    Mute/Turn off notebook speakers?

    thx for your answers! I've been thinking about getting an external sound card. Seems like a good idea, since the on-board sound card always seems to cause trouble when it can anway.

    Mute/Turn off notebook speakers?

    Hello! Does anybody know if there's a way to turn off or mute the internal speakers of a notebook? I have a broken soundcard (realtek HD) that won't recognize my headphones when I plug them in. The sound still works through the jack but the problem is that the notebook speakers won't mute. I...

    Computer won't boot!

    A friend of mine has a computer that recently just stopped working, after he turned it off one night. When we turn the computer on, the fans start to spin but nothing else happens, no screen-activity. The weirdest part is that I got it to work for a while by replacing his geforce 5600 with my...

    Replace 6600gt with 6800xt?

    Yeah, I think I'll get one of those VF700. They seem great. But why can't I use the ramsinks on my card?

    Well the thing is, I can't request a card that's more expensive than the one I have (like the 6800gs) and there's no point in getting a cheaper card since I won't get any money back if I do. The reason I'm asking is because the 6800XT costs merely a little less than the 6600GT I have. What I...

    Replace 6600gt with 6800xt?

    I've had an asus 6600gt AGP for more than a week now. Recently my fan has started to sound weird and the site I bought it from says I could send the card back to get a new one. I asked them if it was possible to get a cheaper card as replacement and that was possible. So basically, would it...

    What to upgrade?

    1024 ram is on it's way :). I have another question though. I think I'm gonna get a really cheap sapphire x800gt 256mb. It's just that it doesn't say anywhere what kind of psu you would need for this card. As for now, I only got a 300w psu. Does anyone know if that would be sufficient?

    What to upgrade?

    well I'm not from US and don't know the currency values right now but not more than $160 I guess.. I think it leans towards more ram though. I might be able to get a used 9800pro or something for not too much to go with it (it'd have to be real cheap ofcourse).
