The descrepancy can be explained by the fact that PCIE is the current standard, and therefore PCIE cards are in mass-production. AGP is obsolete,...
The last trick up my sleeve is to try a "Live Update" BIOS update from Windows, and hope the default for the latest BIOS revision is to have...
Creative Audigy SE - $20 - Like New Thanks, but no worries. The game was OEM with a video card, I have 2 copies and the game won't even run well...
Most likely. Of course, it could also be an issue with Vista... I trust Vista about as far as I can throw the city of Redmond, Washington.
Creative Audigy SE - $20 - Like New Yeah, that's fine. Do you already have Call of Duty: World at War? If not, I'll send you a spare OEM copy in...
(Thread moved to HWF Info & Issues section) Sorry for the trouble; I will ask Sniper to look into it for you. He's the vBulletin expert, and...
Spyware is a very, very common problem on Windows, so I certainly wouldn't rule out an infection. However, the symptoms here don't match the M.O....
That HDD looks good, and the price is right. Unfortunately I can't recommend a UK-based vendor though, since I'm across the pond in the US.
ATI's cards are good these days, and I'm always pulling for AMD. But their video drivers are inexcusable. ATI's drivers have always sucked even in...
Well, then you're in a tricky situation. You could try resetting the CMOS with the onboard jumper, hoping that the default setting for legacy USB...
Yep, overkill for sure. But I got it on sale for $100, so what the hell, right? It's always better to over-spec a PSU than under-spec. The PSU...
I don't think you need one... why not just let the mobo control the fans?
That's pretty tough to go on to be honest, since the details are pretty spartan. It could be a problem with your OS, hardware, or both. I'd run a...
Whoever told you that direct contact heatpipes are much more efficient was right. Any of those would be a good choice for air cooling, so I'd pick...
That's the one that your error dialog is complaining about, so unless you have other info I don't have any reason to think the HDD is an issue.
I dunno, is the D: drive an HDD in your system, or your DVD drive?
Yeah, you should be able to right-click on the executable and change the properties before running. Of course it's not as if I run Vista myself...
Don't think it's a memory issue at all. Looks like something might have changed in the way Vista handles the installation script. That or the...
If you can't enter the BIOS with a USB keyboard until you've turned on legacy USB keyboard support, you'll have to borrow a PS2 keyboard long...
If you're air-cooling, go with the former. If you're water cooling, the latter.
