  1. First, my sound does not work. I have Realtek high definition Audio, but there if a ATI HDMI audio also. The problem i'm having is that it does not seem to recognize the Realtek audio, which is the one i want. When i got to my volume control. it tells me that there is to mixer installed. and when i go to the Realtek audio properties there is nothing is says:

    Driver provider: Unknown,

    Driver date Not available,

    Driver Version: not available,

    Driver Signer: not digitally signed.

    There is also a Gigabyte tech. sound manager. sound does play when i test it though that.

    My bro looked at it and he got stumped only thing he could think of is to try and update everything as much as i can. I will be doing that once i am done here.

    I need some help here, im trying to play Doom 3 and it is not scary with out sound. I need sound.

  2. Now that i have bought a DVI cable i can connect my PC to my TV. Heres the problem i cannot get the right screen  resolution with it. Down below is a pic of what i mean. I have a 53inch projection tv with a DVI input. My PC has a HDMI ouput that came with a HDMI to DVI adaptor. I have tried all the settings on the ATI catalyst control center(if you know what i mean). This is the best ive got it but it still cuts a lot of.

    I dont know if this matters but i bought a 18 pin DVI cable, There was a 24 pin cable, but that was more expensive.

    What are your thought abouts this?

  3. hey ningageek how do you get the front screen and knob to work? and there is a input and output power connectors, what do they do?

    I thought about dling kubuntu but i decided that i want windows becuase more things are compatible with it. I also thought of doing a dual boot with those two, but i figure im only going to use windows anyway.

  4. Hey guys, I got all my stuff on thursday. I got it all put together and working, it was so easy. The only hard part was figuring out where to plug everything in at.I still need a OS, but i have wait a week for my brother to get back from vacation so i can use one of his. Im thinking about taking a hard drive out of a different computer and sticking that one in there to make sure everything works smoothly.

    Heres some pics of it.

  5. Ok I think this is my final list, hopefully.

    All for $500,  Its a little more than i thought but i think its worth it. I ended up going to 2-1GB of memory, it was less expensive to buy 2 than just 1. Can someone make sure that the memory will work with the MB. I couldn't find a memory compatibility sheet for it. 

    My brother has a copy with windows XP that should work.

  6. I was reading through the forums and i saw that a lot of you guys build your own computers and an i idea popped into my head and i thought I could build one too. so i searched around and found these, which i thought would make a pretty good computer. I just need your guys help with it. heres what i found so far:

    what do you guys think. all for only $430. I got to make sure it will all work together. And that i have everything to make it run. I dont know much, but i believe i can do it. The only thing im worried about is the software. Will all of it just work right away or will i have to install this stuff. My brother know more about computers so im sure he'll be helping me.

    I plan to upgrade even more in the future, like getting a good video card. I really want to be able to run it though my tv (hopefully in HD).

    I could use any advice you guys have.

  7. hey guys,

    I've been having some trouble in converting wma files into mp3. Every program i try can't do it. It seem like the wma files are protected in some way. I want all my songs in mp3 because thats what all my players use such as my car cd player and my PS3. What can i do about this? what program will convert them?

  8. Its all about your own opinion. I personally like windows because that what ive always used, and I always had trouble with mac becuase i couldnt do anything with it. but if you know how to use macs then use it.

    I dont even know where i could get a mac, i never see them in stores. Plus i like how you can upgrade pc more easily.

  9. I just restarted my laptop, and it seem to work now. Thx swimmer, for the help, but i just paniced a little thinking that my laptop was going to be useless without a cd-rom drive.

  10. My cd-rom doesnt seem to work. It does not reconize any cd that i put in it. I can here the cd spin right away put then it does nothing. I think it might have something to do with when i drop my laptop. Earlier my laptop fell off my bed. right onto the side with the cd-rom.

    anyone know what happened?

  11. I just watched it and i thought it was pretty good. Yeah, there is a lot of slow parts, but i think that make you need some of that because what would spiderman be fighting for? There would be no spiderman movie with out MJ. The ending was pretty good, a lot of action. Cant wait for spiderman 4, 5, and 6.

  12. I think that there is just to many variables and im pretty sure its illegal to do it. I'll wait a while and see if i like vista on this desktop first. than i might go the legal way and buy a version of vista later on. My laptop only has 512 mb ram so im pretty sure vista would just slow it way down. Im not a kind of guy that likes to wait more than a few seconds for something to load.

    I just wanted to know if it would be simple but i dont think it will be. This is my parents new desktop that they bought for $400. its a really nice pc, 120gb. 512mb ram, dvd/cd/lightscride burner, 17inch flat screen. compaq presario. I think its a really good buy.
