Hello all, got my netbook today with windows 7 pre installed. If I boot it up from cold it normally goes to the loading bar and fails to boot. Then it reboots and offers the "safe mode/start windows normally" screen, so if I select start windows normally it again usually fails to boot. If I...

Hey all, trying to install microxp with daemontools (I dont have a dvd-rw). I mount the .iso file (extracted from the download) and it says it is a "picture" and pops up the autorun thingy where you choose what to do. How can I make it run the installer for microxp? Regards

Hey all, just got my a05 off ebay (mega props to mayhem for his help. Top man!) It arrived a virgin. Brand new condition basically. Those are some snaps mayhem took before shipping. And here is my rig: (the sharp eyed among you will spot the a05 carcass in the cupboard :P) Will...

Well, my return to OC3D.net lol. I bought this e6300 on another forum for real cheap. The guy had never overclocked it so I didnt really know what to expect. I reached 350fsb, and this thing just KEPT going. So far infact, I need new ram to be able to keep going...

I think it would be really cool if OC3D had a "Member Review" section of the forums, for people who have bought things to review them, as i personally value peoples own experiences over (no offence) website reviews. I might be mistaked, but i dont think there is such a forum here.

Hi guys, i am torn between two Lian Li cases. V600 A05 Both take atx mainboards, atx power supplies but are smaller than the average tower. They are both aluminium and would both suit going to lans. I am not sure if i will watercool, therefore the restricted height of the cpu cooler of the...

Hi guys, my pc, when powered on is making a really weird creaking noise. I have checked all my fans to ensure cables are kept far away. I sounds like a fan hitting a cable, but i cannot be sure. When i turn the case on its side to investigate the sound disapears. Sorry for my vague...

Hi guys, i just recently installed my new mobo, a Gigabyte GA-Q35M-S2 mobo, as i am planning to downsize to matx for lan partys. I picked the mobo because it has a q-series bearlake chip (i believe this it a p35?). I have looked around the bios, and I cannot find anything to adjust memory...

Hi guys, just wondering. Are any of us going to i34? I wouldent mind going, but i have never gone before, and I dont think i have the skills to hold my own. I was wondering (being the paranoid freak i am) what is there in the way of pc security? I am paranoid about my pc being stolen, or my...

Hi guys, i am getting a new mobo and am looking into how to install it without having to wipe my windows install? Is this possible? I really dont want to have to format, as in really really really dont want to. I hear if you run a repair install of windows you dont need to loose any data? If...
