    No video from brand new mobo?

    I got my new Gigabyte with onboard HDMI in today. Hooked it up and everything worked just fine. But I get no video. I tried the HDMI and DVI onboard. I even tried putting in a PCI-E card I know works in and hooking up the DVI through that. No dice. I have no idea what's wrong. I don't have a...

    My new GA-73PVM-S2H is dead

    Hey guys. I just got the parts in for my new HTPC. I got it all set up, all hooked up and go to turn it on and BLAM...and by blam I mean it wouldn't power up at all. I tried everything I could think of. The PSU works with another motherboard, but another power supply will not work with...

    HTPC considerations

    So far I've got this stuff, and I'm probably gonna get a small SATA drive to act as the OS drive. SSD stuff is tempting but I think I'll just save a bunch of money. People reviewing the case seem to think it's pretty quiet. Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163055...

    Extremely strange router issue

    Posted this elsehwere but got little response...hopefully someone here has a better idea. Ok, I've noticed that every day I come back from work, I'm signed out of AIM because I hit the rate limit of signing on/off and I'd be disconnected from MIRC. I thought this was weird. Last night my...

    Extremely strange router/internet problem

    Ok, I've noticed that every day I come back from work, I'm signed out of AIM because I hit the rate limit of signing on/off and I'd be disconnected from MIRC. I thought this was weird. Last night my router was dropping the connection entirely and did it twice. I also noticed that I was regularly...

    1080 resolutions from ATI x800XL

    I can't get anything higher than 1280x720 to show up over my DVI>HDMI cable. Even that is cut off. I don't want to sound like I'm clueless, but this TV's native resolution is 1920x1080. Why does that not even give a SIGNAL to an HDMI port, let alone why is a 1280x720 rez being cut off?

    DVI>HDMI connection to Toshiba LCD..."no video signal"

    I'm getting really frustrated here. I've updated to the latest catalyst drivers. When I connect the LCD (Toshiba 42HL167) to the computer via my DVI>HDMI cable, Windows detects it. The Catalyst Control Center finds it too, even its max resolution...

    Strange problem after really hot day

    I already put an order at Newegg for a non-Seagate 250gb SATA drive. Should be here Friday. I'll try installing Windows to that and see if I can get it to not freeze after like 5 minutes. I'm going to try like hell to RMA this again, although I'm not too confident about putting data on it -...

    Strange problem after really hot day

    Yeah, I have MCE installed...that's not what was confusing me. Just the fact that bootup decided that there were 2 versions. I have no idea where that came from. My guess is that my OS drive (it's an 80gb refurb I got when I RMA'd ANOTHER 80gb drive) is, like you said, on its last legs here...

    Strange problem after really hot day

    Ok, let me run through the facts here. This weekend I was out of town. Our A/C went out on Sunday, my roommates didn't do anything. I got back on Monday afternoon to find still nobody had called to get it fixed and my room was at 99F. Awesome. My computer was at 46-49C, which I wasn't aware was...

    Excel question

    Hi folks. Hope someone can help, I'm no Excel master by far so this is really escaping me at the moment. I have some (that's an understatement) linked cells. The linking is fine, and what shows up is what should show up between the workbooks. However, let's say A is the main book and B is...

    HTPC has no video

    It's a projector with connections managed through a Viewsonic NextVision N6. All other video works fine and my laptop puts video to the RGB connection just fine. :(

    HTPC has no video

    That is insane. Almost this same exact thing happened during the summer when I had my old Epox 8RDA+ in that thing. That was understandable though because that mobo was 2.5 years old and had seen some rough days being moved around and stuff. This mobo literally went in and just sat there.

    HTPC has no video

    I can't figure this out. This thing worked perfectly fine until I left for winter break. Now I come back and get no video. Processor, hard drive, and dvd-r all spin up and work. I've tried 2 different AGP video cards. The mobo is a Gigabyte K7 Triton...the model number escapes me right...

    Who here is on Concerta?

    I take it at work in the morning, usually around 10am. It helps me keep my work motivation up into the evening so I can also accomplish school work. However, today, I know it's going to suck. 3 hours from my normal class block isn't meeting today. That means I have about a 4 hour window...

    Thanks for the resource! I'll spend all day at work looking at it. :D BTW, since you seem to be a fan...did you notice that we never see how the Professor actually fights? There are several scenes that show him standing over fresh bodies but I don't believe there are ever any action shots of him...

    Bleach 60 wasn't even on TV last night. I don't think it's real. Anyway, random thoughts: Finally finished Trinity Blood last night. Boy, that was building up to be something awesome but really left me wanting more (<3 Hugue though, why wasn't he in every episode). Very anti-climatic...

    In your experience, what is the perfect amount of time required to successfully pop microwavable popcorn?

    You do realize that microwaves warm to full heat in about...4 seconds? That's not a great idea. Like previous guy said it also damages. Anywho, I make ungodly amounts of microwave popcorn. I have found that on older models, 2:50-3:05 is best. Newer stuff is usually between 1:45 and 2:00.

    Shakugan continues to be the most interesting of the fall/winter season. Bleach still kicks total ass...it's easily much, much, much better than DBZ IMO. I shudder at the thought of what it will be like once it's licensed and dubbed for Cartoon Network. Jesus H Satan. BTW, this is a pretty...

    Dishwasher buying advice

    The GEs seem to be pretty reasonably priced. I need a black one though. My mom has an awesome new digital ceramic-top oven and a new fridge that are both black. I will look into Sears and Lowes, thanks. Although I have a buddy who works for Best Buy and they apparently get 5% over cost, so I...

    Dishwasher buying advice

    I know some of you guys have bought houses and moved recently. So I ask for your help. Ok, my parents' dishwasher shat out a few months ago. They are incredibly frugal and refuse to buy a new one since the old one still functions as a drying rack and they're used to washing dishes by hands...

    OMG! Are Management Consultant OVERPAID or what???

    Finance people frequently drink their way through school and get super high paying jobs, especially with practical experience (internships and stuff). Also, if you are taking a job in NYC, $80,000 a year isn't really that much. That's a pretty modest starting salary. I know a guy from my...

    OMG! Are Management Consultant OVERPAID or what???

    There are some management training programs (GE has one, gov't jobs have them) that start you out at like $55k. You go through training for 2 years and come out with a much higher salary. Maybe THAT'S what she is doing. It's like fvcking business boot camp when you do that stuff...from what I...

    The Comp Sci Degree

    Most of the top tier schools don't even offer undergraduate degrees in crap like marketing. The only "business" degree they offer is economics. I suppose they probably have some sort of information systems program which can sort of parallel "business". I agree with gopunk's assessment. MIS...

    What is the rollout plan for FIOS?

    Like I said those things do exist. The capability for them is limited only by some legislation regarding DRM and the fact that I only have a pipe capable of pulling 500k/s max.

    What is the rollout plan for FIOS?

    Well if you listen to Bill Gates' crazy ass, games on disc are gone in the near future. It's all about streaming content. Everything becomes better with higher bandwidth. And yes, many people pay for broadband connections for illegal purposes. I'm sure companies know this...who are they to...

    What is the rollout plan for FIOS?

    Awesome. :) As soon as they get it here, people will buy it. I know my parents are paying $50/month for a 3mbps/256k connection up in Toledo because Buckeye Cablesystem AKA The 4th Reich Cable System has a dominant monopoly. They'd love a cheaper alternative that's still as fast.

    What is the rollout plan for FIOS?

    I know Austin and Pittsburgh are already set up. Is there anywhere that lists a more extensive rollout plan? Ohio seems to always get the last of everything. I'd love to switch to this when it's available.

    Best defenses in College Football

    I think it's pretty amazing that USC is still playing backups and players converted from offense on the defensive side and is still ranked #9.
