bad motherboard causes intermittent ethernet problems? by RayLopez99
I think so. Discussed in other threads, this desktop three year old i5 mobo has had power surges. Perhaps the infamous blown capacitors? (though I don't see any bulging capacitors). I've changed the NIC land line ethernet card and it worked "for a while" but now yellow warning icon for 'limited...

Does Graphics parformance (or lack of) detract overall performance on a non-gaming computer? by Charlie Hoffpauir
My current build has an i5 processor and 16 GB of RAM, with a windows 7 performance rating that looks like 7.7 for processor and RAM, 7.9 for primary hard disk (an Intel SSD), and 6.7 for the motherboard's on-board graphics. Since I don't plan on any gaming, I'm wondering if a dedicated graphics...

This is an intermediate upgrade for my OS/2 Warp Pentium III 1ghz pc. the reason for the upgrade is to install an AGP-4x video card, Nvidia GT7300. I tried to install it on the P3 DFI motherboard, it locked up at boot. I read that apparently the voltage was an issue for some mobos when...

Build advice, please by Nil
I'm starting to plan the build of my next desktop computer, to replace my venerable XP box built in 2006. It still works fine, but I'm finding an increasing number of programs that require Win 7 or later. I've already bought a copy of Win7-64. Technology has changed since the last time I went...

When Wireless LAN is better than a wired NIC! Does an ISP know if aconnection is wired or wireless? by RayLopez99
May not be using my acronyms correctly, but in rural Philippines my ISP ("Bayan"), on a paid connection (not pirated as some / many are here), gives me only less than 1 Mbps when I pay for three. But the real annoyance is that the wired port on the modem/router only works sporadically, and while...

I received an email with a zip file attached. I saved it to the desktop, and unzipped it. It contained two files: Filename.html and Filename_files. I double-clicked on the html file just to make sure it displayed properly, which it did in FF. I then closed FF and attempted to delete the desktop...

Watts a good power supply? by Al Drake
I'm not looking to go cheap here. I look on Amazon at some 1000W units that are very inexpensive and seem to get good reviews. I always try to go top shelf out of the gate but this time I'm wondering as there are some units that also go Big BUCKS. I have had good luck with SilverStone, I have a...

AGP video card: BFG Tech Geforce 7300gt AGP by dilbert firestorm
does anyone know what the bus voltage specs are? all it would say is that it fits in a AGP 2.0/3.0 or universal bus slot. no mention if its 3.0 or 5.0 voltage. I'd ask BFG Tech, but they seem to have gone belly up. -- Dilbert Firestorm remove *byteme* to email me

A different question about power supplies by Charlie Hoffpauir
My situation is that AC power is so unreliable out here that I have UPS units on everything electronic that I need to keep running (TV, Satellite, DVR, WISP, both computers). However, "some" of the newer power supplies, apparently the very efficient ones, won't tolerate the square wave that the UPS...
