Hi guys, A quick qs here. How many days will it take to get my Nvidia 8600 GT replaced? I mean the max and min no of days going by your personal experience would be helpful. The idle temp of the card is at 60 C. The fan, going by the naked eye is working very slowly and whenever I start any...

No I dont have any beep sound, I was referring to the general sound that my PC would make when started. I tried to reset my CMOS and it has added some more complexity. Now my PC is double booting whenever I start it up and goes on to the affore mentioned state after the 2nd boot. Did I...

Hey , Thanks for the suggestion. I do clean my Pc once in a while, but I only dust off w/o removing any components. Are you suggesting to remove all the components individually and the cables , clean them up and then reconnect again? In that case is it ok to remove the fan, heat sink and...

Can you guys look at the numbers in the attached pix of my 1st pic and tell me if these figures are ok or not ????

Speed on ftp is total crap. At torrents the speed fluctuates from 40-50 to 0. These days I am not able to download anything from rapidshare as the connection breaks before the dwnd completes and I have to restart it. I have also noticed it takes a long time 4-5 min to get connected to net...
