It's not that, i basically have 2 days all to myself (not back to back), and about 1 hour 5 days a week after work. I work 54 hours a week, so a pre-built is probably the way to go. Less headache and I can relax if something goes wrong I call them up and get it replaced (with hopefully not sending in the whole computer and have to pay shipping cost which actually should be in their service/parts/warranty).

Well, I appreciate all the input you are giving me unnamed, but I think with the amount of time I have off work to build a computer and screw around with sending something back and getting a different one (if it happens), I am now looking at just buying a gaming pc instead of building one.
So now I'm trying to figure out which builder to go with. I heard good things about one, but can't remember the name, how much that helps me. Think it was Cyberpower.

Been looking for an HDD, but the ones from Seagate or WD that newegg sells seem to have issues.
What other manufacturers' HDD are good that I should look at, or can you recommend a HDD that newegg sells. Don't want to screw around with a third vendor.
I am on 2 cheap Seagates right now and have been running strong. 1 has been running for 9 years (80 gig, lol), and the other has been running for 4 years. No issues.
Have been looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … gnorebbr=1 , but it has had mixed reviews recently and dont want to take a plunge on something that may be DOA or dead in a few months.
E: Forgot about edit button. double post whoops.

Well at this point I'm just wondering if I am going to use an SSD now because I don't want to screw around with what I am finding. I'll more than likely be fine with just a hdd, so think I'll just wait on the ssd and do that later on because really, I just dont need it.
Just now noticed that. Good thing because I make sure to read reviews. Must of been in a drunken stupor whenever I added it.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Looking around on newegg for a different board and having a little issues finding one, at least an ASUS board, because I want the UEFI to easily set up, configure and get it going.
Don't have time to fart around in a bios and this will be my first build.
E: There is this one however. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6813132412
E2: Just read a review for W7 OEM that installing OS to SSD with UEFI out of the box is going to be a problem. Has anyone had that issue before or am I going to need to do some work to get it installed?
E3: Apparently E2 has to do with Skylake mobos?
E4: Think I'll just do this mbo. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6813128717 Still dont know how to tell what is/isnt Skylake.
Hey I'm going to be building a new PC, but I don't have the time anymore to keep up with the hub bub on new hardware coming out. So I was just curious if a few of you could take a look n see if there is a newer model of whatever I have or if I need to tweak it any.

Apparently all I had to do was tell flash to be in unprotected mode, and a few other people are having this issue too.
Whadafuc Firefox?
Whadafuc Firefox?
OS - Windows 7
Browser - Latest Firefox
Flash - Latest
As stated, I don't know what happened from earlier this evening, but for some reason I can't play flash animations/games, and more importantly, Pandora.
I have tried uninstalling using flash's uninstaller, restart, and reinstall. Did nothing.
Before this whole fiasco happened, it was up to date to the latest version.
Also when I used the uninstaller, I reopened Firefox plugins to see if it was still installed, and it said it had a NPSWF32.dll file is still there with flash still installed. After I restarted it said that file was still there, but when I did a search for it on my computer, nothing pops up. and the only help I can find with google is that I need to delete that file to make it work, but it isn't in the plugins folder like it should be and doing a search from the start menu shows nothing.
I don't know wtf happened to Firefox and flash after playing Blacklight Retribution for 2 hours, but is apparently not being happy right now.
Hopefully I dont have to uninstall firefox to try to figure out wtf is going on, buuuut.....
EDIT:
I have looked some more and found a thing about someone have the plugin-container.exe start when you go to a site that has a flash object, and it starts a bunch of them and crashes.
Well, I have the same thing, it starts about 5 different plugin-container.exe's and my mouse pointer has a little "thinking" circle, then they all disappear. However mine doesn't crash. Where the flash video/animation should be, its just a white box, no error or anything from Firefox either.

Well, I've done all that and it starts up and runs fine. One of these times I'll start it up with the speakers on again and see what happens, but its very weird.
I think it was probably luck of the draw because I looked this problem up. But it all seems that they had no luck getting it started up fine without repairing it or reinstalling windows back about 2010-11. So don't think this falls into that issue.

Just started my computer up and iit came up with the "starting windows" black screen with the flag, then after that it was just black with the pointer only. I had my speakers plugged in and after the black loading screen there was a 'crackle' noise then the black screen with pointer showed up.
Restarted and unplugged the speakers cuz I thought I had some sort of weird short maybe in the sound port? Started up fine, working now.
Thoughts on wtf happened?
Edit: Forgot: Windows 7

Duno where to post this, so I'll just post it here.
I've been getting an error that makes it impossible to get here. Something about needing to use a command to flush the dns.
Next time this happens is there a way to get in touch with chuy to fix it or am I just boned?
Also noticed the forums seem to be dying. There a place where I can go to ask my stupid computer ?s so I can get help easier?

I had a similar issue. My monitor would come on after comp loaded into windows, then it just goes blank while still saying its on.
Hooked up a diff monitor, same cable, same port, works fine. Monitor died.

Clear cache and ctrl+F5?
Don't think they will refuck it up because they will have to put out an OS that people in the office will have to upgrade to after win7 so a normal version of win is needed. However that could be on hold till win10, or still fuck up.
Well, ff i want to open on the main monitor all the time and not have to fart with that bit when I go looking for something and its on the wrong monitor. And I'd like it on the second, so when something comes up that sounds good I can write it down quick and keep going without alt-tabbing.
Could use ie too.

Not really a tech ?, more software, but what would you guys recommend for a second web browser besides chrome? I have Firefox already.
Just need something to sit on the second monitor and play pandora while I game. Could figure out how to setup seperate firefox profile or whatever I guess.
Reason for no chrome is because its 'updating' service strangles my cpu 60% of the time and don't think there's a way to force it off besides uninstall.

Thank you much sir.

Yea, though the way I did it in xp was way faster and easier and your idea won't work in most cases.
But I guess its just like mouse acceleration. I have no mouse acceleration besides a lil checkbox that does nothing at all in both the win7 mouse options along with my g600 software options.
Damn it all anyway.

Actually it would be scroll-back-up time.
It goes to the file I copied from the first window in the second window as well, so I gotta keep scrolling up to where the folders are.

I would like to have both open to the same folder so that I can paste into multiple folders like in the example if something needed to go to the widescreen folder it would be right there instead of having to back out of the current subfolder and get into the other.
No, its a folder of its own.
First time I saw it was 7 mins ago too.
Anyway, thats the issue. ^

'upload images' right there under the quick reply or whatever box.

Nonono. I'm copying files from the folder I'm in on both windows into subfolders on one window that I want to stop scrolling down automatically to the file I copied into the subfolder on the first window.
My bad, thought I was thorough

This really isn't a tech ? more of a win7 OS ?
Best way is can explain my ? is if I tell you what I'm doing first.
So in windows explorer
- go to a documents folder that is very full that the bottom is out of sight from the top.
- open a second explorer window that is open to the same folder contents.
- on the first window scroll down to a file (or create a file), and copy it.
- go back to the second window and find a folder (at the top) and paste it in there
What happens to me when I do that is the second window scrolls down to the file that I copied in the first window.
How do I make it so it doesn't keep scrolling down so that I have a window that stays at the top and one I move around to find the files that I want to put in the folders?
I've looked in the folder options in control panel but didn't see anything like that and don't know if it's some sort of 'named' feature that I need to find. It Bugs me.
(Just installed win7 this weekend so I'm a bit of a noob yet on the OS)

Logitech G600. Ol' G500 left click spazzing out.
Well 3/4 of the topic is about other mice, but went with the g600.
Kinda stupid posting it own thread but some stuff seems to get eaten in the 'open thread'.
So pretty much my current mouse's left click is dying, and the next one I want a mouse with a bunch of buttons for mmos among other things and either one has its nasty reviews so just asking if anyone can testify to either one being worth the $$.

I'm going to do a little upgrade for my vid card and having a little issues figuring out what would be better for a budget.
I'm looking at either a 460 gtx, 560, or 560 SE. Supposedly the SE is between the 560 and 560 Ti, but the price is lower than a 560. And where would a 460 match up in all this?
