I noticed recently that in My Windows 7 Pro computer (my main machine) my Linksys router is showing up in Device Manager as a System Device? Not only the existance of the router, but the actual name I changed the router to a while back. I uninstalled it, and it seemed to affect nothing . . ...

I just had one that would start, shut off after about a second, then continue in that cycle. Computer is built around an Intel DQ67 board and an i5 processor. CPU fan was fine, as was the power supply. I disconnected the power, and reset the CMOS to no avail. On a whim I decided to hold the...

You are very welcome. Almost any DDR3 RAM that is 240pin NON-ECC Low Density should work in your motherboard. The only problem people generally run into is buying server RAM (ECC, sometimes High Density), which is attractive because it's often much cheaper, but generally doesn't work well or...

From what I've determined about your board, it should support either of those options. Go here: https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B85-G41-PC-Mate.html#down-manual and download the manual for the board. It's a handy PDF to have should other questions arise. Also on that support page is...

Old question, but if someone needs their old HP 2200c scanner to work, just use the XP 32bit driver as was suggested . . . but that will only work on Windows 7 32bit. In my case, all my PC's are now 64bit. So I use a virtual machine with a 32 bit version of windows. Works fine for me that...

I have the 840 EVO 250GB. Fix went without a hitch. Non destructive and took less than an hour. Tests show it has improved drive read speeds back to when it was new.

Congratulations to the winner! That's a heck of a card!

My build - nothing fancy, but it does what I need it too. Built around a P8P67 motherboard. i5 2400 CPU ASUS P8P67 3.0 motherboard 8 GB Patriot G2 RAM Radeon HD6850 video card 250 GB Samsung 840 EVO SATA III SSD (not shown in pic) 500 GB Seagate Barracuda SATA II hard drive 250 GB...

1) Of the two, I like the features of the ASUS board better. Seems to me to offer more bang for the buck. I admit to a preference for ASUS boards, because i have built several computers around them and never had an issue. I find them very easy to set up. I've also found ASUS boards easy to...

My sons got me a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB for my birthday, and it ROCKS! The Magician Software that comes with it is very good - expecially the RAPID (Real-time Accelerated Processing of I/O Data) module that allows the use of up to one gigabyte of system RAM to use as a high-speed cache. It more...

Little late for Dave_5280, but to anyone else who has this board . . . Just use the drivers for Vista on the ASUS site (64bit or 32bit, depending on your version of Win 7). They will work fine. You will notice two exclamation marks in device manager . . . they are the onboard game port and...

Hi! Sorry, I have been away for a while. As I said, the Windows 7 installation disk should provide most of the drivers that you need. As I recall (and it has been quite a while since I upgraded from XP) I only had an issue with the audio drivers. I believe all I had to do was download the...
