let the re-drawing begin

Put me in the contest Nate! Its been great watching you guys grow over the years. Made me nostalgic to read the history behind LR and remember how i first discovered your site. Seems like it was yesterday but it has already been a decade. I cant believe it.

Hey everyone! I am trying to watch the olympics through an official stream on NBC website. The issue is that even though i have a 20 mbps connection, the stream lags (especially if I put it to 1080p or even 720p). What i was wondering is if some type of software existed that delayed an incoming stre...

Sad day for gamers and the industry.

Count me in.

I've been reading the site every week, just never log in.

my advice:

cancel cable.
cancel netflix.
cancel hulu plus.

Nothing to watch on cable but commercials.
Netflix movie selection SUCKS.
hulu isnt much better.

read books i guess.

okay so stop supporting devs who do crappy console ports... and dont pirate games. Buy games like Battlefield 3, and Arma 3 when they come out to support hardcore pc gaming. I know i will.

Thanks Major A. We are looking as lowend as it gets for the 5xxx radeons. Plug and play, no power connectors will be required.

looks lik the same pc. So does this mean the 5xxx cards will work?

My brother has a pc at work. The only thing i know about is that it has the asustek 2a73h motherboard. I looked online for a good half hour and cannot find the specifications for this product (pc is prolly old since its in an office). He wants to run multiple monitors and therefore needs a to buy a ...

just to give an update... I did not have time to test the psu with a voltmeter (holidays, etc..). But my brother was buying a new pc. We swapped the PSUs.... (new one from newegg).. And - Nothing. Same deal. So i remembered reading somewhere that the 3v round battery in the motherboard could cause p...

If i knew what i was doing i wouldnt be on the forums asking for help. Thanks for the article ill give it a glance. Im in no rush so i can take the time to learn whatever i need to learn, but i do not have money for a PSU tester. PS: I may consider video taping my efforts so in case something goes h...

in that case i just need to find out this. After i bridge green + black and put the power on... Where exactly do i put the 2 rods from the volt-meter to test each wire's voltage? Ill wear gloves so no worries there, just not sure how to proceed. Obviously 1 rod must go into the wire being tested. Bu...

i know where to put a paperclip. The instructions you provided says that you need to have the psu plugged into a fan before you can go through testing it. which connector do i used to connect my fan to the psu given the one i have? (as is evident in the picture). Or are you suggesting to just bridge...

okay so i took a look at the 2 videos. I dont have a tester so only the first one was relevant. However i ran into a major problem... My connectors on the Fan as well as the PSU are completely different. The psu has black connectors, the fan has a solid white one. I took a pic of both. I do NOT have...

Thank you for the guidance so far. I will look into how to test the psu based on the information you guys provided and report back with the results in the next 1-2 days.

Still have to do all of that xmas shopping !

My video card is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131339 . I also think that the connector is for the fan, but since the card is passively cooled they didnt include it. (b/c it actually has no fan). -I cant check cpu temps in bios because bios doesnt start up. All i get...

My desktop stopped working a while ago and i think its about time i fixed it. Symptoms: Computer turns on and shuts off. Sometimes computer turns on and stays on, however the monitor says its not getting a signal and defaults to power saving mode. I bought a new video card (one of the low end passiv...

so what kind of a replacement cpu fan should i buy for my pc? i will be ordering tonight.

Hopefully GPU is whats faulty, but like i said before the cpu fan need replacement also. It has an untimely death.

its not a new computer. I have had it for over a year.

What do you mean by post? The monitor displays only 1 thing: that it is entering power saving mode. Thats it. Nothing at all coming from the computer.... Till it shuts off.
