i've read that there are motherboards with bioses that cannot be altered from the operating system. where does one find such motherboards?

A while back i was getting strange search results in my search pages. after consulting with the avira forum i found that using google's dns server solved the issue. avira, malwrebytes, and spybot turned up with nothing. what influences the types of results a dns server gives it's user...

(edit: i hope it's not the power supply. mine has two outputs for graphic card cables and i tried both.). it must be the video card! and you know why? because my num lock works! cpu, ram and motherboard mus work for num lock to work! (according to the tech support guy anyway. he...

i thought all i was getting was one long beep, but it may be one long followed by two short beeps. have you ever heard a brass instrument gurgle while someone played it because they hadn't emptied the spit out of it? it's kinda like that. what i'm getting may be "beeeeeeeepbeepbeep"...
