I have a PS3 Slim and I'm trying to get 5.1 output off it. It has a SPDIF optical out. I have tow 5.1 speaker sets - one with audio jack inputs and the other with RCA inputs. Does anyone know if I can get a converter which takes in SPDIF input and has ouputs for audio jack/RCA? I asked around in...

I too got a PS3 Slim from US. In the PS3 manual, there is no mention of support for 220v. So I bought a stepdown adaptor and plugged it in and the PS3 wouldn't start. It would start, beep and then turn to red. The problem was the bloody adaptor was rated for 175W, but the PS3 consumes around...

Anything is fine. My friend is going to buy both CPU and Motherboard.

Thanks for all your replies. The board is not for me. One of my friends is looking for a cheap upgrade from Athlon 2000+.

I'm looking for a budget motherboard for AMD 64 3200+, as in at the cheapest cost possible. Any suggestions on which one to go for? I'm looking to buy it in Hyderabad.

Yikes! that is pricey. Anyway, for now I'm gonna try and see if I can oil the fan. I'll have to wait for someone to return to India to get the Zalman heat sink.

How big is the heat sink?. Right now my graphics card passes right over one corner of the chip fan. Will heat sink fit in? I'll have to take a tape and measure the clearance :)

Off late, my A8N-E mobo chipset has been behaving strangely. Every now and then when I boot up, the BIOS warns me that chip fan speed is too low. And sometimes the fan makes hell lot of noise. The fan speed is always at 5800+ rpm. I think the fan is dying and am thinking of replacing it. What...

Thanks guys. I didn't know they can be got for Rs. 250. May be I'll go for them.

I want to buy a digital multimeter. Not too pricey. Around Rs. 500-700. Also, where can I get them in Chennai?

When I bought the system about an year ago, I skimped on the PSU. The wattage is there (500W), but the quality, I guess I got what I paid for. If I'm sure that it is a SMPS problem, I'll buy a new, good quality one. I'll have to check the voltages once I reach home.

The problem is, the fan speed is varying very rapidly. It dips to zero and again rises. Also the cpu and mobo temperatures are normal. I have the stock configuration only and haven't oc'ed anything. The system was working perfectly till last week and all of a sudden I'm having this problem.

I'm having a problem with my system for the past few days. Initially the OS was crashing randomly. I thought I messed up something in OS, but today when the bios was booting it showed a message that my chip fan speed was too high. When I entered the bios settings and saw the hardware monitor...

I use FF at office also. There Google is at its normal speed. Only at home I'm facing this problem. Are ISPs known to choke some sites?

For the past 2 days, Google search is slow for me. Yahoo is fine. Anybody else facing the same problem?

Does anyone know where ergonomic mice are available? I tried to search in online shopping sites (indmall etc..) but couldn't find them. In case you are wondering what ergonomic mice are, they look like this.

Did you check which audio codec the movie uses? If you don't have the codec, then that might be the problem. On a side note, I believe the latest KLite version is 2.72 or something. Try to install that. It comes with media player classic which IMO is easier to use than WMP (I'm not sure if the...

Pretty useful sites!! I will add one more : BreakTheChain.org - Stop Junk E-Mail and Misinformation Whenever I get "too good to believe" mails, I do a search in one of these sites and reply back to all with the hoax link. Just my 2 paise to keep the internet free from scum.
