Well if you want your computer to run again i would suggest buying a new PSU and with the upgrade to an 8800 i would suggest a 750W especially with that AMD CPU. but the above post is correct. just start with the bare minimum and add stuff from there …

It really depends on the chipset but this is the one that i got for my computer and i love it. it was easy to put together and works really well.

I recently bought an Accer aspire from TigerDirect.com I got a 2.4Ghz Dual Core 2G of ram and a Nvidia 8600 for $600. There are also really good deals on refurbished laptops.

have you tried un-installing the program or doing a system recovery?

What brand is the hard drive? some external Hdds will purposely not allow you to boot from it, these are meant for back up purposes only. they do this so you can back up your entire OS and so that your computer doesn't try to boot to it every time …

What are you wanting to know about it? it is just a key stroke recorder. they are not illegal but can be very malicious. you can pick up a small one for about $30 on think geek dot com.

holly cow that sounds like a mess. it does sound to me like a cooling problem. so once your new heat sync and fan comes in give that a try and let us know.

Do you plan on doing any graphical design or gaming? is Linux going to be the only OS on this machine? Sounds like the mobo is bad. it's getting power but not passing data, that's odd. if the video isn't working that means there is something wrong with the north …

[QUOTE=jack_morgan311;520570]thanks for your recomendations. Unfortunately, I have tried the cmos reset accordng to the manual as well as other manual resets. I get nothing on post. More specifically i am trying to determine if a SB LED light going dim after seconds of removing power means the SB is faulty. …

It is always a good idea to back up before making any major change or running anything that you even think might erase data. I have a 500G external hard drive that i back my computer up on i got it for about $100 at Best Buy. then i have …

older ram is more expensive than the new faster stuff. i went to buy a 512 stick of PC133 and it was like $60. i guess it is harder to manufacture. that and they aren't making as much of the old stuff anymore.

i think the P3's ran a little hotter than the celeron does. if the heat sync will fit the cooling should be adequate

yea they are a good stable mobo for pretty cheap.

the best way to find out is pop open the case and google the numbers on the board untill it gives you a specific motherboard. then if you look up that model on newegg.com or something it should give you the specs on it.

as long as you meet the minimum system requirements then you should be fine. but there is a reason why games have system requirements. i can run it on a 1.3ghz dual core and 1g of ram.

does it just open BIOS and then not try to boot to the os? it could be that it isn't recognizing the Hard drive. check in your BIOS to see. With such little info it is hard to determine what the problem is. these are just educated guesses.

try his idea. if that doesn't work you may try switching the modules around. put the original ram bac in the original spots and then add the new ram to the remaining slots.

Nvidia GeeForce hands down is the best graphics card on the market today. most higher end Nvidias are already over clocked. How much are you wanting to spend on a card?

i think that is almost the same mobo as in my friends computer. i am pretty sure he is running a geeforce 5800. that would be enough to run a flight sim

most cheap usb card will work fine with linux. i have a cheap one running on slackware right now and it is just fine. and if it does need a driver there are millions of people out there that use linux (especialy Ubunto) so if you find a card that …

Hey. My company has a bunch of files backed up on zip disks. the IT guy insisted that they use zip disks... LMAO!!! but i need the information off of the disks and can't get my computer to recognize it. i can't find any drivers online, so i don't know …

LCD is of course liquid crystal display which uses transistors to switch between colors, and plasma uses a gas filled chamber similar to neon lighting when i was looking at them the salesmen told me that the plasma would only last so long then it was trash. something about the …

I agree. the if it where the CPU you would still be able to get to BIOS

I have a 802.11g USB wireless card and a netgear rangemax 802.11N router. Is there any way to make them work with each other? it says i can connect to it but it won't let me connect to the internet or share files. can anyone help?

mine is the samsung blackjack2. now that i am able to check my email and serf the net from anywhere in the country i would probably die if i had to give it up. it is my lifeline to the world

you may have uninstalled the driver when you did a restore. try re-installing the manufacturer's driver that came with your printer. if you don't have the disc most printer manufacturers will have the drivers on their wesite. good luck

i also have heard of people having problems with ATI drivers. thats why i use Nvidia. ATI is also known for having bad cards from the factory. if reinstaling the correct driver doesn't work it might be a malfunctioning card. in that case ATI will waranty it. But if it …

In my experience fanEQ is a really glitchy program. Go find a program called SpeedFan. install it and see if it still does it then if that doesn't work replace the fan.

What are you doing with a 7 year old system anyway? UPDATE man Update!!! Let me guess your still running Win 98? Sorry ill be nice now. Piece of advice "Just because a microsoft program says it's working just fine, 8/10 times it's lying". update your drivers and you should …

as long as the FSB is compatable and it's the right socket, it will work fine. i suggest anything ASUS

can you connect to any of the other computers on the network? Have you tried Pinging a website to see if it is a problem with you browser? Comand line type: Ping [url]www.google.com[/url] and see if your get any returns.

I would contact your ISP and see if there is anything they can do to bump the speed. If not, just tell them "Hey i paid for 2Mb and i'm getting 10kb on a good day" do something or you will take legal action. That always scares them.

hey i can't remember what the IP for the loopback comand is. Is it 127.0.0.1

What kind of router are you using? I know the PSP and DS both where having problems with some of the linksys routers.

Just buy a SATA dvd drive and you will for sure be fine. just make sure your mobo has SATA connections. the sata drives are a couple bucks more but i think you will be happy with the performance.

I have to agree. i have heard of these scams. I hate to say it but you have been duped, scammed and bamboozled. Where did you buy the product from? you could threaten to pursue legal action or you could turn them into sony for using a trademarked name. just …

Im not sure ill have to do some research on that and get back to you.

Just find some numbers on you Mobo and google them. thats the easyest way. Just make sure it is a Socket 775 with at least an 800Mhz FSB and can support up to at least 4 gig of Dual channel DDR2 ram. If you want it really fast get a …

The only problem i see is your power supply. I know for a fact that on the 8800 the suggested wattage is 500w. If you want my opinion. Don't waste your money on an 8800. I have a 8600 that was half the price of the 8800 and it will …

If there is a way i don't know it. i would think it would be more trouble than it's worth

small surges of current travel through the voice coil which moves the "cone" Producing sound waves. the cone traveling is what produced the air movement

The firs step i would take would be to download a really good spell check software because i couldn't understand half of your question. That said. make sure that all of your drivers are downloaded for your video card and your Mobo. Worse case senario.... re-install windows again and start …

The problem with prfeb computers is that you can't really upgrade major parts. my suggestion is that you should just write down the numbers on the board and google them to try and find replacement parts.

[QUOTE=Nichito;525550]yeah... that's the best solution, i guess... i'll check my ram's compatibility... now, why is it not recommendable changing its motherboard?[/QUOTE] Even if you could upgrade the mobo, it takes a very experienced tech to put it all back together right. plus laptop mobo's are EXPENSIVE!!!!!
