i have mcaffe installed and have done numerous virus scans and i have unticked all of the start up programs but it still has all these problems, what else should i try?

the thing is it was a custom built by arch tech but not to my specs so i have no idea how to find the hidden partition

thats a last resort as i dont have the original disks so id have to go out and buy a copy

I have been having quiet a few issues with my laptop recently, they are as follows 1, it is very slow i am running windows vista home premium with a 2.2ghz CPU and 1 GB ram i have tried every piece of speed up software i can find and yet nothing works i also went into msconfig and turned off...

thanks for the help everyone i changed the setting in the bios and it runs perfectly thanks so much :D

i am running xp professional sorry for got to mention

i have an old asus p5ad2-e premium lga 775 motherboard and a 40gb IDE hard drive recently i have purchased a new 500gb wd caviar black sata drive but when i put it in it just came up with the single 40gb drive and did not display or recognize the 500gb hard drive, what should i do? P.S i dont...

Thats good because one day i really want to do crossfire but i read somewhere that larger cards will bottleneck and i assumed the meant they dx11 cards so its good to know it will be fine thanks Why_Me :D

I just remembered will the Gigabyte ud4 be able to use 2 5850's in crossfire or will it bottleneck?

Ive been researching core i7 lga 1156 and i have found that the price jump is a lot larger over her between the core i5 and the i7 so i cant afford to splash out on one, so these are the things i think ill get ( all prices are in NZ dollars) Gigabyte P55-ud4 + core i5 + dominator 2x2gb ram...

so you think i should go with raid0 but make sure to back up all of my data regularly? Thanks for all the help everyone it is appreciated :)

in new zealand those 5870's are still like $600-$700 not to mention P&H

I like the 275 too but my only concern is they dont support dx10.1 they only support dx10 which to me seems like a backwards step

yeah but most of the data on my computer is either backed up or not very important and using quality drives like the caviar blacks should hopefully decrease the chance of failure, right?

I found a new mobo what do you think? GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD4 Its cheaper than the other one i had chosen and it is crossfire compatible
