    Weird wireless card problem

    I thought that might have been the case, but I've never noticed it do that before. The card seems to be working perfectly fine, I just don't want to experience problems further down the road that I did not knoow about (don't really know what could go wrong though).

    Weird wireless card problem

    I forgot to mention that I am running Vista, however I downloaded the drivers from Intel's site and it seems that they seem to fix this problem. Maybe it's a bug in the vista provided driver. EDIT: ....and as soon as I hit submit, it starts doing it again, but only for a short duration and...

    Weird wireless card problem

    Well I recently bought a compaq V6000t laptop because I knew that I didn't need the bells and whistles of the HPs and am loving it so far. However, I wanted to run Ubuntu and didn't want to deal with ndswrapper bs in order to get my broadcom card to work. So I bought an Intel 3945ABG mini pci...

    Few questions regarding thermal paste and cooling for a Centrino

    Well I'm currently in the process of upgrading my laptop processor to a 1.8ghz Centrino processor but upon tearing everything down, I have realized that the heatsync for the cpu uses a patch of thermal tape instead of thermal paste. What should I do in this situation? Should I remove the thermal...

    What if I wanted to mimick a livecd and copy its contents over to the USB drive and tried to boot into a directory of the drive? Would that be possible? How would I be able to point to the linux live cd portion of the directories?

    Possible to boot into an ISO located on a usb drive?

    I was thinking of that but I would rather but use up all of the space on the usb drive simply for the installation. I would rather just install from it like a cdrw or a bootdisc. I can just as well burn it to a cdrw, but this seems a lot geekier, heh.

    Possible to boot into an ISO located on a usb drive?

    Well I recently purchased a 4gb usb drive and love it. Can stuff miscelleneous junk on there and bring it along with me.

    Need help ASAP. Computer gets to Bios screen and then shuts off

    WOW. I'm an idiot. I am almost certain I know what it is. I hooked up the heatsink to the cpu fan socket, but forgot to connect it to the psu. I guess if that's not it, I'll be back tomorrow. I really hope that I didn't burn the cpu.

    System not booting

    My friend also mentioned that it sounds like the cpu is fried. What I'm wondering is....if the cpu is fried, why won't anything else turn on? Shouldn't the neons at least turn on? Wouldn't the computer at least post an error?
