My pc got infected with something my av calls an autorun worm. I did the usual thing in safe mode, and got rid of it. But today i go and plug in my external hard drive, and boom virus warning again. It must've spread to the external hard drive and back onto my pc now. So it got me thinking...

I accidentally ordered 2 Bolt thru kits with my last NCIX order :( You should be able to use it on any "lga755 ready" heatsink. It provides a more secure mounting mechanism as opposed to push pins, and as a result lower temps (usually). So I'm looking to trade it for something I need. I was...

I'm fixing a laptop for someone. Every time it turns on it asks for a bios password. Seeing as I can't get into the OS, I downloaded the manual and re-seated the RTC battery. I tried it right after and it still asked for a password, so I figured it must be unplugged for longer. I googled it and...

I want to run a hdmi cable from the computer to the tv (in the soon-to-be completed basement). I have an 3850, so I will have to use a dvi-hdmi adapter. It just hit me that I'm not going to be able to get audio from that am I? So that leaves me with optical vs coaxial (from my ds3l). Any...

I installed firefox 3 beta 5 a few days ago and after i uninstalled the last version of firefox (2.x) the icon image disappeared on my desktop. I can get it back by killing explorer and starting it again but its a little annoying. It goes away whenever i restart. I took a screenshot to show you...

Ive finally gotten around to start folding@home but im just trying to figure somethings out. In the faqs, it says that using your gpu can increase your producation 30x?! Seems like a no brainer but it says that catalyst 6.1 is the best for it? Im running 8.3 and there was supposed to be a...

Im looking to update my display drivers to 8.2, but im not sure what the best way to do it is. Some people swear by driver cleaner and say that it is necessary to run it between driver installations. Others say that it delets needed files and corrupts systems. What do you think? And how do you...

I have a couple avi files that im planning on burning to dvd to watch on the tv. I was going to just convert them to the standard dvd format, but i read that this would result is a large decrease in quality (makes sense). It also said a better way to do this would be to burn a divx dvd and turn...

I put together a new system and the first time i powered it on, I noticed the rail fusion light went on on the back of the psu. I found this kind of wierd becuase it shouldn't be using that much power (the psu has 4 12v rails that are supposed to work at 20amps each. When the load is too high...

Im trying to decide between three cards... 3850 256mb @ 190 8800 256mb @ 214 3850 512mb @ 224 (prices in CAD btw) the other thing im trying to figure out is at what resolution ill be running on. My monitor doesn't support high resolutions so im not sure if 512mb of memory would make a...

I'm going to be building a new computer soon, and assuming all the necessary parts are hdcp compliant would I be able to watch 720p video files? Or does it not even matter on pc? The other thing is that my monitor only has a vga connection to hook up from the computer. Would 720p make a...

I recently installed ubuntu and am dual booting it with xp. At times during bootup (before and after grub bootloader) my monitor shows me a flickering "out of range" message. It shows resolution, and vertical/horizontal frequencies, but I cant see what they are because its flickering so fast...

Does anyone know how to change the shortcut to lock the phones keypad? I have to press menu-star and its annoying. How would i change it to lets say star-star? I've been told you have to edit the cg1 but there doesn't seem to be instructions anywhere. thanks Matt
