Happy B-Days!!!

The first thing to do when buying an eMachine is to replace the PSU. Any PC that uses the Bestec power supplies should have them replaced immediately. You can usually match up an eMachine motherboard with the original manufacturers matching motherboard and reload the OS without issue.

Clean the heatsink and CPU thoroughly with 99% Ispropyl alcohol and apply Arctic Silver 5. Download and install MobileMeter 0.3.1.0 to monitor the temps on a laptop. Here is the English version of the MobileMeter Read Me file. -
Survive an ice storm by lighting candles and sharing a bottle of whatever is handy while cuddling with your s/o. Sometimes it helps to share many bottles of whatever is available.

I bought my Epox 8KHA+ on ebay along with an AMD XP2400+ for less than $100. It's held up for 4 years even after the PSU caught fire. 414 Socket A mobos listed

We lucked out again. 1/4" of ice two days in a row then a dusting of snow. I prepared myself for another ice storm like we had in April of 2003. I bought plenty of canned goods and stocked the freezer. If we had a power outage the back porch can act as a freezer. I kept my grandmothers old gas 5 burner stove with large oven in the converted old store front. It is capable of maintaining warmth in this 20'x22' section of the house. No problem with ventilation. I have enough 12V motorcycle batteries to hook up to my UPS so I could get on the Internet for short periods if the phone lines didn't co

...."by The Time I Get To Phoenix".....
TheTerrorist_75 replied to irregularjoe's topic in Open Chat
We have a Winter Storm Warning and Hazardous Weather Outlook for our area until 7 PM tomorrow. Later tonight until 10 AM they say we will get an ice storm with 1/2" of ice accumulation. Downed trees and power lines expected. Once that goes through we are supposed to get 6-12" of snow on top. -

We're somewhat back to normal here. 29F and freezing rain this morning. Highs are supposed to start dropping to the teens this week. I like being back to normal. -

Headphone/headset Suggestions

I looked at them. Koss makes an inline volume control adapter. I'm considering them or Sennheiser HD435 I bought the Porta Pro. -
Significance Of Bin Files
TheTerrorist_75 replied to davidtayhs's topic in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP
Yes they can be deleted, but it is necessary to find out what put them there. It could be a version of Office, some other program or maybe trojan related. -
Pc Help Instruction Problem
TheTerrorist_75 replied to welshwolves's topic in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP
What operating system? Are you fully updated? What are you dong when this occurs? Have you installed any new programs just before this started occurring? This is usually caused by something other than bad memory. More information will be needed to track it down. -
I have been sorting through most of the reviews I can find. I am trying to buy a set of headphones or a headset to use on my computer plus my stereo. I don't use a microphone so that isn't very important. I don't worry about game sounds. I like to listen to my music (classic rock and blues rock) LOUD and would like it clear. The main problem is that my PC and stereo are about 6' from where I relax at when listening to my tunes. An inline volume control is a necessity because I hate getting up to mute the sound if my phones rings and I want to answer it. The phone is next to where I relax (sofa

I used to have a message rule setup that automatically replied to Fwd: emails. Fwd: emails are usually the ones that contain multiple addys. The gist of the reply message; I have lost friends and alienated relatives with this method, but my inbox has been clean from this type of junk for some time now. Now if I can only solve the image spam emails.

I just had a PM from Handplane. He is having a problem receiving PMs. Must be his inbox was overloaded.

Opera Cpu Usage Problem: Fixed:)
TheTerrorist_75 replied to rhema7's topic in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP
I have never tried that feature, nor would I allow it to install on previous versions. -
Because of my suppressed immune system due to my transplant I am supposed to be somewhat careful of germs. My doctors only suggestions were to get my flu shot yearly and pneumonia shot at the proper interval. The number one item on my list is to wash my hands with regular soap (not anti-bacterial) under tepid water after using the bathroom, handling raw foods, playing with any pets or making physical contact with sick people. They told me not to go overboard as to being a total health freak which could further depress my natural immune system.
