Well, according to BIOS, it is a little above 60 C. Is there some other monitoring program I can use to figure out temps?? It seems that my system has become hotter after the new heat sink and fan were installed. To answer your questions Nathan: 1) Yes I did apply grease on the core. 2) Yes the fan ...

More troubles on the way...

They were bound to come, and now they have. After messing around for over a month, I finally installed the rest of my fans and new heat sink/CPU fan. However, after this got done, my computer has started to experience random rebooting. A friend has tried to run games such as BF1942 and DOD, but it e...

So additional questions as I am thinking of them. First, I know there are both analog and digital input signals. What is the major difference, will I need anything special for either, and which is recommended? Also, I thought i heard you are supposed to run an LCD at its recommended resolution. What...

Purchases to be made, advice needed

Alright, since I'm about to go spend some more of my money I thought I'd get some advice first. The first thing I am looking for is a LCD monitor. I'm thinking it will probably be either 15 or 17 inches, but it all depends on price. I'd be using it for games, movies, and word processing, so any reco...

Oddity of my net connection

I connect to the net via cable modem (service by Comcast). Since there are three computers in the house, we got a router to give them all internet access. However, lately I have either not been able to access the internet or it crawls like no other. The one time we called for tech support (a fun exp...

After much trouble, I finally just wiped the drive and then tried to install XP Pro. EVERYTIME I have started the installation, i...

FP- Well, I checked all my other mods and the only one that screws up is DoD. I tried the config.cfg thing, but all it did was change my error message to "hl.exe has generated some errors and will be terminated... blah blah" The only thing I can think I changed is I might have removed a st...

Half Life Problems

I've been having the problem that whenever I switch servers, Half Life shrinks itself to 1/4 my screen and then freezes there. I am running 2000 and a Radeon 8500 128. I tried the ATI fix for Half Life, and all that did was make it so whenever I joined a server the game crashed. Anyone have any idea...

Sorry to be indecisive, but I will do both anytime. I agree with Doc, some thing like Azumanga should never be translated (too much cultural stuff to make sense to us stupid Americans :p ) Honestly, with some shows, it is just which I see first, sub or dub, that decides which I like better. But for ...
