*Turns up the fan. Computer flies up and smashes into ceiling, breaking into a hundred pieces*

Shall we play another round of building blocks sir?

Not mines O.o I don't have a laptop.  

This is where I work (and sleep) out of! Computer's that need work/fixing get to sit where the routers are.

Case: Silverstone FT02B.
CPU: E8400 @ Stock 3.0GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR2
Video: Radeon 4870 1 GB w/ Custom Cooler (Looks like this)
OS: Win 7 loaded onto my 120GB SSD

My next upgrade probably won't be for a while but I'm really hoping to get at least a quad monitor setup.  

LOL That router is the face of routers.

I have a spare WRT54G laying around.

My favorite router ever.  

I wish they made an N version of it. It's a WRT54GL flashed with CoovaAP for a hotspot product (thanks to Heroku and my Sinatra AAA server it'll cost nothing for us to host it) that I've been tasked with.

I just hate how it messes up the layout. Even if it did have an autoresizer, it doesn't actually resize the images. It just zooms them out when they're finished loading. They'd still be large files. Not saying I don't want an autoresizer, but the attachment is there and does all that for you, and makes small thumbnails so we can pick if we want to zoom in(while retaining your large files).

There are different ones that don't do it after it's loaded. I think there's actually a way to do it without any packages/modifications, in the vbulletin settings. I see it on every other vbulletin forum I frequent, though I don't know how they do it. None of them resize it after loading. Anyway, I'll use attachments for those pictures I posted before.  

I used to put ice packs under my laptop while I used it because I was too lazy to clean the fans...

-facepalm- And your laptop never died? Impressive...

But since this is a thread about computers, can anyone help me? I got a custom built PC in my computer room. Vista 7, about 28 out of 30 GBs used (not too sure about that and the specs), and a monitor. I've been leaving it be for about a year, occasionaly turning it on because i prefer my laptop. So anyway, it's been having problems. Numerous problems. The computer starts, then 30 seconds later it shuts down. When it does boot up, the monitor won't read it. Sometimes, it refuses to turn on. And it takes like 30 minutes just to shut down. I'll probably get a video out if I find my camera. But yeah, any help with this? Sorry it's so vague with the specs and the stuff, i can't remember them.  

My desktop is pretty beefy. It's quite old too

i7 950 overclocked to 3.6GHz
12GB DDR3 Ram tripple channel (i think it's at about 1800MHz+)
Radeon HD6970 graphics
Intel 160GB SSD Gen2

i7 980.

i7 2600k can't support triple channel memory

I would have preferred the new line of processors with the updated instruction set over the slight boost from triple-channel. I have triple channel memory but I would have gone the i7 2600k if it was out at the time.

This could be anything, the problem is very vague. Could just be a faulty video card. If you have it plugged into a dedicated video card try removing that card and using the onboard video(lots of Motherboards have one), or swap out another video card to see if that's the problem.  

My laptop beats all of yours, even Twinnys powerful desktop.
Intel Dual Core T2310 @ 1.46GHz
1916MB DDR2 RAM
SiS Mirage 3 Graphics
120GB Storage
just to top it off, the fans have failed twice so now to stop them failing, its in a broken plastic box (dont ask me how but the fans haven't failed since i put it in here).
