There's to ways to go about this. One is to boot into safe mode, then run a scan from a portable antivirus on a USB key or CD.

Alternatively, you could booting into a Live CD with antivirus tools.

I'm using a DJing program I just installed called Traktor. My problem is that it wont make any sound at all but my computer isn't having problems making sound with any other program. I have no idea why this is happening. It might be something wrong with my soundcard, I dunno.
Please Help /india/, I want to start DJ'ing soon.

Some popup box came up (I vaguely believe it had some yellow icon on it) while I was on internet explorer.

I had firefox, a word document and a folder open as well.

The thing is, I accidently pressed enter while I was typing something and it pressed the default for that popup!

What did you popup say?
how can I find out!

>>	Matsyavataram 10/03/13(Sat)07:45 No. 9300 I'm pretty sure you cant.

Just posting what I put together on Newegg, I've always got this, i can't think of the word right now, but feeling, i guess, that i'm either a) buying a shitty part, b) buying two good parts that dont have very good synergy together, or c)not buying compatible parts.

I've made a few adjustments;

after having the fact that my mobo has an unwanted integrated graphics, pointed out to me; I picked a new one out (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136058)

also I picked out a new case, but I don't think that is to very important to post.

Also, I ditched that fan+heatsink for this: (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181010)

Also upgraded my PSU for a few more watts (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371009)

>>	longshanks 10/03/12(Fri)20:22 No. 9298 It's fine so stop asking questions. Just go with it, and let your personal experience learned from this system guide you into building futuer ones.

Ok So I got myself an IDE/SATA USB cable, but windows 7 wont recognize any of the HD's I connect.

When I plugged in the USB wire alone, it said device installed successfully, but when I plug in the power wire to the HD and attach the IDE jack to the HD nothing happens.

I've already configured the Jumpers on the two IDE drives for cable select settings as directed by the HD's itself,

I'm gonna try it on my XP machine tommorrow and post my results then to see if it's just 7 related.

Pic is basically what i got.

I've been having a problem with a high pitched sound emitting from my PSU and, well, it's starting to drive me insane. I took a tip and installed SpeedFan, and I'm getting these readings:
Vcore1: 1.26V
Vcore2: 0.00V
+3.3V: 3.33V
+5V: 4.95V
+12V: 12.80V
-12V: -8.82V
-5V: -8.78V
+5V: 4.95V
Vbat: 3.28V
Now, I know close to nothing when it comes to PSUs, but that +12V rail really doesn't look normal. Any way to fix this (and hopefully fix the noise)?
PSU is a Cooler Master Elite Power 460W

Matsyavataram 10/03/02(Tue)22:56 No. 9270

You running your system off a UPS by chance, OP? If so, does it quit if it's plugged straight into the wall outlet?

Something's telling me that the PSU itself has problems if those SpeedFan numbers are accurate, but it never hurts to rule out PSU whine from a choppy UPS inverter.

Matsyavataram 10/03/03(Wed)09:29 No. 9272

Not using a UPS, thanks for the idea though.
Using Knoppix the noise is pretty much gone, but it occasionally starts up for a minute or so and is LOUD.
I mean, it sounds like it might explode, or catch aflame.
Sooooo, if I RMA it, do I have to pay like $15 shipping back?
Might just effing buy a new one.

>>	Matsyavataram 10/03/09(Tue)14:48 No. 9289 Using a tripping program that fully utilizes my CPU and graphics card, the voltage is 12.74V hmmm there's still a whine though

For some reason in my apartment I can't connect to the 99chan irc network. I don't think it's ever worked in the past 6 months I've lived in this apartment, but it worked on the same computers when I lived somewhere else. It still doesn't work on my laptop even after reformatting and installing a different OS. My roommate says he CAN connect, on the same internet connection but different ethernet outlet. I have no fucking idea what this could be. Please help me.

>>	Matsyavataram 10/03/07(Sun)09:48 No. 9283 Yeah, it worked perfectly. 36 packets transmitted, 36 received, 0% packet loss, time 35057ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 71.567/83.145/97.566/6.386 ms

>>	Matsyavataram 10/03/08(Mon)04:54 No. 9287 Do you have windows firewall enabled? You might have to add the IRC client your using to the exceptions list, as well as the ports. Do the same for your router if you have one.

Matsyavataram 10/03/08(Mon)11:11 No. 9288

>>9287
I'm using ubuntu. I have a router, but when I just plug it straight into the ethernet port it doesn't work either. Awhile ago I messed with the settings and tried to open all the ports etc. to no avail.

The only thing I think this could be is that my ISP or apartment complex has somehow blocked IRC.
