Alright, so my family had their popular MMORPG account hacked. The investigation by the company said that the game detected a keylogger. I've done a bunch of preliminary stuff... CCleaner, AVG Scan, Malwarebytes, and... Spybot. I also installed SnoopFree, which is supposed to detect keyboard...

I used to work for Computer A... until the malfunction. After an RMA, the "new" power supply will only power Computer B. It makes no sense. I gave the pins a close inspection. There were a couple that were *slightly* (less than a mm) different than the rest... but nothing obvious. I tried...

Thank you for your reply. I tried the 30 second thing, and it didn't work. A hairline crack would yield inconsistent results, however the computer always works with the other power supply, and never with the RMA'ed one. I went over both the motherboard and the power supply pretty well with a...

Sorry for the vague title, but I'm stumped. I haven't been here in a while... I usually consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to computers... but this one has me vexed. I have two computers, Computer A, and Computer B. Computer A suddenly crashes... from another room I hear a...

Okay, this is starting to drive me crazy... A couple weeks ago while I was away, a family member did a Windows Update that started a problem. Whenever I'm browsing through "My Computer" or "My Documents" or anything with Windows Explorer, everything opens in a new window. By the time I've...

My friend recently bought a Toshiba Laptop that came preloaded with a bunch of "Toshiba" branded things. I'm looking to remove unneeded processes to keep the laptop running in top shape. I was half tempted to just remove everything I didn't recognize, but I've never owned a laptop, and was...

I ended up going going with an XFX 9800 GT. Yeah, their policy is the same, but it just felt weird giving more money to EVGA after being declined.

I want to buy this card: Newegg.com - XFX PVT98GYDLU GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards However, my motherboard's PCI Express x16 slot isn't 2.0. Will I have any problems? I have an ASUS P5N-E.

They wouldn't RMA it... Because it wasn't registered within 30 days of purchase, I didn't get any warranty. Can anyone recommend any other brands? Preferably ones that back up their products without weird conditions...

I have a two year-old video card, an EVGA 8800GTS 640 MB. I recently started experiencing artifacts and system crashes. I updated my drivers all the way and Windows Vista 32-bit to service pack 1, but the problem persists. I'm starting to not think it is software related. I am seeing the...

So I cannot enable automatic updates, I get an "Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either becauseit is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it." Also, I am getting ad popups from my browser, even after I have closed the browser. I thought I had caught Vundo. I...

Meh, it's not really about doing anything constructive, it's about experiencing it. You know how cool it would be to say "I programmed Hello World in binary"? Where I come from, it would be *very* cool.

Can someone give me any information on sitting down and writing 1's and 0's to make your program? It's so impractical that even Google couldn't find anything for me, but I would really like to see a Hello World tutorial in binary. Anyone have any information on this at all? It *has* to be...

I'm having an issue with my keyboard in a game. I use the WASD keys to move, and one of my key combination is CTRL + Number Pad 5. When I'm holding 'W' to go forward, Ctrl + 5 doesn't work. It never detects the '5' press, however, when I'm turning or whatever using the ASD keys, it works...

Is it possible to change the Shift + Numpad 4 to just type a 4, instead of "left arrow"? I want to change all those keys, 0 - 9 + . so that instead of doing those other functions when you hold shift, that they simply do their regular thing...
