Hi R1CH
When ever I play graphics intensive games, the computer either hangs or restarts. I used to run L4D, Halo and others fine. Other less intensive games work fine (i.e. Starcraft, Diablo2) and I can watch movies normally etc.. I don't think I have a problem with any of my hardware overheating, I have a couple fans and my case is partially open. I only had this problem when I added my old IDE HD to my PC. So yeah, I really think its either of my graphics card or power supply. Any ideas?
Based on your description, it's most likely your power supply not providing enough power for your GPU. Make sure you get a decent brand name PSU as generic PSUs ofter have very poor amperage and regulation.

hey Rich,need help here
this is basically some portforward stuff and before u ask me to go to portfoward site and learn ,hear my story
ok i have the same problem here,can only play 1v1 in SC bnet but i have NO problem playing with lots of people in counterstrike steam [i havent tried Dota].I used Linksys router in the past and now using Belkin,my modem ,Speedtouch didnt change since the day i use the internet.
So is my router or modem giving this problem? T_T
Depending on the type of NAT used by the router, it's entirely possible it implements NAT in such a way that only one connection at a time can be used on a single port. Verify your ports are forwarded properly, if it still occurs it's most likely a bad NAT implementation. Try with just the modem and see if that works.

Hey R1CH!, i have a problem with my 30'' monitor, i have the Nvidia9600 GSO video and it should support the bestest resolution for my monitor, but when I try to put up a nice res my PC keeps restarting after a while (30 mins to 1 hour), what could be the problem?..
Thanks in advance

Hey R1CH
Right now there are 40 people living on my campus and yet I am experiencing the same internet speeds that I get when there are two thousand people here. Furthermore it looks like I'm the only person on the internet on campus right now (as I can see everyone else)
How to I circumvent the bandwidth throttle that my college has?

Sorry I won't provide this kind of information, your connection is shaped for a reason. Move off campus if you need better Internet  .

Does it only happen on high resolutions? Sounds strange, could possibly be related to an overheating video card or underpowered PSU.

So that means there's an answer though right?

Not necessarily, depends entirely on their network architecture. If done properly, no.

Recently, usually after i unlock the computer, my keyboard starts to do weird things. Whenever i press E, my computer pops up, whenever i press m it switches to desktop and things like that. So basically i cant do anything until i log off and then log back on.
I'm running windows vista 64, thanks

Try hitting your Windows keys after unlocking, sounds like they are acting like they are stuck down.

Hey R1CH!
When I boot my Macbook into Backtrack off of a live cd it won't see the network card. What gives?

this is because your windows key is stuck, as in pressed down
make sure its not sticky or held down when you start up

This is still relevant =/
To update, I can run my computer for DAYS if all I run is itunes, aim, firefox, etc, but as soon as I run something like warcraft for more than 5 minutes, the comp freezes with a grinding noise. I've replaced the mother board, video card, run ram tests, replaced the sound card, reformated (twice), the only things that I haven't replaced/tested are the power supply and the processor
*edit*
which makes it seem obvious that I should replace those, but there's a lot of random crap plugged into the psu that makes it a more difficult swap out

Looks like I missed this, but I may as well toss out my question, just in case. :o
I recently reinstalled XP from a wiped hard drive (biggest pain in the ass ever - I wiped my drive before checking the condition of my disks, and they were all scratched up, so my install was just a tad bit broken, eventually managed to find a replacement CD and get it up and running), and almost everything is running in perfect condition now, but my internet connection.
Basically my connection before the wipe was great. I have Vuze running, be getting 1000 kb/s (depending on what I was downloading, of course), and Firefox would run flawlessly. The only thing I couldn't do while downloading was watch user streams, and even that I could do if I was willing to put up with some varying levels of lag.
Now that I have my computer up and running, my internet connection is noticeably slower. And I'm really not sure what I have to do. Whether I have to change some default settings, or reconfigure my router, or what. But now if I'm downloading with a torrent program, I rarely get above 300 kb/s, even on torrents that I had downloaded before and know are well seeded (I was downloading a large 100GB+ torrent before I wiped my drive, when there weren't many seeders, it took 5-6 days to download completely... and now it's estimated at taking 14 weeks), and if I am downloading while browsing the internet, pages take a noticeable few seconds to load. Most likely either your TCP settings need tweaking (RWIN and scaling) or you need the "10 half open connection" patch to be able to P2P effectively. www.speedtest.net is the only really reliable way of gauging your connection speed, P2P is very unreliable for speed testing.
I changed my connections from 10 to 100 with the patch, so hopefully that will help, but here's speed test results with uTorrent running, and then a test about 2 minutes later with it shut down.
uTorrent running with 30kb/s download and 100kb/s upload.
Taken two minutes later with uTorrent shut down.
Thanks for the help, btw. It's much appreciated.

Hey R1CH, is there any way of fixing Windows Vista so that it remembers the way you want it to show files in folders?

I totally was going to post something but i was going to see what the error it gave me was and apparently it fixed itself T.T

Hey R1CH, thanks for doing this, I hope you can answer my question as well ^^
i just recently got a used laptop from a friend who reformatted the thing with a Korean version of the XP OS so I can't understand some of the shit going on... I thought you might have a much better general knowledge of this kind of stuff...
If I remember correctly, he told me he partitioned two drives? So I have a C drive and a D drive and he told me to save all my shit in the D drive which is like 20 gigs whereas the C drive is 40 gigs. Im only used to using one local disk drive so i dont get wtf is going on. Everytime I try installing anything straight from the desktop it doesnt work, but if I put the setup files in my D drive it runs fine. Although it works, it's kind of a hassel because I dont see the significance of having split drives.. and my directories get all fucked up so half the time the programs dont work without me having to re-browse for the main folder. Is there some easier way to settle this WITHOUT having to reformat again?
Also, the same laptop wont fucking shut down sometimes (like at least 3/5 times). I dunno if this is the exact cause but everytime it failed to shut down, it tried ending a process called BTNHD.exe which seems to be a unique process only available on Fujitsu Lifebook notebooks. Could this possibly be the cause of it? Or are there more general issues with Windows not shutting down properly? To be more specific on how this thing behaves:
Scenario A: I click START> shut down> turn off (that red button, my labels might be wrong)
It ends the processs BTNHD.exe (ive tried ending the task immediately, and also letting it end automatically after going through that progress bar, same result) and nothing else happens. I try shutting down again and again and it doesn't do anything after that.
Scenario B: I do the same process of shutting it down, this time NO BTNHD.exe appears, but it gets stuck at the damn blue windows screen (not blue screen of death, im talking about like the welcome screen) and it says Windows is Shutting Down and it gets stuck there for hours...
Sorry if my problem isn't clear enough or too long, I usually try figuring it out myself on Google but none of the pages I looked at seemed to answer it precisely, and none of the methods seemed to work yet either. I'm hoping an expert like you can help out, thanks!

Does having lots of used space in your HD create slow loading times (I'm using Vista 64 bit)?
I used like 1.4tb out of 1.45tb, and my loading time has gotten much significantly slower. The 1tb is on an external hard disk. Is there any way to make my loading speed (start up) faster?
