I will reply tonight once I have gotten a chance to take a look at the system again. I have no external media plugged into the system as of right now. I on occasion will have an external hard drive connected. But the only thing I have plugged in when I was testing this issue was the wireless...

First off, this is my first post here in quite some time! Good to be back on here. Now for the problem. I have a custom built machine (one I built when I was on here last probably), and I got a new hard drive because my old one died. I installed Windows 7 on this new hard drive and every so...

Yeah, I was hoping to narrow it down to just one or the other if possible. They want to spend as little as possible on the repair and need it back ASAP.

That's what I figured, but I wasn't sure so I tried it anyways. So technically the CPU could possibly still be bad? It would be much easier to fix if that is the case. No matter what I've tried with the CPU installed it still won't turn on or power up the fan I have connected to test it.

So my parent's computer won't turn on anymore. Originally was thought to be the power supply, so I took out the PSU and tested it with one of my PSU testers and it turned on, and all voltage readings looked spot on. I tried removing the motherboard from the case to see if it was a grounding...

Here's my new home internet! :D

It's just the new plans. My old plan is up so I am updating to the new plan which offers this new speed. It is about $15 more than my current plan, but comes with a DVR, 100 new channels, and the faster internet.

When I first built my computer, it was meant to be a mild gaming budget build. It was $500 to build. The original specs were something like: Foxcon 780G mobo AMD Athlon X2 5400+ 2.4GHz (OC'd to 3.2GHz) 4GB DDR2 800 HD 4830 512mb video card 160gb HDD 500W Xcilio power supply Windows Vista Home...

Currently at work: At home I have 25Mbps/15Mbps, which is getting updated to 35Mpbs/35Mbps in a few days so I will post again with those results!

My passwords range from 14 to 23 characters long and are all unique per each website. The easiest and most secure way to do this? Make a short sentence about that webpage that is easy to remember. For example, on tech forums you could say - "trotteristhe#1guru" or "hikarialwaysreplies1st"

The on die graphics of the newest i3/i5's you mean? I have a laptop with an i5 450m with the graphics on the i5 die. So this should see much better graphics performance than my other laptop which has a GMA 4500MHD?

You can OC a 360 if you have jtagged it and use a custom OS (popular in the modding community). You just can't ever take your 360 online again. And it's also illegal since jtagging supports playing of pirated games.

The Kinect + 4GB 360 S will be $300 not $349 :) They also just announced a Halo Reach limited edition 360 S so if any of you are big Halo fans and are thinking of upgrading 360's I would wait till September!

HDCP prevents the use of HMDI to capture video. One of the security features to make sure you aren't pirating copyrighted materials. As for the original question, I'm afraid the Hauppauge is about the best solution out there. Most other devices don't feature a pass through option so you cant...

She wasn't even hot to begin with, IMO.
