Ever since I upgraded my CPU from an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ to a 3200+, I've been having WoW crashes, and my dad has been crashing while playing Civ 3. The crashes have resultied in a number of error dialogues, the latest one being PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. After Googling the text ofthe error...

I mostly want them for games, I play dvd movies on my set-up upstairs.

Has anyone taken a good look at them? I only found one review at a Mac fansite, and the reviewer didn't hook it up to a computer. I know rear speakers would be better, but I can't wall-mount where I am, and the dog would nock over speaker stands without even trying. Not to mention he'd probably...

Follow up: turns out all I had to do was unplug it for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. It's worked fine since. This is aparently a known bug...

Yes, I still needed it. Thanks! :emoji_thumbsup:

I searched the AVS forum, and I couldn't find the thread. I used the search terms "Comcast," "6412," "iGuide," and "Motorola." I didn't find any 50+ post thread. Allan, could you like to it, please?

I just had this installed yesterday, and it's already giving me grief. I can watch it, switch between tuners, record two channels, etc., etc. But if I turn it off, then turn it back on again, there's no picture or sound. The TV guide graphics are there, and I can change the channels, but they're...

My main concern wasn't keeping the baby from pushing buttons. I was more worried about her getting tangled up in wires to the point where she would strangle herself. If we get a new tv (knock on wood), I'll try to talk everyone into getting (a) cabinets and (b) a HDTV Monitor in the primary...

My sister brings her daughter to my paren't house so that my dad can babysit (cheap). We need to get a stand for a TV that has no sharp corners, and we need to tie up cables and put them where the baby can't get to them. I'll probably have to hire a pro to get the cables out of the way, but does...

Brent, There's an area under the heatsink that looks like a small square. It's whiteish in color, not peach. But the lever on the side of the heatsink has a green "handle" that the other heatsink, also from AMD, doesn't have. So I'm not too worried about the color change. I'm more worried...

Duane, I was going off the instructions for the 2200+ that I already have, so I ripped open the 3200+ packaging. The instructions read pretty much the same. To quote: So it looks like ther's a thermal pad there alright. Like I said before, I'm not going to overclock. Even though I'm stuck...

I watched the guys building my computer use thermal paste on the AMD XP 2200+ that went in my computer. I'm about to put in a 3200+ all buy myself, but the instructions that came wit hthe CPU don't discuss applying thermal paste at all. Also, at AMD's website, this page has a movie that says...

The specs page for the memory module says that the Memory Timings are: 2-2-2-6. What does that mean? Oh, and Mike, can you link to the HardOCP page that has the review? I can't seem to find it...

I'm in the process of upgrading my system. I'm going to buy an AMD XP 3200+ for my Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe TO REPLACE THE 2200+ THAT'S IN THERE NOW, But eventually, I'm going to need lower-latency RAM. I've currently got 512 MB of RAM from Samsung. It was cheap (around $80) and all I could afford at...

Phil L said Ooooooooooh. Now that sounds like a plan! :emoji_thumbsup:

Justin, Mmmm. I hope it's not that. Then again, I do keep having to rebuild my RAID 1 array. I think I had to do it three times in the past week. I'm going to try flash updating the BIOS and see if that helps. Heh. I should probably also open the beast up and hit it with some compressed...

Oh, I forgot to mention. Somerimes the mouse doesn't light up at all when I boot up or reboot. Rebooting usually activates it, but that's another annoying problem that makews me want to trade it in for another one... :p)

I was looking at three different DVD dual layer burners, but from this thread, it looks like the NEC ND-3500a is the one I should consider. Oh, the readon I want a DVD burner is because my hard drives may or may not be failing, and I want to replace them and start over with Win XP Pro. Since...

Heh. I tried removing the drivers a few days ago. Didn't help. I'll probably just get a new mousepad, but I've got bigger problems right now. I think my Maxtor hard drives may or may not be about to fail. I'll reboot the computer and write down the serial number for the drive (I can't seem to...

Thanks for the help, everyone! The surface area might be part of the problem. I first tried the new mouse on the (glossy wood grain) desk area, and it was really jumpy then. I retrieved the old mouse pad from where I had thrown it, but it was still jumpy at that point. It's an old one my...

My old mouse was a MS basic mouse connected through the USB port. The left button stopped working on it, so I decided to buy a new mouse. Both are optical. I brought the new one home, unplugged the old one from the usb (while the computer was still on) and plugged in the new one. I think...

I installed and ran SE. I selected the options to "scan everything" and to list small problems(?). It may have gotten rid of some spyware, but it also deleted entire folders out of my IE favorites directory! The first time it did this, I was able to repair it by moving everything back out of...

I've heard good things about the Zalman headphones, but I also saw something called the I/O Magic "Sound Assault 5.1" headphones while I was at Micro Center. :confused: I could only find one review for these here. Barring any rave reviews from the audiophiles here, I'll probably just get...

Okay! I'll install it the next time I have some down time. :emoji_thumbsup: Oh, are the other two quotes traceable, or did someone get those wrong, too?

Actually, now that I think about it, I'll probably wait until ATI comes out with a driver that's (hopefully) 9.0c compatible. Or would that not be an issue?

That's nothing, compared to the first quote in my sig. :D

I'm suprised no one else has pointed this out. Microsoft has posted Direct X 9.0c on its Download Center here. It's not available at the Windows Update site (yet). I downloaded it myself, but I'm waiting to install it, because I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. You never know if something...

Whew! I wanted lots of advice, and I got it! Let's see now... My computer was built from parts, and the motherboard came with PC-cillin 2002. One of the guys said if it was two years old it had probably been cracked by hackers by now, but the other said it was better than nothing. So I'm...

The ancient anti-virus program that came with my computer has started hitting me up for money, so I'm looking to get a brand new one. I was told that McAfee was better than Norton, but I found some bad reviews on Pricegrabber. Is this a case of someone who doesn't like McAfee dumping bad reviews...

I've been having a problem with my current computer, and now I think that I need to change a setting for the two Maxtor S-ATA Hard Drives I have in a mirror array. Basically, I kept getting this error message during boot: Eventually, I entered the configuration menu and chose "Rebuild RAID...
