    Red Green Blue pixels, when Pink?

    Hello all. I bought an Eizo l550 a few weeks ago, and noticed at once that I had a stuck red pixel almost in the middle. Well anyway, yesterday this pixel turned pink. It has the same characteristics as before otherwise - it cannot be seen on dark background. I have reasoned and tried to think...

    Do all modern LCDs have a built-in counter (counting number of hours turned on?)

    I do not propose to find out how many LCDs are horny. I just want to know if this is a common thing- I suppose for the manufacturer to check validity of warranties- because there is a law here that says you can return anything (almost) bought within 14 days, provided you return it in the same...

    What in the nine hells is the hard disk's 'service cylinder'?

    Tufftest says there's something wrong with almost every head in my old 5GB Fujitsu's 'service cylinder'. It says the service cylinder is the one right after the last data cylinder. Fujitsus own diagnostic program sees nothing wrong with the disk. What IS the service cylinder? If it is common...

    Virtual memory mysteries in XP...

    Helloes. I have a problem with configuring the swap-file in Windows XP. I have three partitions. Two have 'no swapfile' selected, and for one I've set the file to 512MB (borders 512 and 512). Yet, on the bottom of the virtual memory-screen, it says 'recomended : 766MB, current swapfile: 767MB'...

    Videlag in games contagious?

    When playing RTS's with many people, you know it gets a bit laggy as the bases get bigger and the units and explosions become more numerous. Is it the slowest machine that sets the speed for everyone, or what ?

    On-board sound thru PCI-bus?

    Is the on-board sound of todays motherboards run through the pci-bus? Are built-in network cards, controller cards, soundcards somewhat of 'virtual PCI-units' ?

    Swedish foreign minister stabbed, condition critical?

    Radeon 9500 -> 9700pro 'the new thread'

    Heyo. I was wondering if anyone knew what kinds of 9500's have somewhat of a chance to be modded to 9700pro's? Since, there's a lot of 9500np's available here, but not one 9500pro or 9700np. I realize similiar threads have been buried in history, but today is today (and I search can't seem to...

    Question about two different Rad9600pros..

    Since I cannot find any 9700np's or 9500pro's, I have to get a 9600pro. Now, it seems wise to get a clock-friendly one, which is why I'm currently looking at these two : Powercolor Radeon 9600pro 400/680Mhz and Sapphire Radeon 9600pro 'Fireblade' edition: 'Since we are using samsung -2.8ns...

    ME moving through sluudge..ideas for process-monitoring programs?

    I have a 2GHz P4 here, and it has gotten the sludge, in other words, everything is made with a delay. The letters are delayed when I type, opening folders is slightly delayed..it seems there's some process hogging all the processor-juice, and I'd like to get some program that could monitor the...

    Bios dementia, help please

    Hello. I was going to install a dvd-drive for my grandparents, and I think everything that could possibly go wrong did. After I had removed the cd-player and connected the MSI dvd-drive, upon post I got : 'Bios checksum error. Press del to enter setup or F1 to continue'. So I continued, and...

    Video card advice..?

    I know this is an oft-repeated topic, but this is because of individual requests and demands as well as the effects the coming and going of time has on video-card technology. Anyhow, as it seems you (or at least I) can't get a Kyro2 to work with the Epox 8RDA mobo, I have to get a new card (was...

    8RDA hates Kyro2 ? :/

    Hello there. I just go my new rig together, minus a new graphics card, and so I went ahead and used my old Kyro2 fo the time being, and installed winxp on the abomination(machine). So, what happens is this : There are conflicts in the system-units. Before the sound card or nforce2 sound is...

    Effect of 3.3V and 5V =200W, this enough for XP Rig??

    I'm looking for a new powersupply, a cheap powersupply i might add, and I'm kind of running out of luck...I've heard the combined effect of these two rails is a better indicator of PSU-stalwartness than the Effect-number manufacturers throw on them..so, I'm wondering, would this 350W power...

    Oc'ing and memory timings..some help needed-

    Heyas. See, I have this cas2.5 256MB 333MHz DDR memory, and I'm wondering about things. First: I though original memory was defined by the actual memory-circuits being made by the same guys as the memory-board? Second: How big of a chance will I have of running my cl2.5 memory in cl2 ? It's...

    AJUHB xp2100+ stepping worthwhile, ocwise?

    I've seen AIUHB, AIUGB, and possible some others, but I haven't heard of stepping AJUHB. This is one I might get somewhat quickly here in Sweden, so I was wondering if it's basically rev A for oc'ing, or even Palomino-ocwise-bad ? Thanks beforehand :confused:

    OC'd Processor deteoriation if 24/7

    This post needs replies not to convince me of anything, but rather someone else :) So, if someone had a modern-day PC, and overclocked the CPU, let's say not to the limit, but a fair bit anyways, and let's say this CPU was pretty easy to overclock; Would it break down before it was unable to...

    MSI K7N2-L or EPoX EP-8RDA ?

    Some advice concerning potential upgrade?

    Deisday, good morning. I am considering upgrading my old intrinsically unstable p3-800(@896) system. Since I'm a student, price is a high priority. Anyway, I've been looking at the Athlons 2000+, 2100+, and 2200+, (thoroughbred and palomino) as well as the non-northwood 2.1 and 2.2GHz P4's...
