You mean a 920? You will need one hell of a aftermarket heatsink for that.

okay I ordered my fucking 720

Hey guys, I have a question that you might be able to help me with or point me to someone how can.

I have a Computer that i am trying to install a Version of Windows XP over the Current one. It will not let me boot the disk from the Start Screen. Do you know anyway to erase the Existing Windows and Input the XP I have on Disc.

Sounds like you have a problem with your computer detecting your disc at boot up. What you have to do is go into your BIOS and change the priority of the boot sequence so that that the CD-ROM drive is first and not the HDD. The key is usually responsbile for the entrance to the BIOS is one of the 'F' keys such as F12. In the bottom right corner of the boot up screen, it will say what key to press for the BIOS. After you complete this task, you need to put the disk in and say yes to booting it. When you come to the installation menu, just delete the old partition that had the OS and create a new partition in that spot for your fresh copy of XP.

I hope your computer will suffer from the China Syndrome :3

My motherboard just gave me the instant FF error.

This happens to Nvidia motherboards when something is seriously wrong with the board itself. It's a telltale sign of a bricked MB. I currently have the battery out to reset cmos, if it doesn't post when I put it back in in a few minutes, I need to try and RMA.

Shit.

RMA.

Sorry to hear that. The mother of one shall always be remembered.

Okay so I'm on my stepsister's dell for a while on that new installation of Windows Matt gave me. I neglected to reinstall audio drivers, and now I'm in a bit of a pickle. Dell's support page lists 3 different onboard sound chips for this model. Device manager draws a blank and tells me I have "High definition audio device."

How do I find out which chip I have so I can install the right drivers?

I would download them all and install each one till something positive clicked.

Although that sucks ass, I am impressed by a motherboard that can...tell you shit.
Expensive? Or am I outdated...

Also, Newegg's "Rush Delivery" doesn't seem to do anything. Oh well, didn't expect an extra 4 bucks to make a monitor get here any faster.

It's just 2 seven-segments soldered to a mobo. It's not necessarily too great for displaying information due to its simplicity, but at times its handy.

It's becoming much more mainstream and common at EVGA boards, I don't believe other companies do it.

Buying a separate 8" 480x800 screen and implementing it into the room for two of your bays in the front of your computer, would make for more impressive information monitor. The Voodoo Omen has it :3 it's 20k.

Lol. That's some nice case modding. How much information does it display?

It's a pretty hifty large screen, so anything. Hell, you could use it as a secondary and put your MSN Messenger or whatever small program, to just sit there while you game. Definitely beats that small craptastic screen that is offered on that new gaming keyboard.

That's like telling me to see what happens with Nvidia's drivers on a crossfire computer

How much does something like that cost? And as far as I'm concerned, the only practical way to hook it up is to get a USB header => USB port adapter, and hook it up to a usb video card inside the case.

Okay they shipped out my fucking 720.

It's not and I don't see anyone else with suggestions. The driver will either work or it won't, and if you don't want to take the time to find the exact driver for yourself, you'll have try them all.

How

You have much to learn.

For a noob like me who doesn't know what all those specs means besides hard drive/RAM could you perhaps make a little "Computer Specs for Dummies" ?:P . I really want to know more about computer hardware and all that stuff, so I also can build my own computer :)

Scarily enough, I was almost (might still be) in that position, my uncle found a old laptop (at least 4 years) in one of his cupboards, I'm trying to get it off him, but he might be getting it repaired and so I'd have to buy it off him.

Then I'd have to upgrade it, but can you upgrade laptops? I've heard that RAM is fine, but could you replace graphics cards?

No. You can upgrade the RAM, HHD and Wireless card. A hand full of laptops out there have their CPUs capable of being upgraded as well.

Well Shit.
Once again, I've spent a ton of money, only to be fucked up the arse.
I bought the monitor last thursday night...waited, and waited...until FINALLY it came today.
I brought it inside, opened it up, glorious 23 inches, layed it out, and turned it on.
One...small...dot.
I had a single, red, dead pixel.
Immediatley I googled any remedies, and after running a few tests, playing a few flashing videos, and "rubbing the screen", I knew I was fucked.
The Newegg RMA policy for monitors is there has to be at LEAST 8 dead pixels. However I called customer service and was given an exception.
Printed out the rma, taped it on the box, rewrapped the monitor, drove my ass down to UPS, and mailed it off to CALIFORNIA. They mailed this damn thing from NASHVILLE, TENNESSE.
It'll get there by NEXT MONDAY, and who knows how long until I get another one sent back to me, which may have 0 dead pixels, or 7. Oh, and the shipping and handling cost 27 bucks, so that "great deal" is pretty much blown out of the water.
I wasn't even that impressed. It was a big ass screen, connected through DVI, the resolution was nice, nice details, but it wasn't "OMG HD CLARITY I CAN SEE FREAKING RAINDROPS ON RAINFOREST LEAVES". It was worth about 200 bucks, and I got what I paid for.
I know it was only 1 small red dot, but it bugs the shit out of me. I spent my own money, took the time to find a deal, put my faith into newegg, again, and then got this shit? I can't put up with it.
Hopefully, 2 weeks from now, this'll all be solved.

It's an Acer,that's probably why.

Anyways.

Tried installing XP, some how it tried it got rid of my small sun 100mb partition for W7 and now I had to reinstall W7 but after it finished unpacking the files, it rebooted and now its stuck at the boot screen with Asus's name and all.

I'm screwed.

Update.

It appears that I can finally get into the BIOS and do an installation of an OS when my primary 250GB HDD is physically disconnected from my computer. Tomorrow (Today technically - 2:14AM) I'm going to attempt to get to a few stores and hopefully find a 1TB WD 7200RPM 32MB HDD because even though I can order it online, I have a lot of school projects to be completed this week along with personal needs that need to be fulfilled and ordering can take 3~14 days to arrive which is inconvenient right about now.

My procrastination and inability to choose effectively, has finally hit me hard. I fucking hope to god that my Files won't be gone, I have some EXTREMELY sensitive data on there for projects and information that have taken me so far years to collect and produce. Along side a incomplete file that has 2000$ written all over it and that is not even saved on another source of storage.

I hate hard drives, they are such a old dying technology that its embarrassing to think that our race has still not come up with a more affordable and efficient method of data storage (SSDs do not coun;t as paying 900$ for 256GB is not exactly convenient or even physically possible for majority of computer users.)

Here's a picture to visually express my anger and hate for HHDs.

my 720 and mx-2 comes in and I
