You could uninstall programs that have been installed for monitoring. To really help you, we'd need to know exactly what's been set up.
-
Check it's enabled in the bios, and you have selected the right one of AC'97 or HD audio. Try plugging in each one and changing the bios accordingly.

No need to bump your thread on this forum. A lot of screen sizes support 1080, are you lookingat 21" or 24", for example?
-
Oh and they offer downgrade support to '20, which is just stupid.
-
Also for more security and updates, I would suggest installing the SP3 for Windows XP.
To be honest, I'd urge anyone still on XP to move to 7 ASAP. I mean, seriously? A 10 year old OS who's last update was 3 years ago? That just screams insecurity and outdatedness..

In my opinion & experience, unless there's a specific reason you should use a registry cleaner, you don't need to use one. If you feel you must, like Jeremy suggested CCleaner would be fine, but don't go for anything that isn't a trusted brand. They are much more likely to mess up your computer than to actually do anything.

Ok, NOW it is REALLY done: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=13328589
What do you think now?
The 212Evo comes with thermal paste preapplied, there is no real need to spend $13 on some more. Just a note that the mouse is out of stock. Personally I'd bump up the monitor to 22" or 23", but if your budget does not allow that and you are happy with a 21.5" then by all means it's still great. I'm wary of the open box nature of the motherboard:
Newegg only guarantees your receipt of the Open Box product with the purchase of this item. Any accessories MAY OR MAY NOT be included. Newegg will NOT send you any missing accessories' date=' even if it is required to use all of the item's functions.[/b']An new one of the same motherboard is only $10 more, so get that instead.

Sometimes you really have to force the RAM in to place. Are the hooks, for want of a better word, holding on to the ram at the ends of the sticks?
-
Actually, I'll just ask elsewhere, cuz no one has yet to give me a build..
I'm very happy to help, but you're changing your timescale around quite a bit. First one year, now 2 months. It's better to plan builds within the week you're buying them, not the month or year, otherwise stuff just gets outdated.
-
If you're going to buy this in 1 year, don't bother looking up for parts now. Things are being released very soon (AMD 7000 series and IVB) which will change what is offered and change prices around. Things, while they will still be good, will be out of date in 1 year from now, so just post again in a year.
How soon are these going to be released and prices change? I'm planning on building one around Christmas (sorry to hijack thread, but it'll help you too :P)
AMD 7000 is Late Q4'11/early Q1'12. Ivy bridge is Q1/Q2 '12.

It's got no dedicated graphics ard, but you could add one in. The best option is always building a computer yourself

Okay... Where are the two people above me seeing AGP in this mess? :blink:
~D. V. "A bit confused here..." Devnull
By looking at specs...
-
You would benefit from a new graphics card, but you have AGP on your motherboard so there aren't many available, let alone any good ones, plus none will be affordable. Next upgrade you make will have to be a full rebuild.

Does anyone know of any good UK hosts that offer SSH & FTP access? Access to a preview server would be nice too. I'm currently hosting a server off my VPS, but the ping on it's terrible: ~200-300ms at the best of times, plus a lot of jutter and slow spikes.
www.gamehosting.co.uk
They offer VPS's, but also FTP hosting which I use which is 8 slots with 1GB RAM and shared CPU/HDD (you get 1 core of a xeon, don't recall which model, and ~10GB RAM) for 6 quid a month, 60 quid a year depending on subscription. Really nice deal, nice and quick. Customer service is also ace, so if you have any questions their guy replies within like a day.

Not amazingly, but really there's only one way to find out.
Not even this computer can run RS well?
Its specs aren't particularly amazing.

A good place to start is from scratch. Take out all extra components, everything but the bare minimum. Take out all the ram, remove the video card, any cables leading to other peripherals or components. All you should have is the motherboard, a CPU with a working heatsink+fan, and the PSU, and of course the monitor keyboard and mouse. Check are all the fans running at maximum speed when you try to boot?
I've solved a lot of headache producing problems starting from scratch and adding a since component at a time to pin point the problem. Also could be the case short-circuiting the board, but that's rare. You should try taking out the mobo and testing outside of case if all else fails.
This sounds good. I would just go full out and take the case out of the equation completely, run the motherboard on a piece of foam that came with it or something. Did you install the headers and such? Is the CPU power plugged in?
-
To get the OS onto the SSD you need to reinstall it, although I guess you could image it over. The absolute first thing you should do is get a dedicated graphics card.
-
Prebuilts are pretty much invariably more expensive. This is especially true for large-name brands such as Lenovo, less so for smaller brands but the point definitely still stands. Even the combo your linked on the other thread (here) is better in some regards (dedicated graphics card, apart from anything else). You wanted it for gaming, and I can tell you that you're not going to be doing a lot of gaming on Intel HD2000 graphics, let alone CAD. You could even build the prebuilt with the same specs and get a good motherboard + power supply out of it for the same or less.
To transfer data, unscrew and unplug the hard drive from your laptop and plug it into your desktop using SATA cables + power cables. That thing you linked will give you access to the drive in a different way, but with the same effect (apart from lower transfer rates) than attaching it through SATA).

First and foremost, that belief stems from the fact that the Government have no right to tell you what you can, and cannot do with your body, provided what you do does not infringe on other people's basic human rights.
Am I asking all drugs to be legalized? Not at all. But it doesn't hurt to take a look at the impact of other drugs on society, and think of whether the role they hold is right.
That appears to me to be a direct contradiction.
Marijuana should be legal, but treated like alcohol is. If you get caught smoking and driving, you get a DWH (Driving While High), you go to jail for a certain time with a fine.
I saw a post on r/trees a while ago, and one of the main problems with this is that it's not actually particularly easy to have a 'Breathalyzer' type thing for Marijuana, unlike alcohol. On a slightly unrelated point, I think one of the other reasons the US govt has a problem is because they've gone through various countries burning plants such as marijuana to stop supply to the US.

In short, yes. Your graphics card isn't good and nor is your CPU, to put it bluntly.
-
They are all the same. Best buy may well overcharge you though, check prices online before you go to best buy.

Sandy bridge is the new 32nm architecture, noted i7-xxxx. Lynnfield is i7-8xx 45nm architecture. Gulftown is the i7-xxx hexacore processors. Bloomfield is the i7-9xx 45nm architecture. This is all on google/wikipedia.
