Re: If you don't know how an LCD monitor works i will try to explain... there are three colors just like a CRT, Red Blue and Green, that are projected onto the screen. In some instances colors will stop working like in your case the red and blue quit and the … | |

Re: a 64bit CPU will run a 32bit OS but not the other way around. the biggest advantage of the 64bit is that you can run up to 16Gig of ram. it is mainly used in servers. | |
Re: when you hard reset the router it probably just reset the settings on the router. just go in and reconfigure the wireless settings. | |
Re: is it a grinding like sticking a pencil in a fan? or is it more of a Hum sound? does it always wait about a minute before making the noise? The waiting a minute thing kinda throws me off because if it was a fan it would start as soon … | |
Re: maybe you should go to the doctor cuz i think your just going def!!! :-) It sounds like you have covered all the bases that i would have suggested. have you considered that it might be a hardware problem? Is the computer still under warranty? if so i would send … | |
Re: IT's weird. I just read through the specs and it says to use 4 gigs of ram they have to be 4x 1gig, but the motherboard only has 2 memory slots. I have never seen this before. Are you running a 64bit OS? | |

Re: For the first guy. Buy a new battery, they aren't very expensive and you can get one with more cells that will last longer. For the second guy Mr Danishtahir87 Check you power options in vista and make sure they are set to conserve power in battery mode. you can … | |
Re: Fist of all the CPU doesn't beep. that is coming from a speaker mounted on the motherboard. now willcomp is right the beeps can mean a lot of different things. | |
Re: does the ink cartridge move back and forth while it is feeding paper? is the cartridge full. if you open the printer does the cartridge move? my best suggestion is get a new printer. don't buy a dell. go get a cheap lexmark all in one from walmart and keep … | |
Re: i can't take all the Sheep puns..... IF the ram is DDR2 it needs to be the same size and preferably the same brand. if it is not DDR2 then it won't really matter that much. you do get a small performance increase when you synchronize your ram but it … | |
Re: [QUOTE=andrew2169;952122]DDR2 is a best for you. Try to buy this type of ram for your pc. It will increase your PC speed. Thanks for asking.[/QUOTE] If you don't know what your talking about please don't post. His computer won't take ddr2, if he had followed your advice he would be … | |

Re: when you bought it did he hook it up with the digital or analog? it may be that the digital side of the monitor was going out and he was trying to get rid of it. are all of the drivers installed for your video card? Try borrowing another monitor … | |
Re: It is perfectly fine to learn about hacking. The more you know about it the easer it is to prevent getting hacked. 90% of hackers do it as a hobby, they will right little scripts that they plant in your computer to pop up a message or something innocent like … | |
Re: It won't really speed up the internet browsing, It may help the frame rate when you are streaming videos and make them run a little smoother though. It would be worth $50 | |
Re: There are companies out there that make replacement batteries for all sorts of laptops. but they will Void your HP warranty. The battery dissipating that much in only 18 months? That is unusual and may be something wrong with the computer. i would turn it in to HP if possible. | |
Re: That graphics card suggests using a 500W PSU. If i were you i would get at least a 550 or a 600W. you can never have too many watts. lol But the CPU over heating doesn't sound like a PSU problem. Are you using the factory Heat sync that came … | |
Re: Yes, you probably shorted out your memory slot. the beeps it is making is an error code. try turning it on again and write down the error code. it should be like 3 short beeps, long short long, short long short, or something like that. take that info and look … | |
Re: Do you use this a lot to travel? does it move around a lot? one of the battery connections inside the case could have come loose? If you are skilled enough you could take off the case and make sure all of the wires are making proper connection. | |
Re: You may need to reformat the second disk. just go in and use partition magic or something like that and wipe the second one, then try and set up raid | |
I have a 802.11g USB wireless card and a netgear rangemax 802.11N router. Is there any way to make them work with each other? it says i can connect to it but it won't let me connect to the internet or share files. Really i guess what i want to … | |
Re: Check your BIOS and see if the cold boot options are the same as the restart options if they are not, make it so. it may not help, but it won't hurt. | |
Re: Is some cases all of the PCI slots run through the AGP to get to the South Bridge. yours may be one of those cases. So if your AGP is Fried then you won't be able to use any PCI slots. | |
Re: You need to Zero Out both drives and start from scratch. make sure both drives are wiped and have no partitions then install the OS | |
Re: Make sure you don't get the thermal paste on the pins of the CPU or in the socket. most pastes have a metal compound in them and it could short out your CPU/mobo. And remember a CPU is a ZIF socket. that stands for Zero Insertion Force. If you have … | |
Re: you may have bent a pin. i would pull you CPU again and see if one of the pins is bent. if so take a very small screw driver or something and try to bend it back. just be very careful not to bend any of the other pins. and … ![]() | |
Re: This is a good reliable mother board that will allow for plenty of room for upgrades [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131225[/url] this is the same processor that i run in my business computer running quickbooks, microsoft works and some other programs like that. this is a very stable and reliable processor.

Re: holly cow. i bet that thing cools better than most water cooling systems. you got my hopes up with the "Nude Pica" title. I was thinking, This Forum is really getting interesting!!! :-) | |
Re: You might try searching ebay or something and try to find a replacement mobo for that specific computer. i think normal is right, i don't think they make a mobo that supports a new CPU and DDR 400. | |
Re: you just need an adapter like one that normal posted. but a like he said, Most Mobo's will have at least one. | |
Re: that is interesting. the exclamation mark either means that is doesn't have a driver installed or the hardware is bad. you said that in re-installed drivers so my guess is that your vid card is bad. | |
Re: does it give you any error messages when shutting down or when booting back up? try starting it up in safe mode(press F8 while booting) then open a few windows. if it doesn't shut down then you have a virus | |
Re: [QUOTE=GrimJack;684113]There are usually 2 IDE connections on the motherboard; one cable connected to the motherboare can handle 2 hard drive - 1 master, 1 Slave - [B][U][COLOR="Red"]the slave being the farthest out from the MB connector[/COLOR][/U][/B]. The second connector can handle 2 more drives; 1 master and 1 slave. I … | |
Re: some laptops are maxed out on memory when they come from the factory. i had a sony Vaio that had the same problem. it came with 2, 256 sticks of Ram and i replaced it with 2 X 512 and it wouldn't even turn on. i called sony and they … | |
Re: [url]www.overclockers.com[/url] they can tell you all you need to know about overclocking and more. | |
Re: 667 isn't backwards compatible to 533. you can get a 533 DIMM. my suggestion is take your computer so someone competent and tell them to upgrade it for you. any Tech who hasn't heard of double sided ram should not be working on a computer. | |
Re: yea.... ummm... why do you want to overclock again? you say you don't want to overclock it much. but to be able to tell a difference in performance you would have to overclock it by alot. if you overclocked it from a 2.5 to like a 3.0 or a 3.2 … | |
Re: what brand is it? there have been a lot of problems with the really cheap Ipod knock off MP3 players. try deleting everything off of it the turn your anti virus off and put the songs on there again. If that doesn't work take it back and get a new … | |
Re: at those temps it sounds ok... i would at least put an exhaust fan in though. i agree with willcomp. you need to draw the CPU exhaust away from the PSU. even with the exhaust funnel on the heat sync the hot air will still get sucked into the PSU. | |
Re: I would suggest an 850W PSU. Water cooling is pretty much a waist of time and money. they do cool other things besides the cpu but you have to buy either a special component made for water cooling or a special adapter to fit each component. air cooling technology has … | |
Re: honestly for that big of an operation i would suggest going to dell and having them build you a server. they are fairly cheap and will provide Great technical support(For large businesses). Plus that way there is a good warranty if anything breaks. and they will install it for you. | |
Re: i had that same thing happen to me on a customers computer and i was stumped for a while because i thought it was a software problem but it turned out that it was a bad hard drive. | |
Re: wait... im confused. do you turn it on with out it being plugged in? and once you plug it in then the screen and lights shut off? | |
Re: do you live out in the country or in a rural area? sometimes on rural power lines the power isn't consistent and over time it could harm your system especially a graphics card. just a thought im not saying this is definitely the problem but it is something to watch … | |
i have a NetGear Rangemax 802.11N router and i recently did a fresh install of Windows XP on my desktop. i installed all the drivers and got it set up the way i like it. well i installed the driver for my lynksys USB 802.11G wireless card, and it will … | |
Re: you can run a laptop off of a generator just fine. the only problem with doing so is that the current coming from a generator isn't consistent and over a period of time could damage hardware just from the power fluctuation. if you have a large battery backup most of … |
