    New Computer : want to keep it for a long time

    I hope I didn't cause any confusion. I was showing two DIY builds I did and what buying them from iBuyPower would have cost. The Alienware shows a system that's greatly overpriced for what you get. If it will help I'll edit the post down to nothing.

    New Computer : want to keep it for a long time

    Just to illustrate what these guys are saying this is a system I built (i built my parents a system and changed up my stuff while at it giving them the vengeance ram and water cooler): [*=left]2 x XFX Double D FX-797A-TDFC Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready...

    Introducing Windows 8 Consumer Preview

    Kind of intentional... the screen was failing, the battery was trash, and it was consistently dropping calls. Basically I was bowling, got a call that my father hurt himself and I was trying coordinated with my mother. After I had packed up my stuff, leaving league early, I called my mother to...

    Introducing Windows 8 Consumer Preview

    I'm resistant to change, I just got a smart phone about two months ago. I had a Krazer before that...:grin: only reason I upgraded was because I threw it out of my car window... :whistle: I may give this a shot on my laptop once it's back up and running. Hopefully tomorrow after I'm done running...

    Some Fun with My Laptop

    Hp took over Gateway? I'm appalled :crazy:. That depends though. I got the laptop a few years ago, I don't know, maybe 3 1/2 to 4 years ago. That would also explain why I couldn't log into their site to pull up everything for it. I did have the computer registered on there. :dead: And now some...

    Some Fun with My Laptop

    Thank you, what method did you use to try an paint yours? I know I'm gonna sand it down and spray every thing I can then use water based acrylics on the rest, the kind I used when I was into war hammer... I actually have it apart now and have been periodically snapping pics. I always wondered...

    What are you playing now?

    I logged just over a 100hrs on Skyrim(360) and got bored. I lost it's appeal. Might just be b/c I've played the hell out of Morrowind(PC), Oblivion(PC) and Fallout3(no dlc, 360). I'm currently playing LA Noire(PC) and the occasional Postal3(PC). Had a recent resurgence with Black Ops(360)...

    Some Fun with My Laptop

    =) I got the drive working. I was scratching my head for months over it. I don't know that the drive is the best shape (sounds like an old abused truck), but it reads and plays discs again. A setting in the bios was turned on to disable 32bit data transfers. I don't know how that happened, but...

    First MoBo purchase and install

    I just did a build for the first time last week, so I'm still new to this, but it sounds like your good. These two videos helped me out a lot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_56kyib-Ls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUY0tP5jYIo The guy in the second video kind of annoyed me, mostly because he...

    Infinity Ward working on a Next Gen Call of Duty

    I found MW2 online to be fun when people weren't running around like Sonic with with knives strap all over themselves. I was gonna get MW3 but I heard so much bad about it. Part of me wants to as well because I have the rest of them, but that just might be the OCD =P

    Infinity Ward working on a Next Gen Call of Duty

    If I'm not mistaken the original Infinity Ward team moved over to EA. It was quite a big ordeal. As far as the series goes, I've been playing them since the first one was released. My favorite to date is Black Ops. Then World at War, followed by the first one. I didn't bother getting MW3. If...

    Some Fun with My Laptop

    Now that I have a decent desktop I'm gonna have some fun with my quirky little Gateway Laptop. Here are my intentions: 1: Fix the DVD/CD drive. It doesn't work anymore. Doesn't even spool up now. It's just... there :umm: 2: So after I fix the disc drive, this little pig will get reformatted...

    Which antivirus software is better?

    I used Nortons 360 without any problems for a while. The script ran out so I bought a cheaper Nortons, it was trash. It was noticeably worse, and doesn't contain half the features. If you go the Nortons route, go with 360. Here is a link to the features.

    What is OEM DXE Initialization?

    Ok, that makes sense. I should have broken the code down into parts when looking it up. So With that information, can I take that code and say that computer is initializing the DXE (drivers or firmware? related to the bios?) in order to operate something, or it's having trouble initializing the...
