  • Can a cpu be too small for a motherboard? ?

    I have a evga x58 sli 3 and I have a Intel core i7 processor that says it is a lga1155. This is my first time doing this but the guy at the place that I got these at was helping. I'm trying to put this on but the CPU is definitely smaller then the space given. Is it not okay to put on?

  • new graphics card on my pc is not showing up?

    so the graphics card that came with my computer is a rs880 and i just got a new graphics (VisionTek Radeon hd 5670 with a 2gb memory) card and put that in my computer a little while ago along with a new power supply that can run about 600 watts. for whatever reason it still says i have my old graphics card on my computer and doesn't read my new one. i tried putting on the installation disk and all but still wont read the new card. for the record i have not removed any previous card from my computer because i could not find one and the directions were so crappy and not vivid at all. i see on the directions it says for me to plug it into my power supply i'm pretty sure but i have searched all over the card there is nothing it can plug into rather then straight into the computer.

  • how can i slow bleeding without putting pressure?

    long story short but i had my lobes cut with a scalpel in order to stretch parts of my lobe that were not being stretched normally, the part that is cut is covered with jewelry therefore i can not put direct pressure on it to stop the bleeding. is there anything i can do that will suppress the bleeding a bit?

    by the way i'm not interested in any bigots answering this thanks

  • will this help me in getting a tattoo apprenticeship?

    okay so i'm 19 and i am a apprenticing body piercer at a shop that only does piercings. body piercing and tattooing are the fields i have always wanted to be in but once i am done with this apprenticeship i also want to go get a tattoo apprenticeship as well.

    once i do become a body piercer would that encourage a tattoo artist to apprentice me more or will it not make a difference? not to say that i'm only becoming a body piercer to get into the field of tattooing because that's not the case, i really do love all kinds of body mods but tattooing is the one i've been set on for the majority of my life.

    if you want to take the time to see my art i'll post up a few:

  • why aren't my arms bigger?

    this makes me angry, i have tried working out for years and it never works. i do about 3 sets and 10 reps of 22 pounds for my biceps, for my triceps i do 3 sets of dips, ten a little fast, ten slow, ten a little fast. for my forearms i just do whatever i can find that seems like it works the muscle cause i can't really find anything, 3 sets like always and about 15 reps. i also do 3 sets of 10 reps for my shoulders about 15 pounds.

    inbetween sets i wait about 30-45 seconds

    after a workout i drink muscle milk for protein

    i don't know how long this has been, 3 or 4 weeks but i have yet to see any difference in my body structure, i still look skinny. i don't know what to do anymore.

  • i'm worried about my chinchilla and i dont know if i should be?

    kay well i just got her last night and so today i took her in the bathroom cause she seemed to want to get out of her cage so i went in the bathroom along with her to play. anyways she started just lying down on the floor randomly and then when i'd go over to her she'd be energetic again. but she kept doing that so does that mean anything bad?

    another thing. i have this clear little plastic box that she sleeps in but she's been going outside of the box and pushing it to the side and squeezing into the corner of the cage and the plastic box. is this a security thing that she wants or is this bad?

    i'm going to get her a nice place you can't see through soon though

  • chinchillas and room temp, i hear above 80 is bad and that worries me?

    i haven't picked up my chinchilla yet but my girlfriends cousin is giving me a baby that i want but i read that they can not handle heat of above 80. thing is i live on the 4th floor of my apartment complex so the heat rises in summer and my place can reach 84 sometimes. (yeah and the a/c doesn't really work for whatever reason) so i was thinking of having it next to my sliding glass door because it's open and it tends to be cooler outside then in my house in summer. considering they don't have sweat glands i don't know how much that would help

    is there any ways i can keep the area cool for my future chinchi? i don't have a problem spending the money to make sure it's okay. don't say a/c though because it just never seems to work

  • i've been working out a lot now and i don't feel or look any bigger i need help?

    i've been working out well over a month now using dumbbells and i dont feel or look any different, my arms are still not very large and i push myself do a decent amount, my last few reps are difficult but the next day i dont feel soar. i dont go too fast or anything, i do curls and everything pretty slow, i'm doing about 25 pounds for my biceps and about 15 for my forearms and triceps. i allow about 60 seconds between sets. i do about 3 sets and normally 8 to 10 reps each. i try to eat meat after 30 minutes to an hour of working out.

    i dont understand what else i need to do or what i'm doing wrong. shouldn't i see results by now?

    this is basically my goal of how i want my body structure to be

  • how long does my hair have to be to start making dreads?

    i like new hairstyles and i'm looking for a new one, i've had quite a bit and i want to give dreads a try. my hair is under a inch right now so how many inches should my hair be to start backcombing? my hair is really really really really curly, i have very tight curls so saying to wait until my hair is shoulder length will take quite a long time because of how tight my curls can be.
