    Monitor loses input

    Last night my computer was running fine. I set it to hibernate for the night and the next day when I went to turn it on it worked fine for a few seconds before the screen went blank and I got a "No input detected" message on my monitor. I was thinking it was a windows problem right off, so I...

I would like to find software?free or open source? that essentially allows the user to navigate through windows normally and...

    Need low profile bracket for Svideo below DVI

    We recently got some Diamond Stealth s60 cards but to our surprise the svideo port is below the DVI port. The goal was to use a low profile bracket so we could install these cards in desktop style computers, but the low profile cards that have worked for the many different cards that we've...

    Connecting a router to another router

    I currently have a wireless router in the center room of my house. Instead of running an Ethernet cord to my desktop, I just used my laptop's wireless connection and bridged it over to a second router that I have in my room. I have the Ethernet cord running from my laptop's jack to my room's...

    Alternatives to reimaging computers

    At my work our current procedure when deploying a system that has had a previous user is to reimage the machine. I was wondering if anyone knew of a program that can compare the current state of the computer (installed programs, user files, etc) to the standard image and remove the files and...

    Blank monitor, cpu hangs

    Just recently my monitor will go blank, and the only way to get it back is to restart my computer. Yesterday I was playing music and this happened. The monitor went blank again, but then part of the song just kept repeating (about 2 seconds worth). At first I thought it may just be my graphics...

    Wifi on Toshiba L35-S2161

    Hey everyone, I've just reinstalled XP on a Toshiba L35-S2161 because I was sick of all the extra clutter that Toshiba packed on. I have run into a little crisis it seems. When I went to download my laptops drivers from thier website, they don't have this model number listed. It's not like...

    Hello, I have 2 DVD drives on IDE2, and 2 hard drives on IDE1. When I have the DVD IDE (IDE2) connected to my mobo, I get a message about picking a correct boot device. If I unplug the DVD IDE from the mobo, and just have the IDE with my hard drives on it, it boots fine. What is the problem...

    WiFi on an old laptop

    Hey Kalyad4, I think I may know what the problem is. I don't think it was working with XP so much as it was working correctly with whatever router was being used at the time. The Gateway Solo 3100 has a Infrared port that can be used to connect to the internet so unless the router you're trying...

    A bakery owner hires a young female clerk who likes to wear very short skirts and thong panties. One day a young man comes into the store, glances at the clerk and glances at the loaves of bread behind the counter. Noticing the length of her skirt (or lack thereof) and the location of the raisin...

    Some thoughts on life, the universe and everything

    Right now I'm debating over whether going to college is really worth it. I'm majoring in CS (computers have always been my hobby growing up), but would really like to travel. IMHO I don't see the point in working for most of my life. If I had the guts I would sell everything I had and just travel.

    PCBSD / Kubuntu

    Sweet, I've heard alot about debian before, would that be too advanced for a beginner at *nix systems? I've messed around some with installing FreeBSD and getting Xfce/KDE running and everything.

    is there any real myspace trackers?

    The only way I can think of is if you own a webserver, host a picture and put that picture on your profile. Everytime someone loads the picture your webserver would record their IP address. That's pretty much it, I don't think you would want to go through the effort of tracking down what IP...

    What do you think of this computer 2

    That case that you linked to was nice, but not what I was looking for really. I was looking into some cases that included a PSU like this Rosewill one: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811147055 I know from above that Rosewill PSUs aren't that good, but how about their...

    I have no idea how the original died actually. Heres the thread I started about it. http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=27&threadid=2005924 I'm hoping that it's the mobo because I was planning on using the PSU out of the one that died. But maybe my old mobo died because of the...

    Ok, so I guess the SFF comp is a no go. I guess that's why it's called a wish list. Anyways, I'll post my new comp in the general hardware section.

    What do you think of this computer?

    Ok, so I've started a new computer. One more quick question: If a motherboard supports DDR2 800 then DDR2 667 will work on it correct since it is still DDR2? Should I get more 667 or even 533?
