Yeah, don't I know it. Still using my 3200+ on an Abit AV8 board, it serves my purposes. =P Oh yeah, there's also the 6600GT...yeah... Clearly those purposes don't include intensive PC Gaming.

My condolences. Still rocking that X2 4200+, eh Trotter? LanParty UT nF4 SLI-D...man, I remember those! =P

Thanks a lot for your time and help, I'll try to back up as much data as I can using Knoppix or a similar boot CD. Its amazing how quickly and without warning such problems can arise. Edit: On the bright side, my computer had been feeling a little sluggish. I suppose I needed an excuse to do a...

First of all, thanks a lot for your help, its greatly appreciated. I tried those and they did not work. There doesn't seem to be anything that I can interact with on the screen. Maybe its a problem with the hard drive? I shall try to download Maxtor's diagnostic utility and run that to see if...

I cannot get into safe mode. All the options lead to the same result; the Windows XP logo screen followed by the blackness.

Admittedly, its been a while since I downloaded a new video driver. Is there a way to install it without being able to get into windows?

Its a custom rig built in 2005 with an Abit AV8 motherboard and it doesn't have an onboard video setting that I can see in the BIOS. I'm also using a Nvidia GeForce 6600GT video card and I have Windows Update confirm with me before installing anything...haven't installed anything new in...

After 3 hours of running chkdsk /r, nothing changed. It said that it fixed one or more problems on the drive, but it did nothing to fix this one.

I'm running Windows XP 32-bit. It boots up and I get the screen that asks if I want to boot in as normal, as last good config, as safe modes, etc. All of these yield the same result: After the XP logo screen comes and goes, where there should be the blue login screen with all the usernames to...

We recently moved every computer in our house to wireless, but we don't have a wireless card (yet) for one of the desktops. Is there any way to connect to the internet via another computer, something I can do with an ethernet cable perhaps? The router is on a different floor and it would be...

Perfect, but they have the Computer Science major blanked out on schools, haha.

I'm trying to find a website that ranks Colleges based on certain majors/degrees, but I can't seem to find any! I want to major in computer science, but I don't know which colleges have a respectable CS offering. For example, University of California-Irvine is one of the best places to go in...

I know. Did you think that I could write that whole thing and think that? My point was that power consumption of systems isn't going to increase to levels where they will be consuming $150 worth of power every month. That just isn't going to happen, and if someone put out a product like that...

Good riddance ofcourse, but that would still be a nasty surprise if someone didn't check before buying.

Not being able to make any .exe work would take its toll on Linux.
