    No video out with new Jaton NVIDIA 8400 GS video card. Please help!

    @Arkaign - Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have desktop around with a free PCIe 16x slot. Maybe I'll get at nearby BestBuy some other card so that it's easy to return. If it works then Jaton s*cks and I'll send it back to newegg and keep BB card. If another card also doesn't work then either PCIe...

    No video out with new Jaton NVIDIA 8400 GS video card. Please help!

    My HP m8100n (Athlon64 X2 5600+ 2.8GHz, 1MB + 1MB L2 Cache, 2000Hz System Bus, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD) has an on-board NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 with 128MB. This chipset has a pretty weak video and game performance and also doesn't have DVI output. I decided to replace it with Jaton PX-558DLP...

    Strange prob upgrading Dell Inspiron E1505 memory

    Thanks for reply. I already have latest BIOS update. Somehow I don't think that Crucial memory would make any difference. Both DIMMs I have are brand new genuine Kingston DDR2 PC2-5300 667Mhz. None of the DIMMs appears to be faulty since each of them work fine in Slot A but not Slot B. Slot B...

    Strange prob upgrading Dell Inspiron E1505 memory

    My 1 year old E1505 originally came with Hynix 2x 512GB (444MHz DDR2) split between two DIMMs. I decided to upgrade to 2GB and got compatible Kingston 2x 1GB (667MHz DDR2) from MemoryUnlimited. Dell has two DIMM slots A & B on the bottom. 1. Removed 2 old 512 DIMMs and put 2 1GB ones...

    Which drive (CDRW, DVD) to replace with new DVD-RW?

    I've got a new internal Plextor PX-708A 8x DVD burner. I have an HP rig with 2 bays, one occupied by CD-RW drive, the other with CD/DVD reader drive. Plextor I understand covers functionality of both old drives. I play movies occasionally and don't plan to do any video authoring. I need DVDRW...
