Sorry left off the pic link... http://www.mcgwire.com/300ATX.jpg Just bought a new PSU for my AMD K-7 950. I posted here about it a bit ago. Well, I opened it up and looked at it. The fan is built inside the PSU case and the ventilation holes are on the top of the unit (picture below) and then...

Hi, quick question, which program / driver do I need to install to be able to use my CD-RW as a harddisc ? thanks, Marcel

My home system (AMD K6 500) is behaving wierdly. It freezes either while loading win98 or a minute after. It cant be a software problem becuase many times it just doesn't start (no beep, no display) and i even formatted it. I change the power cables of harddisk/floppy etc and that (sometimes)...

I fear the worse with this. My PC has will not boot up. First it did not see the hard drive, the following day it saw it and ran scandisk. Surface scan then started running and it found 4 bad clusters (fixed) in the first 26% then just hung. Now it will not see the hard drive at all. Am I right in...

I just bought a new 17" PowerBook G4. So far I'm really happy with it except for one piece: the built-in WiFi card. It simply doesn't get good reception. I can't even detect my wireless router from outside my own house, let alone detect others' routers from the road! What I'm looking for is a...

My CD-ROM drive has not been recognizing disks lately. Are there any setting I can check to make sure I didn't accidentally change anything? Could it be something as simple as a needing cleaning? I'd rather not open up the box before checking into other, less invasive possibilities. I'm using...

Does anyone have any idea if CD drives are very prone to problems with their power inlets. My brother was fiddling around with one of my PCs whilst it was switched on and he tried to connect a power cable to the back of the CD drive. He said that it made a "snick" noise when he tried to connect it...

My video 16 meg card died so I reinstalled the original 4 meg S3 card. The Samsung 955df monitor is capable of better resolution and definition with text than I am now getting. Looking for an AGP card that will give me the best text possible, other factors are secondary. Any advice as to specific...

Euc1id kenjka: They use PC Chip MB, ASUS, or ECS motherboards. Somebody said the PC Chip boards aren't very good. What about the others? Pros or cons. PC-Chips and ECS are the same thing... And both sucks... ASUS is very good, but they have cheapo mobos too... The ones based...

Issue solved. Alien Zord emailed me with the following, if anyone else experiences the same problem: "The 3rd yellow wire is tachogenerator. It enables some software to monitor the fan speed. Its not needed otherwise." Thus just put the connection where the previous black and red wires went, and...

Any Experience with this monitor.

Can anyone tell me if I can plug a fax machine and seperate phone into a phone outlet using an adapter at the same time and have them both work (of course not at the same time) or must they be switched in and out individually as required?

Has anyone built a PC using this motherboard? I'd just like to compare specs. and ask a few questions regarding fan selection, out of the newsgroups if possible. Thanks. ~ Adrian ~ --- "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." Sir Winston Churchill...

At first i thought it was my HD as my pc was running so slow, then i found out through "Task Manager" that my CPU was been maxed out by simple tasks like moving my mouse to opening MIRC. opening the programs took my CPU usage to 100%, and moving mouse took it from 10% ( use to be 2% idle) to over...
