Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I purchased a HP dv9205 from staples this afternoon, It's a gorgeous laptop with a fantastic build, way better than my dell or ibm and much better than any acer I've seen.
I was originally having a tough time deciding between this one and a Toshiba A100, I eventually opted for the HP as its...
I am getting really tired with my computer constantly rebooting every time I try to play a game for more than 30 minutes, or when I am watching a video or whatever. I've tried troubleshooting but it's just so hard as it is erratic. It could be overheating (~60c) but I don't have a lot of options...
I love the idea and have done similar stuff myself.
But..I got to ask....why are you using such small parts? If it's in the wall couldn't you use a full atx motherboard for example? Or am I not understanding?
Alright...here is a question....
I know that matx boards are can always fit into an atx case. I also realize that shuttle/ideq/Aopen/Asus whatever makes Small Form Factor computers. While I realize those motherboards do not conform to any "standard" has anyone ever tried/had luck with placing...
Okay,
It seems every so often I go through this fidgetty "gotta to spend money I don't have on stuff I don't need" phase. (I think some of you know this)
The thing is I am relatively out of the loop with a lot of computer stuff, I haven't been actively [H] in well over a year. I've been...
Truthfully, I'm not going to settle for anything less than a 24inch widescreen LCD so I would be adding that to the whole thing no matter if it was SFF or Laptop, with the laptop I'd pretty much be paying for a screen I wouldn't be using.
Good points though,
This originally wasn't going to be a post but I was making notes for myself and thought I would share some of my conclusions, feel free to comment if you think I've missed anything:
Expandability
- Laptops lack nearly all forms of expandability as far as adding MORE components. I could add...
well, I decided to do it :)
and it actually worked...or at least got me to the boot process so it did it's job (ie: narrowing down which component(s) was fried.
Course...now I went out and bought a shuttle powersupply I got to fit into my ideq...hahaha..today is not my day.
Alright,
So I replaced a powersupply recently on my main computer.
About a month later the computer went POP and doesnt turn on...led on motherboard still lights up though...
Only reason I replaced the powersupply was due to a noisy fan and didnt want to be bothered with opening it up...
Happy Friday all, I hope you enjoy your weekend!
What I need from you is advice, I wasn't quite sure where to post this, mods can feel free to move.
While the question is about dvdburners I figured the SFF section would be able to help the most.
I am currently building/modifying a...
