Took out a new 3.4Ghz, hadn't even run past a hardware build, and stuck this in: IPentium D805 2.66 GHz SL8ZH 2M/533 dual core 64-bit. Both right off BIOStar's CPU support listings and no problementoes. See in the BIOS: Disable Multi-Core (close enough for not verbatim). Don't recall if that was...

I'm want to replace the c: drive because of various annoyances (e.g., not being able to shut Windows if any instances of Windows Explorer are open) that are not due to malware. At present, I have two IDE hard drives. The primary drive is a 3-year-old Western Digital 500GB unit, partitioned as...

Just doing a little work on a different network than I'm used, copper (A)DLS voice over inet, with a LAN or so stated for something like 10M / 1M u/dl ratios. It's on the brochure, for sure. So I start asking questions, as usual, and got myself routed over to a speed test for verification. And...

I currently have a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L mobo with a Core2 Duo 2.33 gig processor. The CPU is just under specs for some newer video games. Wondering about overclocking to move it into a higher realm of performance to avoid popping for another CPU. Apparently with this mobo it can be done but I...

Apparently my new flight simulator (X-Plane 10) run significantly faster in Linux than in Windows. But I also need white text on a black background (I have trouble reading on the surface of a virtual lightbulb). The simulator installed easily for me on (ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso). But I...

But seriously. I've been doing Windows for ages. Never had a real problem to do with security. Apparently Linux developers don't really care about unpopular Linux is. Otherwise they would provide an option for the ordinary user to get around all of the permissions garbage that is set up by...

My friend has a emachine e627 laptop and he cracked the LCD screen. He pulled it out and was going to replace it but ran into some financial problems so he wants just use the external monitor plug to send it to an old crt he has laying around. But the problem is that when you let it boot up and...

In case not clear... Using Macrium Reflect to back up a dual-boot Linux and Windows drive works fine. You can even backup and restore parts of the whole. And (at least when reinstalling Linux) I think you can install right over the prior Linux partition. Meaning that you don't have to...

Okay, so I've installed my SSD as my boot disk. It's working fantastically for the most part, but every now and again, I see the C-drive just become 100% busy, and which in turns prevents other things from functioning on the computer. The 100% busy periods don't last for more than 10 seconds,...

This says the Netgear N Series (WNDR Models) I just bought a Netgear N600 The box says Wireless printing. Tech support says I need an Ethernet connection. My printer is only USB. If I read correctly, the Netgear N Series (WNDR Models) will allow you to plug a USB only printer into the router...

I have a Linksys WRT 54GS. It has been stored for a year, but it was working when I stopped using it. I just switched to Cable. When I plug the computer into the modem (Surfboard SB6121) the link light comes on right away. If I plug in the router, the Internet light on the router comes on, but...

I have a PC with an Intel D875PBZLK main board. Currently there is 2GB of RAM installed in it. I want to upgrade this to the board's maximum capacity of 4GB. When I change the memory modules will the system automatically become aware of increased memory capacity? Or will there need to be changes to...

I was using an old VGA monitor as primary (VGA connector). I was using an LCD monitor for a second monitor (DVI). It worked fine. I replaced the VGA monitor with another LCD monitor using a HDMI. When I try to extend the second monitor nothing happens. The existing LCD monitor will not work. ...

On second thought... I just redid the dual-boot installation. Again, Linux is showing the Windows folders in its file manager under the name of what effectively was drive C. It was the only partition on drive C. I guess, when the Linux installation decreases that Windows partition size in order...

Currently I have an Nvidia GeForce 8600 256 mb PCIe card. I'm not a big gamer but have been playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 which is a couple of years old and find I can't run it on the highest quality setting. It doesn't look bad at the med setting but wondering what it would look like on the...

My initial online searching indicates a PCIe 2.0 card should work in a PCIe 1 slot but does it perform exactly the same way or do you lose performance? Thanks

I was trying to get rid of things identified as root kits on my secondary hard drive. They may or may not be root kits, but I know they aren't necessary. First, the drive's folders were copied to the primary drive (the drive is also backed up on removable media). Using a Western Digital utility...
