Hello, Not sure what this is but lately my PC is buzzzing during playback of sound. Like short moments my system seems to hang. Granted it's old and running a lot of stuff... This freezing/buzzing mostly happens when World of Warships is running but I started to notice it with other...

I've been learning about people making their own "Pre-Matrix CyberDecks" out of used computer parts and old Commadore64 cases. Example: https://n-o-d-e.net/cyberdeck64.html Has anyone made their own cyberdeck? I plan to go dumpster diving for old parts soon and hope to make one. Not a lot of...

16-core 1950x has base 3400 MHz, but the 32-core Epyc 7601 is only 2200 MHz Now for same power, then I would expect Threadripper to have 3100 MHz base. I realise the Epyc is made to flog all cores 24 hours a day, and is going to be in pizza box with tiny fans. So is it that Threadripper is for...

Hello, Finally some happy news from me regarding the Creative Labs Gigaworks S750 !!! These guys at: http://www.rbheerlen.nl/ Managed to repair it !

I found a nice-looking PC left out for trash collection, took it home and tested it. It has Corsair water cooler (perhaps H60 model) and i7-3770 CPU, with 77 W for TDP. When I go to monitor in BIOS, it shows only 24 degrees for CPU temperature. Often when I have gone to BIOS hardware monitor in...

Evening, Paul. Acouple of years ago you helped me understand (alittle) how the ASUS Motherboard in my relatively new ASUS build might contribute to the premature failure of the CMOS battery. Based on your advise and my unwillingness to try to return my new motherboard for this...

I saw a consumer electronics store advertising **** with: Intel best generation Core CPU eh? Well they seemed to given up on tic-toc and have Coffee Lake, Kaby Lake and Skylake_X selling concurrently. So is Joe Sixpack going to shun a Skylake-X think it is only a 6?

A few months ago, a friend let me use his IRWIN Self-Adjusting Wire Strippers. Sold! I figured they would be well over $50 but they are less than $20. Should have bought one when they were first available. Wish I had had one decades ago. Would have saved so much time and tremendous amount of...

Hello, One of my harddisks just failed ? I am not sure yet, but it remains undetected, or partially damage to motherboard. I think what happened was as follows: 1. I may have had haste, I pushed a flash/ssd card into the card reader, but it was stuck in diagonal. Because it has long metal...

Good deal just got hot in my little hands. Celebrations. Amazon private NYC dealer for a new -Not Refurbished- Marble Trackman. Cost me $22, which is normally closer to $30 for most (including tax which I escaped). Four buttons easy-pie assignable/programmable to Logitech's limits of...

Today my XP went off the tracks. I think it booted normally but when I used Agent and Eudora to get hearders and check mail at the same time, something got messed up bigtime. Agent seemed to freeze, but did work after a while. Tried a reboot, things got stalled when my bat was saving email. I...

I was given a dead PC: if you pressed the on button, the fans just flicked half a turn then stopped. The mainboard does not have a standby power LED. I changed the power supply - same thing. So then I removed CMOS battery. It only showed 0.2 volts. I hope it is not one of those faults that...

Threats of violence towards others comprise about 95% of what this asswipe LUSER posts. He pays a site like Intelius to give him names of family, relative, current addy, etc., etc. He then brags how he "0wns" people. What in the hell is so devastating about posting some addys and family names?...

I have this Lenovo T61p (actually two of them) which I pulled out of the trash. Put in a HD and 3GB RAM and Linux Mint and it works pretty well, except that the 'h' key doesn't respond unless I really jackhammer it, and then I copy/paste it into gedit (Linux notepad) for further use. I figured...

Windows 10 is by default showing unoccupied USB drive ports now? Mainly curious. Thanks.
