Yeah that's what I was afraid of. Most of my stuff did end up in headaches for a lot of the same reasons. I mean I guess it's almost simpler to just go manually into the second drive (that's not getting overwritten) and launching exes that way. Just sucks when the search option on the start menu...

Hey guys. Over the course of two months I've had quite the handful of problems so I've become tired of trying to correct software issues. I run a Falcon Northwest Desktop so they come with the handy emergency reset flash drive (that I've actually used several times already). Now here's what I...

I usually try and use Speedtest.net by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test but I can't ever load the page as I've tried several different times since this issue started.

Okay so with more investigation I think it's a combination of lousy internet and issues with the networking on this unit (which also happens to be my most expensive one of the bunch). Going with MidnightShadow's advice and I checked out how the router's signals were on the front panel. It all...

It's the same one I had before I moved. Also the good thing is if there's any resets in order, all the password/network info they could provide is on the bottom of the unit. Though I'm not entirely sure what a full factory reset might entail, (besides the actual reset button) here is the actual...

Well the gateway was installed when we arrived here, to fix the pitiful mess of wires that were hanging there in it's place. Other than that I think we only have had a router as actual our box to use. What makes this odd is that this is a router we've had for a while and used somewhere else...

Alright, so I've tried reloading the drivers (though it already says they were up to date?). Otherwise I wanted to try bypassing the router, though this really isn't my most knowledgeable area. From what I can gather in this place, the router is just plugged (via DSL cable) into a wall outlet...

Well I've tried getting through the suggestions there, to little avail. I will also note that since I brought my PC back online, besides this specific issue there have been other network problems that may be linked to the same thing. For instance the majority of webpages have difficult times...

Hey guys, had a random problem come up after not having been able to use my computer for over a month. I had to replace a cooling unit, which took longer than I would like but strangely Windows wasn't able to update when I got back online. It gives me this when I try and update... error code...

Well I don't plan on running anything after 2000 (maybe besides Theif Metal Age). But it would be cool to get Unreal, Quake, Decent and of course the older Jedi Knight games and some of the other great shooters. Other than that I was just gonna try and expand my playing base to classics I never...

Well only thing is all the ATX cases I want (the new ones anyway) all have a basic PSU. These cases cost close to nothing though, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if all I had to do is swap the PSUs out. Still debating what kinda mobo to put in it. I'm not crazy about getting any really...

It is really spacious is that one you use or a different one? Just outta my nostalgia I pulled up another one of the beige cases but I tried to aim for a mid tower that seemed right. What's the verdict on this one? I thought it was a step up from the last one I found and fits the style to the...

Oh, it doesn't have an AGP? I actually find the Dimmension desktop cases really interesting but man I've never seen a PSU mounted like that before. My thing big gripe was the sparse drive bays cause I was actually really considering RAID 0 as mentioned by PP Mguire. But if it doesn't have an...

I don't mind the color, as long as it fits the parts which it looked pretty accommodating. Personally I'd like a case with as much room as possible, it'd be nice if it also had a PSU that came with it (cause I've had passed issues with wrong PSU sizes). Are there any cases you'd mention out of...

The P3 was just the new boxed CPU I came up with (not sure if that clocks to high for what I'm looking for though? Intel Pentium III E 800 MHz BX80526U800EB Processor | eBay Here is a board I was directed to as well. Thought I could swap the CPU for something a bit higher if that didn't hurt...
