    A8R32-MVP sometimes won't boot...

    I am having the same issue with my board (K8N Neo4-F). During boot-up, I will have no video at all and hear the beep code 1-long, 2-short. If I reset the machine, video will usually work fine after the first reset and the machine boots normally. However, there have been a few times when I've...

    What's the dumbest thing you've ever done to your computer?

    Back when I got my first comp, which was a Quantex 233mhz, I decided that Prodigy was just too good an ISP. So, what did I do? Talked my dad into going with AOL... Needless to say, it was horrible. I don't know what their software did, I was computer illiterate at the time, but the top half of...

    Keyboard question

    I have this bad boy and it works fine for me. And @ $14.95, it's cheap. As mentioned above, if the damn thing's going to sit on your desk, there's no need for wireless. I've put this keyboard through hell too. Wax has been poured on it, it's been beaten and hit against the desk, and it still...

    Looking to buy a printer

    Mr_Evil and Stiletto One pose very good points. I wish I would have gone with a laser printer. Being a college student, I print off reports and papers all the time. Being that I have a Lexmark, which I hear are the costliest of all printers when it comes to ink, I spend a pretty penny every...

    Isn't this the sexiest mouse on the planet??

    That mouse looks about as comfortable as this one.

    Windows Sound

    Don't think you can disable the clicking sound. I looked for it myself at one time and couldn't find it. All other windows sounds (startup, shutdown, errors, alerts, etc) are found in Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Sounds. Select the sound you want to change or remove at the bottom of...

    Dust in PC case

    Well, I dunno of any sites that have statistics, pics, or anything concerning dust. However, I do know personally that dust can increase temp of components. After dusting my HSF one time, I noticed a ~20*F drop in temps (~125*F before dusting and ~100*F after). Dust can also cause fan...

    dell printers

    From what I know, yes, Dells are rebadged Lexmarks. I have a Lexmark X75 Printer/Scanner combo. Ink levels NEVER report correct, cartridges are expensive as hell (as most ink carts are), and quality isn't as good as I'd like. I'd say skip the Dells and get a good quality Epson or whatnot. At...

    My MX700 has chronic red light blinking disorder

    I just went out and got a pair of Energizer NiMH rechargable batts rated at 2050mAh. I can't remember the mAh rating of the original batts, and can't find where on Logtech's site it said what mAh rating to look for. Saw it in a thread a week ago or so, maybe someone will remember.

    Will this work?

    YES! And we want pics and screenshots! Especially if it bursts into flames, explodes, and kills the computer, a friend or family member, or even a hamster. Remove the last part... Just if it bursts into flames.

    not quite SFF | another mutation | slim uATX enough for power user / gamer?

    But not as annoying as PURPLE. :p Nice system. Personally, I prefer the plain jane cases, like this one, without all the lights and windows and such. Case I'm using now is an old AOpen HX-08, which I modded with CCFLs and a window... But that was ~3 years ago and it was cool at the time. It...

    Will this work?

    Interesting... Never would have thought of doing that. Be funny to hand it to someone who didn't know a lot and see what they would do.

    OUCH! someone sent me a hard drive in the mail...

    My eyes hurt... :D Pink's not bad. Purple is FAR worse. At least you can read pink. Glad to hear that the drive turned out okay. Elledan's right. As long as the drive is powered down, they're pretty hardy. I'd be worried too though. Have fun with the server. I had a similar experience to...

    Overstressed PSU?

    Check out this FAQ/Guide sticky in the Power Supply forums. Very good read from Ice Czar, whom I should say is the ultimate bad ass when it comes to this stuff. :D http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=779582 In there, he provides a link to this nifty little tool. I went through and...

    MX-700 "creeping" by itself.....$#@!

    At the time mine did it, I didn't have Mouseware installed, only generic MS. I tried Mouseware in the past and didn't care for it, so after a format I didn't install it. Anyway, if it's happening with Mouseware and w/o it, as well as with SP2 and w/o it, I'm at a loss as to what it could be...
