Very good, thank you! This seems like a perfect choice. However, I can only seem to find refurbished ones for that cheap. Can I trust those to be reliable? Would you mind showing me where you find them so cheap?

1. Budget & Location The budget for this build is simply as cheap as possible, which means go under the budget if you can, please. Giant letters to make sure this point as seen. The MAX (don't forget the giant text) is assumed to be $250 - $300 US dollars. 2. Aim This PC is for web browsing, personal small-scale photo storage, and e-mail. As long as the parts are reliable, nothing else is much of a concern. There shouldn't be any dedicated GPU (assuming the system will include integrated graphics, which would be best). 3. Monitors This system will only run one monitor at a low resolution (768p or less). 4. Peripherals No peripherals are needed; however, keep in mind that this system will be using Windows XP due to request. (I know the OS is very old and no longer supported, but I'm not going to be able to convince the system owner to move on.) 5. Why are you upgrading? The current machine for this person is a very old EMachines system which is undoubtedly on its last legs. We would like to move it over to a new system as soon as possible.

Sounds a bit like a memory issue, as that error is caused by attempting to access an incorrect memory address. Do you have any other confirmed working RAM to test the system with? You can also try memtest.

I'm afraid I need something fast, and $40 and shipping isn't fast for me. I don't know what's bad either, but I'm willing to try re-flowing every part. I'm just not sure exactly what areas to point at.

I believe it gets rather high, somewhere around 800 F or maybe even hotter. Do you have any idea where I should point it? Preferably instructions for the full process...

The only guide I've found for such a thing is for laptop motherboards that had dead GPUs. That's why I asked how I would do such a thing, or if it would even help.

Today, the machine I've been using as a server died without apparent reason. I noticed the fans were running loudly, and when trying to restart it, it would sound normal at first, then enter a loop of the fans running loudly. No beeps, but it was making a slow clicking sound (probably not the hard drive). After a couple hours of testing it and ruling out the PSU and other components, I've come to the conclusion that the motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UD4H) has failed. While I realize it's not recommended and most likely not a permanent fix, I don't have any money and the machine is worthless without function anyway; Does anyone think re-flowing it with a heat gun has a chance of helping, and if so, how should I do such a thing? Any help would be much appreciated. Already tried: - Removing all external components except monitor plugged into integrated graphics and power cable - Different PSU - Different RAM / Different Slots - Removing all components from the motherboard except CPU, RAM - Removing motherboard from case and placing on a non-conductive surface

It sounds like an ultra-wide version of 1080p. It has less pixels than 2k (2560x1440), but it's wider.

I would like to know how the sound at the beginning of this song is created and what I should call it. I did ask a similar question on Reddit, but the answer I got made no sense to me. I'm hoping someone here can help. WARNING: LOUD

I'm probably the most perfect horse person to answer that! What you want to know is how to run the 'executable', right? On windows, they're called EXEs and you simply call them - well, in Linux, it's not very hard. There are two things you generally need to do: 1) Ensure that the file is permitted to be run by whatever user account you will be running it as. If you aren't sure, you can simply use the following command: sudo chmod a+x filename where filename is replaced with the name of the executable. 2) From inside the directory the file is in, simply type the following: ./filename That is: period, forward slash, filename, where filename is replaced with the name of the executable. Hope it helps!

SMART is a hard drive status system. If you're getting an error from it, that probably means bad things for the drive.

I have an Intel Core i5 4460. It seems to be very similar to your processor in many ways. The only difference I notice at a glance is the socket type. This processor is good for gaming only, but in CPU-intensive games, multi-tasking becomes an issue. Additionally, it won't really help with things like rendering video very much. Immediate Edit: I also have a second monitor running on the iGPU, so that's quite likely a large factor.

It's extremely simple, you just drag the parts you want to use on and drag across the board to wire things together. The difficult part is the coding...

I've recently taken a strong interest in games involving programming and/or hacking, though unfortunately very few pull either of those concepts off well. (My favorite hacking game by far is Hacknet.) However, there's a new game in Early Access called SHENZEN I/O. To summarize, the game is about forming device layouts and code in a CAD program for various purposes. The puzzles are actually fairly difficult, and it comes with an actual manual that you have to read to know what you're doing at all. I'm not really good at explaining, so check the game out yourself and tell me what you think about it:
