This is going to sound dumb but here it goes

Can I re-install windows XP on a fresh(newly built) PC, or is it somehow 'bound' to my old hdd or something.

It doesn't really make sense I know, I'm just making sure I'm not missing something.

My Youtube videos appear as only black boxes. Using Firefox Nightly 15.0a1. I've tried disabling themes, disabling addons, updating flash, deleting cookies, updating the browser etc but nothing appears to work. When I right click the box it just says "movie not loaded...", there's no option for settings or anything.

If you want things to work smoothly don't use an Alpha build.

[Zezibesh]

It's the first issue I've had with it.

I'd like to buy a new monitor. 22"+, maybe even 24". I'd like it to be 16:10, minimum of 1920x1200, any suggestions?

Here's a tough one:

I have a G245H LCD Monitor. Does it have built in stereo like some sources tell me? Because I can't get it to work for the life of me.

Okay, looks like only the flash player on youtube doesn't work. My browser plays .swf files fine and the html5 video player also works.

I personally think Razer is mostly overpriced ricer shit and I've had only bad experiences, but in this case I'd definitely go with the Black Widow (mechanical keys) and the mouse is mostly down to preference. I'd pick the G700 because it's more comfortable for me to use and there's more buttons (although I have no idea if I was able to use all of those).

[Crest]

Do they make a G700 with a wire (designed to be wired not like the current G700), or like a G900 with more buttons?

Razer Deathadder
CM Storm Quickfire Rapid

[KeX194]

I recently upgraded to a 3570k with a CM 212 Evo cooler and Asus P8Z77-M motherboard.

Now whenever i start the system, right after the POST Beep it does two more beeps and than shows a message that theres a "CPU Fan error press F1 to run setup".
After i press F1 it shows me the BIOS screen with all the coolers i have connected to the motherboard, including the CPU cooler which is running at around 550-600 RPM.

I can still boot up without any problems and i get normal CPU temperatures ~30 idle and 40-50 on load (not overclocked yet).

Its not that big of a problem but the beeping kinda bothers me, anyone knows how to get rid of it?

[PyroCF]

Man, now I've just seen some corsair stuff that goes nicely along with my case. Dammit!

It depends. If it's an OEM version of XP, then the activation is bound to the first [i]motherboard[/i] you installed it on. But you can usually do activation by phone and just tell them you upgraded your computer. If it's retail, you have nothing to worry about.

I'm a very active Dropbox user though, and I'm practically pissing files, so an activity check probably wasn't the reason

You have to go into the upload file dialogue (I didn't actually select or upload any files) and then I got an email and my 23GB of space!

Wow, 33GB of space. What do I do with it?

There are better ones that you can pay for that can do things like move unmovable system files like the page file, but you're probably using the best free one. Maybe try Defraggler.

[ShaunOfTheLive]

I like MyDefrag. It doesn't defrag the page file though.

[Pugsworth]

I like SmartDefrag.

If it's a Seasonic you should be alright. Just about anything else and I'd suggest at least 350-400

I recently got a new screen for my PC, it's a 35 or so inch sony bravia TV (one of those 3D ones too). My question is if it's normal that my resolution is still at 1920x1080, should it be higher or is that it for TVs because this thing is really big, everything looks fine but I want to know if 35 inch screens should be at this resolution
