prinny101 — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:53:06 +0800

Is there a better and more reliable wireless broadband than Wimax?

or are they all the same shitstorm...

which ISP?

prinny101 — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 23:29:38 +0800

I'll be moving to bandar sunway, got a nice apartment.

Now i'm wondering which internet service to get? back at home i'm still using streamyx(because of the discount package) although streamyx connection can vary alot.

I was thinking of maxis broadband or maybe Wimax, which ever is good/affordable. Though none of malaysia ISP are any good...

since im bringing my pc along, i can only go for at least 1mbps(including modem) unless i can go wireless with my desktop, that would save me from paying phone bills...

any advice?

ps. i only know those 3 services, are there any other ISP in malaysia?

which internet service?

starup issue

prinny101 — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:56:15 +0800

my laptop suddenly went BSOD, and automatically restart.
when restart the BSOD pops up during start up, and it resume to log on screen and auto restart. It keeps repeating after that.

so i was stupidly enough not to check the BSOD errors, and did system restore, and left my laptop do its work and go out.

after coming back, the plug was turn off by someone....the battery that was left is probably been drain out and switch off during the system restore....but im not sure.

so now when i turn it on, it just keeps on showing the startup repair. Its already been an hour....i cant wait any longer

i dont want to reformat due to some valuable files in my HD...

please help!

old pc

prinny101 — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 23:34:13 +0800

i dont know where else to ask this.

My old pc doesnt display anything on the monitor, i already check the graphic card and swap with another computer, didnt display anything(this problem happen just a day after. Its a very very old graphics card, but thats not the problem since it was working just yesterday
so must be the graphic card itself. But i tried swapping different card from another pc and still wont display(theres no problem with the monitors). So i have no idea whether its the mother board or something else. I've given up on repairing it.....I just wanna throw it away or sell it.

HDD swap

prinny101 — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:53:40 +0800

Ok I bought new pc with XP pro installed

I wanna know the risk of swapping my MAXTOR IDE HDD from my old pc to my new PC, if there isnt, just removing the old HDD device manager from my old pc and install on my new one is it?

btw, my motherboard is Gigabyte S-series EP35-DS3, I think it support both SATA and IDE. My primary HDD is seagate SATA which is already plug, and should I just plug my IDE HDD as slave or master for secondary HDD?

streamyx problem

prinny101 — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 13:12:19 +0800

my streamyx connection continuously failing(DSL and lan lights disapeared) every now and then I have to restart it every time when the lights dissapear(usually happen around less than 1hr). I dont possibly thing its overheating because I always had it on for quite some time until this happened. Or perhaps over-used of bandwidth causing it to stop?

anyone with this problem and found a solution?
