It fits the socket but does it have to support the CPU as well? I want to buy a cooler and i see in the description that other than the socket they also list what CPUs are supported, but some just say the socket, i'm confused.
Failure to connect to VPN per the error below from the log... "Set socket to non-blocking mode failed: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.(errno=10038)"Support at VPN vendor suggests that a Windows repair is needed but have no disk as bought the HDD from a repair facility that lost their lease and cannot be located. Should add that I have had a couple of blue screens lately and have run chkdsk /f and tried to do a system restore but all restore points are gone, even though I had several previously.
Just wanted some opinions on some cpu fans for my socket 939 Athlon X2 5000 cpu. It's running pretty hot just at stand still about 135 deg. F. At 100 percent load can get to 189 deg. F.
Does any one know what good upgrades I could get for Socket 462? I am clueless and what not, as this machine is VERY slow and I can't get many tasks done on it, since it's CPU is way to slow. Any processors built for performance and reliable? Any suggestions?
P.S. My current CPU usage when I finished boot up and IE is running.
I'm upgrading from an AM3 CPU to an AM3+ when it comes out, and my motherboard is flash able to an AM3+ socket, and I was wondering, in which order would I do this? Flash the BIOS, then install the CPU, or Install the CPU first?

In theory powered USB sockets (maybe USB2 and later) can control the power if the hardware supports it.
I don't know if my H/W supports this function, but that's a mute point as I've never found any S/W that implements such control. Has Windows7 made any advance over XP in this arena?
This issue comes up once a year, at about this time, as I have USB powered desk Christmas Tree. OK, it has a switch on the bottom, but I'd really like to be able to control it with an application if possible. The tree sits on my windowsill, and it's not easy to reach over my monitors. And yes, if this is the worst of my problems, I'm obviously doing OK.
I am having issues with a brand new system which has an Intel mainbord. I am trying to connect the system to a Denon AVR1912 unit. Windows tells me that the Denon amp is attached to the HDMI socket (the Denon AVR1912 name is displayed on the icon) but then contradicts itself by saying that it is unplugged. I did discover at one stage that the HDMI icon in the "Sounds" section of Control Panel disappeared. I then had to reload the driver and thought that might fix the problem at the same time, but no such luck. I have checked to make sure that the HDMI socket is enabled in BIOS and that was OK.
Dell Inspiron 1545 Windows 7 I'm looking to upgrade the RAM from the present 2GB.There are two chips in the unit, I take it they are 1GB each. The only noticeable difference between the chips is the last serial number digit (one has a V, the other a W) and one has DIMM1 and the other DIMM2 on it.The system spec states a 64 bit op system. A chap on Dell community says it will have the capacity for 64 bits but would have come with a 32 bit set up. That I find strange. Two scans indicate that it can take up to 8GB RAM, so therefore it's a 64 bit system.
If I use live mail can I keep my present address??? I noticed that hot mail is the parent to live mail...is there any way I can keep my present address??
Right now my provider is road runner...I can operate my present email from them using my present email address, because that is where my pop/smtp servers are!
I am not that savvy when it comes to internet techniques involving mail..I am just doing what I know..
I previously had XP Pro 32-bit on a 320GB drive, and a 500GB drive set up with an Acronis True Image Home secure zone for backups. A couple of weeks ago I bought a 1TB drive and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OEM. I added the new drive to my PC, formatted it, and did a clean (custom) install of Windows 7. Everything went well, I could dual boot to XP or Windows 7, and I love Windows 7.
Saturday I decided I didn't need XP any more. I did a final backup, removed XP from the bootup menu, and removed the XP drive. I can't boot. My BIOS says it can't find a bootable drive. If I put the XP drive back in I can boot just fine into Windows 7. I've tried the repair tool on the Windows 7 CD. I tried an update install over my current installation.
My long term goal was to move my Windows 7 installation to the 500GB drive and use the 1TB drive for backups. I did a clean install to the 500GB drive without XP present, but Acronis won't let me restore my Windows 7 backup (other than just files) to any other drive. I have two drives available, but Windows 7 backup only presents the CD/DVD drive as a destination.
I've just about resigned myself to starting over with the clean install I have now on the 500GB drive, but it's a lot of work to get everything installed and configured again. Does anyone have any ideas?
I have a hp 4 month old laptop. I used it yesterday, turned it off, when I turned it back on 4 hours later, it gave me a message that it needed to do a chkdisk, so it ran that, then started in what looks like safemode. It gave me an error message that says "Windows Socket Initialization Failed". I did a little research and tried to do a system restore, there are no restore points found. It will not connect to the internet, it also give me a message that it cannot connect to the windows service.
i am trying to set up a virgin media email account on windows live mail. I have followed all the instructions but this error message is still coming up:

I have downloaded Outlook 2010, and can receive and send mail but there are a few other problems with it, so decided to change to Windows Live Mail. However I keep getting the error message:- "Windows Live Mail error OX800cc0E, Socket error 10060".
I've had windows 7 for some time now & Windows Automatic Updates have always worked fine. Now I'm receiving a message "Automatic Windows Update failed: Socket 10053 Software caused Connection Abort" from my online-armor firewall. I've not installed any new software recently, nor have I any email or internet connection problems. Also, performing windows updates manually works ok.
Yesterday I disconnected a useless usb socket and ever since i am getting the message failed to boot when switching the pc on, I have tried taking out the bios battery and left it out for more than 5 minutes, I have tried my windows install disk and tried repair from that but issue still exists. I am running windows 7ultimate 32 bit, and the bios is phoneix, that's all I know.
I have a system running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit which does not show any icons whatsoever when right-clicking on the speaker in the system tray and then clicking on the RECORDING DEVICES option. There doesn't appear to be any devices disconnected and none that are disabled. There simply isn't any type of device listed at all.
This particular user is about to buy and connect a USB microphone to this system. Will he run into problems with no devices listed in this area? Is there something no correctly configured in the BIOS? He is using an ASUS MB, but I do not have the model number in front of me at the moment. The sound, however, is onboard (no separate sound card installed).
I should also note to you that he has full sound capability, full CD/DVD playback sound, full Windows theme sounds, etc.
I found several instances of csrss.exe running. Looked up this file, and find it to be a legit file name for a necessary service. All fine so far.So I decide to search my C: drive for this file, just to see if I have multiple copies, and possibly one might be bogus. I pull up an explorer window, type csrss into the search box, and it finds NOTHING...Now, I can go find one instance of csrss.exe: it's in the windows/system32 folder... and when I search ONLY this folder, it shows up in the search. But when I try to search the whole C: drive, it can't find it, anywhere.
how to remove XP professional from boot? Its a single hard drive, I had a dual boot system b4, with xp home and xp pro. Now, i have installed win 7 on my pc, and i would like to remove xp pro (and programs installed on that partition), since i have sum important programs on home. There is a catch - some files that are attached to this important programs on home are installed on partition that xp pro is installed at, and i cant afford to loose them.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64.When I plug ANY Xbox 360 controller into my computer, it says "Unknown Device.I went to the Microsoft website to directly download the Xinput drivers, and when I went to download the, Windows Genuine tool, it 404'd on me, as the download page was gone, and it's still like that for me. I then found a direct download from Microsoft for the Xinput driver and it says "Not enough storage is available to process this command." Just to let you know my temp folder is clear, I have 16gigs of ram, and 573 GB free on my HDD, so it's a program error. I look far and wide on the internet for drivers, and I even download a Xbox 360 controller emulator (which is actually cool, it allows you to inject xinput drivers into any game) but it still didn't provide the base drivers I need I'm probably going to reformat again because it sadly seems like it's the only fix,
My Dad has a vintage Dell Optiplex, just reinstalled Win XP and now the *^%^$ NIC cannot see the webI rechecked and verified that the connecting cable is OKI tried downloading a NIC driver from MS, but the installer cannot see it. The hardware manager (control panel) does not show NIC mfg. details so I have to guess. The NIC is built into the board so I can't disconnect it.
I am in the process of upgrading my mb and cpu,I have 7 home premium uprade 64 bit installed. Will I be able to install without Windows xp present on my computer?
