Hey all! Haven't been on here in ages...but when the old computer acts up, I know who to call :) Okay, here's the scenario: I was having some CPU overheating issues a couple of weeks ago - turns out the fan A) wasn't mounted particularly well and B) the heatsink was clogged with dust. I...

Hi everyone! Don't know if you remember me, but I used to be on these forums quite a lot back in the day (whenever that was). You might remember my friend Exfoliate. Anyway, got a question for you. I've got an aging motherboard (Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe) and want to upgrade my CPU (it's...

Hey all. As a Grade 12 Prefect in some preppy private school in Canada, I have to write a chapel speech entailing my "journey" through the school and what a school means to me....hehehe...lame, huh? Anyway, we need to chose a Bible reading for our speech, and this is my question: Does anyone...

I doubt any of you will get this except Exfoliate. See what I do in my spare time? (my dog's name is Pippin :D )

Well...it has come around again, and once again, I'm off to private school (last year, thank Allah). Just thought I'd give a post because I might not be able to get on HWF for a little while. Gotta get settled in, learn how to be a prefect, whip little kids into submission, and become a...

Greetings, fellow urbanites! Recently (as in, today), I recieved my October issue of PC Gamer, a delightful little read for the intelligent gamer (cough cough). Anywho, inside this piece of literature was a DVD containing a 14-day trial of none other than World of Warcraft! "Goody goody!"...

I've been wondering this for some time now. I notice certain people (such as Willz) have sig tags such as "Creative User" and "Linux User" and even "Powered by Logitech Hardware". I've seen ones for games too (much more appealing to me :) ). Where might one go about getting those? I can't seem...

Hey all. So, I'm happy with my new computer, but I COULD be happier. So Exfoliate and I get together and we overclock my system. Cautiously, of course. We went inside my BIOS and changed the CPU Frequency from 200 to 210, thus boosting my mobo from 2.2 Ghz to 2.31 Ghz. Not a huge upgrade, but...

Recently upgraded my system, and I changed to PCI Express, so I had to get a new video card :confused: . SO, I've got a GeForce 6800 GT lying around and I'm planning on selling it. It's: -Brand new, barely used -AGP -Very decent mid-end card, will run most of the latest games well. -Going for...

Alright, Karanislove, you've inspired me. The Movie Name Game was so much fun, I figured we aught to have a one for band names, right? Same rules: I'll start with a random band name, and you take the last letter of that name and make it the first letter of your band choice. And so on and so...

Ok! If any of you remember, a while back my power supply went out on my computer. Since my b-day was close at hand, we decided to go out and buy a new case, a bunch of parts, etc. and make a whole new computer mostly. Here are the specs for my old computer: Pentium 4 1.9 Ghz (AGP) GeForce...

Ok, late last night, my computer began to restart itself automatically. It would stay on the desktop for a while, and then reboot and go back to the desktop and reboot, etc. I got angry and went to bed. Early this morning, I awake and try to boot my computer, and it does very little. It: -...

Hey all. Well, my computer has finally hit the dust. This morning, it wouldn't boot, and kept on restarting itself the second I power it up. Dad and I suspect a hardware issue, and so we're thinking of buying some new hardware for it. It was in need of a tune-up anyway, but this is just a...

I know it's an older game (can't wait for 2007), but I've recently gotten back into UT2004 and I'm greatly enjoying it. On the weekend, I went to a lan party (LanWars VI to be exact) and I participated in the UT2004 tourney. It started off as a 20 person elimination round where the top 8 get in...

Hey all. Recently, I participated in a lan party and won 2nd place in the UT2004 tourney. For it, I got some sort of device used to adjust fan speeds for sound purposes (I think). I'm a little hazey on the exact purpose of it, but I'm pretty sure that's it. It has the option of turning up the...

Hey all! I suppose I'm back after being gone so long. Don't know if any of you remember me except for Exfoliate (sorry I missed you recently, man). Anyway, I'm back, hopefully for good. I'll never leave again, I promise. And how do my new sig/avatar look? I've been hard at work trying to find...

Hey gang. My Dad has a question for ya'll. He deleted some files a while ago and would like to have them back. Are there any shareware programs which can bring these files back? Thanks.

Ok, here's the problem. I recently bought Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver for the PC..oldy but a goody. Had some troubles on XP, so I looked it up. One site told me to patch it, which I did (1.2) and then they gave me a new .exe file to overwrite the original. I did that, it worked fine. I even put...

Ok, quick question here. I'm a Windows user. Have been since MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, and probably always will be. I don't particularly love Windows for many reasons which I won't get into, but I'm a gamer...case closed. My question is, what makes Linux so much "better" than Windows? I've heard...

Just a heads-up on a new-ish adventure game, Indigo Prophecy. It's gotta be the best game I've played in years. I'm not really one for adventure games, but this game is so good! I picked it up after I read PCGamer's review of it, and it surpasses all my expectations. Pretty much, everything you...
