I have speakers from different rooms connected to an av splitter (which is connected to an av reciever). My room is the only room where the speakers have no bass. I need help on finding out why because it they where working fine a 2 days ago. Maybe it has something to do with the subwoofer.

My Vengeance RGB Pro DRAM doesn't show up in the iCUE software, so my ram is "stuck" on the rainbow mode which ruins my color sheme. I've read that i had to enable the SPD write option in the bios but there is no such option to be found. I updated the BIOS to make sure that i was up to date but...

I plan on upgrading my PC with a new motherboard so I can upgrade my CPU. But I've been seeing warning messages about how certain motherboards needs a BIOS update to make more current gen CPUs run smoother. I need to know if my selections will run without a bios update or not. And if it does...

Hi all, I recently bought a macbook pro 2011 with the quad core i7 and I love most things about it but the biggest bummer is the speakers. When it boots, only the right speaker works and they are not at all shown in the OS. The only available output is the digital out so I thought it was and...

CPU staying close to 100% but it has to be running cooler than before I upgraded from 4gb to 8gb you can hear it more or less unless it was something else heating up with it that has been helped make any sense of that.
