My PC won't play videos from the internet (YouTube, etc). I know it's not the videos because 1) it does it with every video I try to play and 2) I played the same video on a laptop that was here at the house and it played the exact same video my PC wouldn't. The videos load just fine. But when I go to watch them they only play for about 2 seconds then freeze. If I fast forward to a different spot in the video, it will resume playing for about 2 seconds then freeze again. I've cleared all of my cookies and everything since this has started happening with no change. Everything else seems to be working fine.....just won't play back any video. Any ideas ??

Hey yall. I'm looking for an external sound card for my laptop that can support 5.1 sound, but don't want to spend too much money. Was wondering if any of these are worth it and how different they'll sound (what justifies the cost difference?): http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Philips-Aurilium-P...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster...oQQcmdZViewItem or http://www.soundblaster.com/products/produ...4&product=10769

Started having some issues with my gpu recently... Randomly lock-ups, reboots, and BSODS.... tried everything under the sun software wise... Tried cleaning, adding more cooling, different slots to no avail... Current PC: Intel i7- 3930K 16GB ram Intel 160GB ssd Nvidia GTX 285 I think it's been about 3yrs since I had the card and think it's time to upgrade...

What should I look into? What are you guys using? Some help would be great... Budget is EXTREME top end being $525...... Thanks for any hel…

Does anyone quick scope in Modern Warfare 2? I've had an HD PVR for a while and decided I'd make a new youtube channel strictly for gameplay. Some things to expect include MW2 montages/clips, "let's plays" of Gears of War 2, Mario Kart 64, GoldenEye 64, Mario Tennis 64, and just about every other popular Nintendo 64 game. I already ordered a device for capturing the composite signal coming from the N64; for some reason the composite inputs on the Hauppauge don't work with any console earlier than PS2. Here's a video I made today to give you an idea of the kind of quality I'm working with. I would really appreciate a like/subscription. I will return the favor! Watch in 720…

I don't really know where to start with this one, so I'll start with the PC it's replacing. My current PC is an AMD Athlon XP 2500, 512 MB RAM, Biostar M7NCD Pro, and a Leadtek Winfast GeForce 6200. At least that's all the parts worth mentioning. I can't even remember when I bought it. The one to replace it is currently saved on my Newegg Wish List. You can find it here: New PC 2006 The processor, which isn't listed, is an Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 which I'm buying off Tigerdirect. So anyway, do you think I should go ahead with it all? Downgrade something, beef up something, wait for something new, or totally skimp on everything and use the extra money for a Magnum 15?

so i just got Fruity Loops 6 and i have been messing around with it. well i figured out how to make beats and stuff, i have a little beat going (just starting with some easy hip-hop beats for now). anyway, all it does is it makes a little like 3 second loop of the beat i made, and i am trying to make it keep going and i want to record a song, and mix different beats i've made. anyone know how to use Fruity Loops or know of any good forums i can go to?

Anybody pick up the new Jack Johnson "Sleep Through Static" album? Album is good but im disappointed in the recording. Everything else is recorded fine, its just I hear a dam Hissing and a few buzzing sounds. Either its their air conditioner and they forgot about it or its a tape hiss; or it could be their Solar Powered studio?. Anyone else experience the hissing sound too? I honestly dont think its my equipment.... i listened to a ripped version, FLAC version, iTunes version, and the actual CD. I hear it in all of them....

Is this possible to transfer/copy songs from an iPod to someone elses computer? We hooked the iPod up, iTunes opened, and we couldn't drag the files from the iPod into the library, desktop, etc. Couldn't copy the songs and paste them anywhere either. Remember, it's my iPod from my computer being hooked up to someone elses computer. Thanks for any info.

Alright so I've been playing this game... AWESOME btw.. ONE MAJOR ISSUE... The "Storm the Fort" mission will not play.. I can access and start any side missions but that one won't do anything when I hold R1 which should initiate the mission.. WTF is going on??? Anyone play it yet? Anyone have this problem??

I got the first one they put out last year ... was looking at the MB site at some vehicles ( ) and the newest version is Version 8 ... I bet it's a longshot ... but I'm wondering if anyone has the six versions in the middle that I'm missing. Guess this gives me an excuse to check the website more often.

Can anyone recommend the best deal on a card right now? I was going to build a PC again but hit one cheap on auction, has a built in 6150 that can't be great. Need a $50-100 PCI 16 card for it.

Hello Guys.. I just bought the Fi. ssd10 800w 1.5 ohms, Now is that ok to put into the logitech z-5500 Box with its amp that is rated at 200watt 8 ohms. Will this damage the new driver or the amp.. I would think it would be ok for the driver without blowing the sub. Just do you think the amp will be ok?

i am currently bored so i decided to do some stuff to my room. so i am just messing around and i decided i want accent lighting. i want to get some cathodes off oznium.com and somehow wire them up in my room to one switch if possible. i plan to hook up a rocker switch in my nightstand and wire all the cathodes up to that. i just need to know how i can power them. can i take a computer power supply and just lay that under my bed and run all the wires to that? thanks in advance for any replies
