    PLEASE HELP! Cannot get computer running!

    Check your video card in this new motherboard. Make sure it's properly seated and has all the proper connections from your power supply. And just to double check, you're not saying that you tried running your computer without a heat sink?

    Does msi k9n2 diamond support DDR2 PC-8500 1066Mhz memory ram?

    I think you're good, man. According to this page under the specifications your memory is supported: Newegg.com - MSI K9N2 Diamond AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 780a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards Almost all memory is unregistered or "unbuffered", servers are pretty much the only common...

    Have I a PC or a pile of bits.

    Wow I think you might just have yourself a very nice set of compatible bits there. The board, cpu, and memory match up and that's the biggest wild card so I'd say start building.

    New Printer Suggestion

    Sorry about that, Pothi, I was thinking of it as more of a reference, so you know what make and model to consider.

    New Printer Suggestion

    Assuming you don't need to print in color I'd recommend something like this: Newegg.com - brother HL Series HL-2140 Personal Up to 23 ppm Monochrome Laser Printer - Printer - Laser Printers I have this one and it's very economical and among the cheapest lasers you can get.

    Questions about my CD and DVD Drives

    Hey Diana, that is a very peculiar problem you have there. I'd be lying if I said I knew exactly what you should do but from the sounds of it you'll need at least 1 new drive. There are external drives you can get for you desktop: link But they're fairly expensive and in my opinion that's a...

    Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard"

    Sadly I'm a little underwhelmed, I can't say I expected massive gains but I can't really detect any performance bump. Granted my 'puter is getting pretty old and crusty though so if it gets me another year and a half I'll be pleased.

    MacBook Pro

    Technically even the standard non-pro Macbook could run it. The requirements are farily modest: * A 2 GHz processor * 1.0 GB RAM (physical memory) * 64 MB VRAM (video memory on your video card) * 10 GB of hard drive space If I were in your position I'd go either the MacBook...

    Promoting a Video (for a class)

    So I'm in this class dubbed "Infectious Media" where we're tasked with essentially trying to make a meme of some form go viral. I don't expect this will happen but I have a youtube video that I'm to use for this purpose and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how I could promote...

    What program can you recommend me in making animations?

    It's not really a pure animation program but it's definitely something good to learn on: Adobe After Effects

    Problem with Data Recovery.

    Good call man, you are definitely correct. Maybe this one, it seems to receive power via USB and would also seem to support IDE which I believe is the same as ATA.

    Help With RAM! New build and major issues!

    Probably my last major PC crisis was relatively similar to yours those perhaps not quite as sporadic. I tested my memory sticks one at a time and it didn't seem like they were the problem so I figured that my motherboard might be the root of the problem seeing as it pretty much had a role to...

    Trying to build new gaming system

    Wow, very impressive system shaping up there. You probably won't need those 12GB's for gaming but video editing at least is pretty much the most demanding thing ever so I can see where you're going. I'm assuming you already have your Harddrive/s from a prior rid? Lastly the PSU you chose...

    Problem with Data Recovery.

    You've got the right idea but that enclosure doesn't come with an AC adapter. You might consider something like the following: Newegg.com - AZiO ENC211SU31 Aluminum 2.5" Black eSATA & USB 2.0 External Enclosure - External Enclosures or Newegg.com - Thermaltake BlacX N0028USU External Hard...

    Checking in after a 3+ year hiatus

    Thanks guys. School is definitely consuming but there's no reason I shouldn't have checked in. Either way, good to be back in action. Things are mostly as I remember them but with quite a few tweaks and additions (which is cool).

    Checking in after a 3+ year hiatus

    Glad to see that the fine establishment that is HWFs looking healthy and welcoming after all these years. I won't even pretend to have a valid excuse for my abandonment but lets just say that college has its grips on me. Anyway just thought I'd give a shout out to everyone, feel free to give...

    Good LCD Specs for Gameplay?

    Don't worry too much man. You can get a dvi to vga adaptor for like $3 which doesn't hurt quality at all so that's one route if you're still kicking around with an old CRT warhorse like me or a less recent LCD. If you do want to upgrade though keep what others have said in mind and look for...
