    GPU getting really hot

    adding another fan to your case isnt going to help your card all that much, it would improve it if your card was running at decent temps at least but that shouldn't be where your focusing attention. what i would suggest would be to re-thermal paste your card as step one and then step two use...

    System unstable with random freeze / BSOD after cold boot

    to me that sounds like a failing power-supply. just because if you have bad blocks of ram or mobo "generally speaking" your bsods wouldnt just go away. IF you have a failing capacitor in your psu then basically it could take a while to get the voltage it needs and could potentially not be giving...

    disk read error windows 7

    Disk read error generally is suppose to mean bad hard drive. But good news is I have worked on multiple machines where its just a connectivity error aka check your sata/ide cables/power cables on both the motherboard and the hard drive. "you will have to open the machine up to do that so If your...

    All lights on but Black Screen

    That most likely isnt the hard drive.. seeing as if it was you would at least see a post screen, the beeps sound like post beeps try actually resetting the cmos also. take out one ram stick and see if it runs with just one in if it doesnt try the other ram stick, this will give you a process of...

    [Now Solved]Some Strange problem with the Ethernet connection. (It's NOT THE ROUTER)

    It sounds like your being throttled by your internet company especially with those speeds. when ever iv seen that type of signal degradation its one of three things, faulty lan card "something to do with cashe on the lan card idk could be wrong on that" or throttling.

    My computer keeps turning on when I turn it off

    going off of what you have said, I would personally assume that its a power regulatory glitch in the mobo, assuming you havent switch your power switch cable with your reset cable. What I have done to fix computers with your issue in the past is power it off completely "unplug it" then open...

    Air cooler for AM3+ socket?

    Your options are kind of limited because the only fans/air coolers you can get for am3+ from what iv seen that you dont have to do anything like add a support plate to the back of the mobo or what have you, are the standard clip style am2 am3 am3+ fans. now i can tell you any AND I mean any fan...

    I need a wireless all in one printer with the cheapest ink ?

    Now there are two ways you can go on this. Option A. is the printer that is going to save you a lot of money on ink in the long run, while option b. is the printer that has the cheapest upfront cost. Right now the HP 8600 pro has some of the best ink efficiency at 2300 pages on the xl 950 black...

    GPU getting really hot

    Three things can immediately be done to improve cable management without much cost! First I would clean out the card even if it doesn't seem dusty on the fan blades could be full of dust on the intake or out take of the card. Second thing i would do is do your best to improve your cable...
