Yeah, I definitely want to preserve it as much as possible in case I need it (like when the USB mouse battery dies or whatever). Thanks for the suggestions.

I've always had pretty bad nickel allergies and recently I started getting those familiar rashes on the palm of my hand. Sadly I narrowed the source down to my laptop touch pad, which has a thin metal strip around the edges. This has resulted in this: View: https://imgur.com/AvXZ3eo It has...

So I swapped the clickers (instead of replacing one). Figured that would kill 2 birds with one stone. The right clickers almost completely stopped working, as it fit in the board very loosely. The left one was fine, so it wasn't the clicker that was the problem afterall. So I went ahead and...

The clickers have 3 vertical pins on the bottom (like so: | | | ), which I just pushed through the board. It's a very firm connection, so I just kind of assumed it might be fine if I didn't solder it in place. (Honestly though, I was a little surprised it worked like that.) The clickers are...

I had to replace my Logitech M570's clickers (the built-in ones wear out very fast). I used a pair of Omron D2FC-F-7N clickers from a pack I ordered. This worked fine for about a week, then a strange issue cropped up: the right clicker, though physically unclicking on cue, started having a...

In the past I've had trouble with getting parts that fit together properly, so am hoping I will have better luck asking here from builders who are more knowledgeable. Currently running a 2.9 ghz dual core with GeForce GTX 560 Ti which are starting to show their age, and I'm looking to upgrade...

Alright, I ditched the old SB Live! card and went back to onboard sound (since that wasn't causing problems that I know of anyway). Now sound is working with full acceleration and my system seems stable with the new memory. I will report back if I get any freezes or not. If nothing else, at...

Thanks for checking back with this thread. I looked at the label on my RAM and it looks like the voltage required for them is 1.8v, and my board only provides 1.5v. As well, the computer was freezing at the desktop when I tried changing the timings. So I'm fairly certain this was the cause of...

Okay I think I understand about the SPD tab now. It shows certain speed configurations, but not necessarily what the settings are currently at (those would be shown in the Memory tab)? So I rebooted and checked in the BIOS, and all of the settings matched the 2nd column, which listed 533 at the...

I'm not sure what you mean with "patches for ram" but the BIOS version listed in CPU-Z matches the latest one on their website. I have been using CPU-Z but I really don't know what I'm looking at in the SPD tab. Both memory sticks have the same settings and from what I understand these are set...

Hi, and thanks for visiting yet another computer freezing thread. I tried to find threads regarding my particular problem, but none came up where freezing was occurring in the same situations. This will be a long post, and I thank you in advance for bearing with me. Since I replaced my old...
