    computer won't POST

    I have a computer that as of this morning refuses to POST. All fans power up normally, but there is absolutely no video signal at any time. This morning the computer was recycling itself constantly, powering up to the POST screen, quickly shutting itself off, restarting, showing POST screen...

    Laptop won't start

    Thanks for the replies. I opened up the laptop and for some reason the CMOS battery wasn't there! I have an old one which is only putting out about 1.2 volts out of 3 which I put in but still nothing on the screen. Still, though, I thought that without CMOS I would still see a POST screen right...

    Laptop won't start

    Hey guys, I have a Uniwill 258ka5 laptop. Recently it hasn't been starting at all. When I press the power button the lights light up and the fans spin up normally but nothing appears on the screen. I then tried hooking up the laptop to a separate monitor but nothing ever appeared there either...

    Someone hacked into my email

    It appears someone gained access to my Gmail account and used it to steal my WoW account. I was unable to login to my Gmail account the other day using my email address and password. When I tried to reset the password, the security question was in Chinese characters (which I translated online...

    wtf: new AE jeans

    Yep it has pockets in there, but they are sealed off by this stupid seam. Weird thing is I always get jeans from AE and they never come like this.

    wtf: new AE jeans

    So my brand new American Eagle jeans have the front pockets sewn shut. Why the f would they do this. Can I just cut the threads to open the pockets? I've always bought jeans from AE and they were never like this. Anyone else's AE jeans come with the pockets sewn closed?

    I have a Uniwill laptop with XP, Athlon 64 3400+, 1gb RAM, and R9700 graphics. It has been having trouble with overheating, and yesterday it got so hot to the point I had a BSOD followed by an automatic shut down. Since then I have not been able to get the thing to start up. When I press the...

    PSU question

    Depends on the quality of the PSU and the 12v amperage

    Don't overestimate 8800GT power requirements...

    Anandtech's own review shows peak power usage at 209 watts, and firing squad shows 233 watts. These are sites I know and trust.

    Don't overestimate 8800GT power requirements...

    Just an FYI, I recieved my EVGA 8800GT Superclocked Edition today. So far it's running great, played Crysis for about an hour already. My PSU is a 4-year-old Antec 380w with 24a on the 12v rail. The rest of the rig is in my signature. So just don't by into the hype that you need 500 watts of...

    Buy 8800 GTS Superclocked now or wait for 8800GT?

    If the 8800GT is supposed to be faster than the GTS, why would they close the gap between the two by increasing the stream processors on the GTS?

    8800gts320 vs 640 or 2900xt

    What resolution? At 1680x1050 or below, the difference between 640mb vs. 320mb will be negligible. Above that res, you may see a gain of a few percentage points in some games with the 640.

    Is there any way to power up laptop from car?

    I've always wondered, how long can a car battery run a laptop with the engine off? And with the engine running, does the alternator produce enough power?
