I have been trying to watch videos on Channelfireball's website using Firefox. I keep getting the following error message:
This video stream is currently unavailable. Please try again later.
error code: PE_FMS_CONNECT_FAILED
I made sure my plugins were all up to date then when that failed I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox.
If anyone has experienced and resolved this problem or knows how to resolve it any help would be great.
Oh yeah, I can get it work in other browsers but no other browser properly blocks embedded video ads.
Edit: NVM it is just the newest version of FF. Version 9.1 has a bug preventing embeded videos from playing. 9.0 still works properly.
I've got a 2.5 year old self built desktop with a Geforce 8800GT. My friends recently have started playing World of Tanks and want me to play with them, but after a couple 5 min matches the video freezes and crashes my system requiring a hard reboot.
My system is way above the minimum specs and I found a lot of info about crashes, but none of them sound the way mine does.
I updated drivers on both my MB and Video Card last night, but it didn't really help. I went to pull the video card out and it was blazing hot (like I needed a potholder to pull it hot). I had just dusted it out and the fan is running, but I'm thinking that much heat is a sign of a problem.
I haven't played any other games except MTGO on it and that runs without a problem.
When we pulled the card I started the game using the onboard video and although the FPS was horrible even on the lowest setting it never crashed which is why I'm thinking I've got a problem with my card.
Is the next step basically get a new graphics card and see if I continue to have problems?

That seems to be the case. Video cards (old or new) aren't meant to be that hot. MTGO doesn't take a lot to run (so I've heard) so that might be the reason why that runs it without any problems. Is there a friend who has a card that you can talk into borrowing it? It would suck to buy a new card just to have it be something else.

Hey guys, I've had my Sony Vaio laptop for a couple of years now. Recently, the tip of the charger that connects into my laptop has started getting VERY hot, but only sometimes. My battery still charges in a reasonable amount of time, holds a charge fine, etc. I didn't even notice it until I unplugged the laptop to take it into the kitchen for a recipe and dropped the tip on my foot. Is this something I should be worried about or is something I have somehow missed for the last couple years that isn't a big deal?
Edit: After unplugging the laptop, it takes less time than it took me to post this thread for the charger tip to go back to room temp.

Odds of pulling any specific rare in 5th Edition: 1:133
So, on average, 1 JtMS every 2.222 boxes or 1 Bird of Paradise every 3.694 boxes. Yeah, I'll take my odds with Mythics, they are easier to get than old rares.

So recently my mom's HP m8430f's harddrive failed (wouldn't boot up windows properly and obvious thrashing was heard from inside of the drive). While installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 after swapping out the damaged drive for a new one, I've arrived at the following error
This is an issue because this happens before I finish completing the installation for Windows 7 so I can't boot up in safe mode, and this is much before I can install the video card's drivers on it. How can I solve this issue?

Just to follow up: Borrowed my buddy's 9600 and then bought it off of him. My old card was fried.
New Question:
I recently had to reinstall windows and now I'm getting BOOTMRG NOT FOUND errors when loading.
I read that I could repair these using my windows install disk, but its not working. (It first tried to auto repair, then I did a manual repair, then I did cmd and a repair command to repair the boot sequence.
None of that works. I still need my windows disk to reboot my computer. (It loads just fine from the HD as long as the windows disk is in there).
Is this possibly a BIOS sequence issue?
This windows install didn't go so well, but even though everything is backed up I don't really want to do a full wipe again. Thoughts?

Ok, I have a couple questions that hopefully someone may have an answer for. I'm not a professional at computer tech, but I can understand most things about a computer, so don't be afraid to use computer lingo. This is for a Dell desktop running Windows XP Professional Version 2 w/ Service Pack 3. It is a work computer used for a Ford parts department. I would just have our IT guy fix it, but the guy is never around and, quite frankly, doesn't seem to know what he is doing.
1. This one computer we have is being a nightmare for me. The one issue we found first was that it doesn't want to bring the Yahoo homepage on Internet Explorer. We can get to Yahoo News, Yahoo Sports, all the other parts of Yahoo by typing the appropriate URL into the address bar, but when we simply try typing in "http://www.yahoo.com" it sits there for about 30 seconds and then displays a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" without any other error messages going up with it. Any ideas as to why it does this and how to fix it? I wouldn't worry about it too much, but it is for my manager's computer.
2. The other problem this computer is having is that it doesn't want to print alot of things. We found this out when our parts catalog didn't want to print anything, the we tested an internet page and that didn't print. The print jobs simply sit in the print queue and not do anything. However, there are still programs that will print without any problem, such as our invoicing program. Any clues as to what may be causing this printing error?

To the first one- Have you cleared your web browser's cache? It might be trying to read a corrupt cache file from yahoo.com.
To the second one- It could be a connection error, maybe a loose plug on either end. Possibly frayed? Also, if you restart your printer, clear the printer queue, and retry, it might send it through.
Try those suggestions and see how/if they work.

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place, so if I'm not, someone tell me!
Let me preface this by saying that I am cursed when it comes to technology. Computers do not like working for me, particularly when it comes to gaming. It's just a fact of my life and I've come to accept that I'll never play a game on PC without a huge number of issues impeding my experience.
My desktop has recently taken a turn for the worse. When I turn it on and log in, I'm able to get maybe minutes of use out of it before one of two things happens: either it bluescreens, or the display goes black and will not turn back on. If these things don't happen in the first few minutes, then I'm fine and can continue using it, but they usually do. This seems to be unrelated to my computer's tendency to fill up with dust and turn itself off (a problem I've never had with another computer), but perhaps these two things are linked. I normally have to clean it out every few months, but these symptoms are different.
I don't know if this is relevant information or not, but this computer has also declined in its ability to play video games. It used to run Skyrim alright on medium-ish settings, though it always had a problem where it would cycle through periods of intense, unplayable slowdown. That problem has gotten worse, and now I can't play Skyrim at all, even on the lowest setting, because the slowdown is almost constant. The problem seems to have extended to other games: I recently tried playing From Dust, and it has the same issue.
One thing I suggest is checking the CPU fan for dust and removing as much as possible. Also, a fan blowing air onto the case can help to cool it down a little. Extra fans inside the case to suck out the heat.
It amy also be that your graphics card is failing, if you can post the blue screen message next time you get it, it would be helpful.

Sounds reasonable.
Another issue is that it overheated (minecraft did it) and when I reset the time by updating online, it sometimes says there was an error. I can repeat it immeadiatly and its fine.
Does this sound like it may be something else? Everything else is fine, and connection seems as fast as usual.
Any idea what sort of temps your computer is running at? What sort of fan situation do you have? It could be that there's just too much heat and not enough cooling going on. It could also be that your graphics card is at the end of its life. What kind do you have?

I usually spot it at 40.... but Ive seen it go up to 70 before. I'd say if im hard working, it sits at 50-60.
Its a basic fan system (im unsure exactly, but I have a sony vaio, all stock and no modifications.)
hopefully someone with a blackberry can help me here.
basically, the bar where it says the time and your network connections keeps blanking out (as in not showing up) and I keep turning the stupid thing off, but it still blanks out after a bit.
Just got the thing as a replacement today, its a blackberry torch 9810

So... I haven't had a blue screen since I last posted this, which is just about how my luck tends to work. I haven't changed anything since I asked for help. My games still run much slower than they used to, though, so something must be wrong, right?
Wasn't sure where else to post this. Please move if necessary.
I recently upgraded to a 20MB plan with my internet provider. I have a Linksys G-class router set up in my home. I've recently run a speed test on speedtest.net and I'm still getting a ping of about 26ms and a DL speed of 11 and a UL speed of 10. Shouldn't my DL and UL speeds be higher with a bandwith package of 20MB?
My router is a relatively old WRT54G Linksys router. Could this be slowing things down? I just replaced by modem with the supposedly faster version, but it only knocked my ping from 36 to 26ms.
I've also read in places that any ping below 40ms is virtually impossible to differentiate. I've been sort of obsessive about how fast my internet connectivity is lately and I want the best connection possible. I play a lot of Xbox Live and would rather not get pwned by n00bz because my connection sucks.
I don't really know a lot about this. Thanks in advance!

Today, I upgraded my graphics card and power supply. I have an HPE 500y, and upgraded the graphics card to an Nvidia 550 Ti and the power supply to a DX-520WPS. Everything else is stock.
My problem is that when I play World of Warcraft, my FPS starts at around 100, then after a few minutes it will gradually drop to around 25. If I don't close out of the screen by either tabbing out or closing it altogether, my computer restarts.
When I first installed the new hardware and got everything set up, the PSU fan was running unbelievably fast and the game stayed fine for about an hour, but after one restart it's become nearly silent and it only takes a few minutes to start acting up. This leads me to think it's a temperature problem, but I've got next to no experience with this stuff so I figured I'd seek help.

I'm no wiz kid about computers, but is it possible that there is a problem with A) Your motherboard or B)Your processor. Some motherboards may not be compatible with your card.
Then again, I may be completely wrong.

This leads me to think it's a temperature problem.
If I read this correctly, the PSU fan is no longer turning on at all, which almost assuredly means that the PSU is overheating. While some quality PSUs can operate even under a reasonable load without a fan, Dynex is not in this category. The PSU issues are possibly causing other components to overheat as well. What temperatures are you seeing for your CPU and GPU?

My problem is that when I play World of Warcraft, my FPS starts at around 100, then after a few minutes it will gradually drop to around 25. If I don't close out of the screen by either tabbing out or closing it altogether, my computer restarts.
When I first installed the new hardware and got everything set up, the PSU fan was running unbelievably fast and the game stayed fine for about an hour, but after one restart it's become nearly silent and it only takes a few minutes to start acting up. This leads me to think it's a temperature problem, but I've got next to no experience with this stuff so I figured I'd seek help.

I'm no wiz kid about computers, but is it possible that there is a problem with A) Your motherboard or B)Your processor. Some motherboards may not be compatible with your card.
Then again, I may be completely wrong.
