    Don't know what threat means

    Possibly the monitor is broken? try plugging it into an external monitor. Does the computer actually power on as if it was working? if not then the laptop may be completly gone

    Intel HDCP Cracked Using $350 Hardware Kit

    kinggremlinOf course there is. As was noted in the article by the developers of this, it has no practical use for pirates. Despite all the ROFLCOPTER $ony OWNED idiocy in the comments, this has nothing to do with copying Bluray movies. No one would use a method like this for copying movies...

    Can't decide on these builds.

    socket 1156 is dead and Amd is very good about providing upgrade paths in the future so i would save up more to get the AMD. The second build should work fine for what you want today but you should look towards what you'll want in the future.

    WoW keeps crashing to a single color, vertical lined screen.

    Are there any other problems with the system? Does it do this with other games, screw up when browsing the internet? If not reinstall wow, weird bugs happen after all. if that doesn't work or there are other problems reinstall windows from scratch and try it then. If its still messed up try an...

    Asus' Sabertooth P67 Mobo Has a Tactical Vest

    wotan31The idea isn't new. This is called ducting. It is used extensively in the computer world- just not at the consumer level. Think the 4+ Ghz POWER7 cpus in IBM mainframes. I wonder how effective this one is though, or if the design was dictated mostly by aesthetics. Likely aesthetics...

    AP Econ Project

    Why are ati 6000 cards so cheap?

    I have a proposal, we all take Aspirin/Tylenol/preferred painkiller for our headache. Then we find whoever at AMD who decided this was a good idea and.... (I shall let your imagination fill in the ellipses)

    Help me cut 40 dollars off this build.

    All right be nice to him, maybe he's married like so many of us and the wife set a strict limit of $750. ;) I felt the best place to cut cost was with the RAM. DDR3 1600 won't offer much extra performance over ddr3 1333, in fact there was an article here on toms a few months ago showing DDR3...

    Huntkey PC Chasis Offers Radiation Protection

    well i agree with all of the above about this "radiation protection" gimmick they have going. But i like how it looks, if they don't charge crazy amounts for it then i might get it

    No Access to back of motherboard - what HSF?

    Do not overclock further on the stock heatsink. in fact i already recomend an aftermarket cooler if you stay at that frequency. Scythe is a good company and i couldn't find any other products in a quick search that would work well. Just wait for newegg or another retailer you trust to stock it...

    Intel CEO: Things Need to Change in the U.S.

    2realAre you serious? What'd all those tax breaks Bush gave to the big companies do for the economy? It ruined it as you can see by the recession we have now. The move NEVER trickles down to the middle and lower classes. The people at the top just keep the money for themselves. If you can't see...
