We have one of these in here right now and I must say they look real nice. If you want a pre-built gaming system they aren't to shabby. I know you could get alot more for the money by doing your own, but if you wanted something already done I would go with one of these.

I was going through sample questions for A+, A+ OS, and Network + and noticed a lot pertain to Windows 2000 and below. Not only does it seem like they didn't update the questions, but I think things have changed toward managing and supporting computer systems in a different way. A lot of it is...

I pulled out the soon to be heart of my upcoming arcade cab out of storage only to find it wouldn't boot. I got the flashlight out and found about 6 corroded capacitors at least one of which was bulging. The good news, the remaining PCs are both candidates for WIN7. Just gotta spec out the...

Interesting article on Ron Wayne, who was an original founder of Apple along with Jobs and Woz. He had a 10% stake in the company, then two weeks later pulled out because he didn't know if he could take the risk. He was paid $1,500 dollars to pull out, but would be worth $23 Billion today. He...

So I got a new computer a couple of weeks ago and it has Windows 7 on it. If anyone uses windows 7, I have two questions: 1) How do I clear the history? 2) How do I start an user account that requires a password to log into windows? I will keep this thread open as I am sure to have more...

As I was watching this I was thinking it's probably amazing for her to see something like this. Who would had thought that we would had come this far in her lifetime.

Seems kinda interesting to maintain all your passwords. Just wondering if anyone has ever used it before? https://lastpass.com/

Here is the newest computer on the shelf someone brought in for us to laugh at, I mean work on: "Setup Competitors  email" - WE ARE NOT Competitors....CALL THEM FGTS! "also got message operating system not found" - Um, you need a system that works before we can do anything else. It's either...

I worked on a computer last week. The lady's husband picked it up and took it home. While he was carrying it the front popped off and he then dropped it on is foot. The cables for power and leds came off the board so I told them to bring it back in to reconnect them.

You do not need to use and entire tube of thermal paste on your CPU. So much that it seeps down under the cpu itself and into the socket. Especially thermal paste that is conductive. Great job! :fserna:

So my wife was telling me about the a coworker's fiasco with their computer.  They had company over for the weekend who commented that the internet was slow and offered to check it out.  With good intentions, they found some viruses and malware and thought they removed it all. Shortly after...

I worked on a computer for this lady this week which would not shut down properly, ran slow, and other such problems. She stopped in today to see if was done. I talked with her up front and explained that I had problems adding memory to it and it was blue screening even after a clean install...

Why do a majority of customers, when needing a reload of their operating system, never have the disks for their programs and/or their resource disks? We see it all too often and this is the most common response from the customer: "you installed it and you have the disk" Seriously, WE DO NOT...
