It happens when I copy or make operations (zipping or ckecksum calculations) on large files (i.e. 500 MB or more). Similar issues look to be very common, and there are thousands internet pages about it. However I didn't succeed to find any relevant information concerning my specific trouble. Two...

It has occurred to me that one could build a completely malware-proof PC by installed special disk drives that do not actually accept write operations, but instead write them aside into a temporary area that is deallocated each time the drive is reset. Has anyone ever built such a drive? The idea...

My roommate is running WinXP on 2 maxtor 120's, with one of them formatted to about 30g / 90g (C and D respectively). Suddenly today, when he restarted, XP threw him into the 'scandisk' mode for "consistency errors" on D:, and shortly after it begins the scandisk, it says something like, "Master...

Do these 'memory optimizers' actually do any good or are they a waste of time (like 'registry cleaners')? TweakRAM http://www.elcor.net/tram.php

Hello, I am looking for one of those computer chassis that is completely open. It's stainless steel, sits on its side, and has no panels. You can just reach in and touch a component. I have no idea what these are called, I just remember seeing one once. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Hi; I live in a very rural area, and can only connect to the internet via modem. The connection here rarely ever goes over 28,800 (I have no other noise on the lines). Can anyone tell me what kind of modem is better: a ISA or a PCI? And, does anyone know how to tell if a modem is a

Hi I have been offered a HP PIII 1000ghz system. It has 'On-board-sound'. I recall some time ago reading that this was not upgradeable. Will I be able to replace or upgrade HP's 'on-board' if necessary? Richard

Hey, I've just intalled a new Gigabyte GA-VT600(L) mainboard for my system (see specs below) I have a Kobian Mercury 300W PSU, admittely isn't alot of power but it seems to be handling the system at the moment. The system works fine except for one issue when I choose shutdown from the Windows...

Hello, I was curious how Company of Heroes Tales of Valor would run on my old Pentium III 450 mhz upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. Even if the game ran slow it could be interesting to test/try things out. So I transferred the 8 GB game iso to the old computer via network and then installed it over...

Hello, I am starting to believe that NVIDIA's Fan-Based-Heatsink Designs like the recent GTX 690 are totally wrong ! And here is why: The heatsink fins are placed in the same direction as the airflow. This will cause dust to easily get stuck between the heatsink fins and especially in front...

Outside of my having a bad provider,perhaps, how is it I receive spam that is in NO WAY addressed to me? When I check properties/message details I cannot find my name anywhere. I do find a name @ my same provider but NOT MY name. Since my spam as increased 1000% in the last week I am concerned. Xeno

I'm doing a new build 'pooter with some new stuff and some stuff that's been kicking around. The intent is decent performance but *quiet*, cool, and reasonably cheap. Most of my use will be "light load". I no longer "chase the Holy Grail of Maximum Frame Rates", I can't twitch fast enough for...

Hallo, A few days ago I was at my mother's place. I noticed her laptop was infuriatingly slow. It was a Toshiba Satellite L670. It used to be fast, I was also under the impression that it was a kinda fast and expensive laptop.

Hello, I was considering the T version of Intel's Skylake processor. However it seems unavailable, maybe/perhaps there is a reason for it. Maybe the T version is just not so great. What interests me about the T version is the low TDP of 35 watts. However the clock frequency is only 2.8 GHz per...

Hello, Here is an idea for futher exploration, it may become the future of computing in the far future, but perhaps it has some merit today. The "Software Driven" transputer is the most purest form of computing possible. The word transputer in this case is not derived from "transistor" and...

Well, almost. Got the thing apart, found the 'Hidden Screw' I'd missed before. Microswitches almost look generically orderable, well marked w/brand &etc. Four microswitches, 2 to a side, regrettably, on non-swappable PCB (left switch boards don't fit the right, viz a viz &etc). That means:...

Today I noticed something strange (couple of minutes ago), 3 march 2016 at 14:50. I was about to start computering/internetting. Googling (and facebooking and linked-in something I rarely do). I noticed the connection was very slow. Websites would load very slow or not at all.
