Solve : COM PORT & Keyboard???

Answer»

I can't seem to find this problem anywhere so I'm hoping somebody here can help me! Up until yesterday, my com port on my Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 was working hunky dory nice. A coworker was using it to troubleshoot and then it happened....the terminal emulation screen went blank and you could no longer type anything to the terminal emulation program. I uninistalled the terminal emulation program, reinstalled it - no good. I was able to narrow down that it is not the terminal emulation program (I tried 3 of them with the same results - hyperterm, Procomm and cryptoterm) but the fact that I when I type, no letters appear on the emulation screen. I uninstalled the com port (I'm on com port 1), rebooted the laptop and the com port was reinstalled but the same issue appears over and over and over - I cannot type to any device using com 1. I tried changing the keyboard types on the emulation programs to no avail. I know the com port works because I can see the OS of my cisco 3750 switch loading just fine but when it comes time for me to start configuring - nada, nothing comes on the screen.
Has anyone ever had anything like this happen to them? I would soooo greatly appreciate any assistance and help anyone can provide.

Thanks very much!

we understand you are using the COM port on laptop to communicate with another device using hyper terminal or some other type of terminal in a simulation program. then suddenly it stopped working.
Of the many things you have tried, you did not say if you had just tried using a simple hardware look BACK tester. This is usually the first thing we use when we suspect a com port has gone bad. We just plug in the little gadget and see if we can talk ourselves. That is to say, on a terminal program you will type a character and that will come back and echo the character so every time you type something it chose back ike this:
hello world
OR
hheellllooo wwoorrlldd
if using half duplex.
One of your junior technicians should have this in his test kit. If you cannot get a terminal program to work with a loop back faster, the com port is shot.

But it it does work on the loop ABACK test, you have bad cable(s).

Ah! I didn't even think about a loopback tester. I've NEVER USED one with a com port so I'm not sure how they're MADE up - can you help me with that? I've got my phone guys that can make it if I know the pin outs.

Thank you sooo very much!!!Goggle com port loopback

Solve : wireless mouse not working?

Answer»

hey

Brand: silvercrest
Model: MTS 2218
2.4ghz usb receiver

I have just brought a WIRELESS keyboard and mouse set from a friend who had it brand new and unopened, and i tried it at his house and it worked fine but when i got home, the mouse did not work but the keyboard connects and works fine, all i have to do is put the batteries in and it starts working

But the mouse does not seem to connect to the usb receiver , so when i put in the batteries into the mouse, the infra-red light on the mouse lights up, the mouse also has a connection light on the top which flashes when you first TURN the mouse on, by the time light stops flashing, the mouse should be synchronized to the usb receiver but for some reason it does not, hence the pointer on the screen does not move, and none of the mouse buttons do anything

On the manual it says, all i have to do is turn the mouse on and it should automatically synchronize all by itself but it does not seem to do this

Also there is no connect buttons on either the mouse or the usb receiver or the keyboard so i cannot reset it manually

The keyboard works so that indicates that the usb receiver must be working, so im GUESSING there might be a problem with the mouse like it might not be on the same frequency as the usb receiver or something like that

Things i have tryed:
-All the drivers are installed correctly
-Tried it on about 5 different computers with different OS, windows 7, vista, Xp
-tried it on friends computer again and still did not work
-tried brand new batteries
-tried different usb ports
-Uninstalled and installed most updated drivers
-installed the software on the cd it came with
-opened it up to see if everything was connected properly and it was

And so far noting SEEMS to work

Does anyone know what could be the problem, as the mouse was working fine just like 2 days ago and it is not damaged as it was not dropped or anything.

Thanks...Download newest drivers.
Un install everything.
Remove batteries from Moue.

Fro newest drivers and remedies Google:
silvercrest mts2218 driver

Do the whole install over again.

Lots of people report this or similar problems, with the HARDWARE.

Solve : computer restarting.?

Answer»

i am using a Nvidia Geforce fx 9400GT 1 gb video card..
while playing fifa10 sometimes my compute restarts..
can i please know what the problem might be??Go to System Properties - Advanced - Startup & Recovery Settings and uncheck "automatically restart". Next time there's an error you should GET a blue screen message INSTEAD of a restart. Post the entire contents of that blue screen here.Does it restart or blue-screen?

If it just restarts, it MAY be an issue with the CPU overheating. i have done what you have said..
THANK you for your answer..
i shall post the blue screens contents if any..
it restarts only when i play fifa10Quote from: viciouswolves on June 03, 2010, 10:31:04 AM

i have done what you have said..
thank you for your answer..
i shall post the blue screens contents if any..
it restarts only when i play fifa10
If it continues to reboot without generating a blue screen then the problem is almost certainly hardware RELATED. But let's wait and see what happens.today my computer did not show anything on the screen during startup.
the usual video card bios failed to show.
after i pressed the restart button it booted. But it booted okay to Windows?ya but after pressing the restart button.
sometimes it starts restarting on its own. sometimes 2 or 3 times in one boot.
its happening frequently now.How much RAM is installed on the computer?

Solve : Arnove help?

Answer»

I have a 10 inch Arnova G2 that runs Androde Gingerbread and I know you can't go on Hulu I tryed.

But I looked on the Net and read a post that says if you use an APP called
flash video browser it will work.

Did anyone try this and does it work I would like to know before doing anything that MAY mass up my System?
ThanksI googled "Flash video browser Android" and the most RELEVANT of the search results was "Skyfire: Flash Video on Android, Right Now" which was dated 29 Apr 2010. Such third party solutions which cache the video on their servers and then convert it to an iPhone-viewable FORMAT have been around for some time.
The official Hulu Plus app is already out for Android, though: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hulu.plusQuote from: nymph4 on December 25, 2011, 08:40:52 PM

What browser were you using to access Hulu?I don't know what Browser my Tablet uses it is an Arnova G2 Androde Gingerbread.

It just has an Icone that says Browser and I Tap it and it opens?

What is this Hulu APP you gave me a link to is it a Browser or what?

I am NEW to this?I would think its an official app by Hulu that allows you to... well.. watch Hulu faster...No I MENT is it a Plug In for the Browser I have on my Tablet?

Or do I open the APP befor I go to Hulu or what?You open the app and watch Hulu inside the app.Is it a free APP and do I have to pay Hulu or can I use it the same way I use my iE on my Descktop to watch Hulu it is free?The app I linked to is free, but Hulu says, "Watch TV Now. Only $7.99 a month. No commitment." So I guess you are logging into Hulu through the app with your subscription's username and password. Hulu.com is not available in my country, so I don't know if there are any additional steps you might need to take, but since the app is free... why not download it and give it a try?

Solve : Big Computer Problem?

Answer»

Hello,

I have a big computer problem. It's a Dell Dimension E310 with Windows XP. Yesterday, upon starting up the computer, after the SCREEN with the Dell logo went away, a screen APPEARED saying "Loading PBR for descriptor 2...done." And then it said either the device failed or was not found (I can't exactly remember), and it said to hit CTRL+ALT+DELTE to reboot. I did so numerous times and the same "Loading PBR for descriptor 2...done" came up. So I put in the Windows XP INSTALLATION CD and tried the Recovery Console. At first, the only drive that was given was some K:\ drive. I ran chkdsk on that, and it did not help, so I decided to type in "c:" and run chkdsk on the C: drive. After about an hour, it said, "The volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems."

Then, things started to go downhill from there. I had to do a force shutdown, and then when I started it again, I noticed that the Dell Diagnostic Lights 2 and 3 were lit during the Dell logo screen.

A few other errors appeared after this, but at the moment, after the Dell logo screen is done loading, the next screen will say "SATA primary hard disk drive 0 failure."

Some things I have also noticed:

1) The Dell Diagnostics lights 1, 2, and 3 will now display once the "SATA primary hard disk drive 0 failure" screen displays.
2) I have heard 2 beeps coming from the computer at times.
3) Upon start up, the hard drive will make a intermittent clicking sound for a few minutes.
4) A few minutes after start up, I will hear the hard drive start to spin, like it used to, and then eventually continue with the clicking noise.

What should I do?

Thanks,

TomQuote from: CAFANTOM on May 11, 2010, 12:08:17 PM


What should I do?


Buy and fit a new hard drive and reinstall Windows.
Yeah, I was thinking I might have to do that.

A couple of questions though.

I read in other places that if I reinstall Windows on a new hard drive, and then connect/install the other (broken) hard drive, there might be a chance for me to copy the files from it. I have an external hard drive. Is there a way for me to install Windows on the external hard drive and have the computer boot from that?

My next question is: What service would you recommend to recover my files on the broken hard drive?

Thanks.

The short answer is, you cannot install windows on an external hard drive.

If you mean a data recovery software package, I think this will be a waste of money. That disk is dead. The files have gone to heaven. unless -- maybe! -- you USE a data recovery company. I cannot recommend any particular one, I do not even know what country you live in. They are very very expensive. Hundreds or thousands of dollars.

I know that with a number of steps that are quite difficult for the average user it is possible to persuade Windows to install on external hard drives. It is a geek thing, and the results are not usually very stable. That is why I wrote that "the short answer" is that you cannot do this.

I would think that you were a serious person, if instead of just posting to tell me how wrong I am, you actually posted good clear step by step instructions showing how to do this.

how about setting up a boot on a external flash drive? would that work for him?Quote from: rece on May 21, 2010, 12:46:20 PM
how about setting up a boot on a external flash drive? would that work for him?

flash drive, hard drive, no difference. Microsoft Windows is designed not to be installed on external drives.
how about running "dban" on the drive and then starting from scratch? if the hard drive is still good which is somthing that might be indicted? google dban for the LINK ,I don't have it though, hope this might help, I had to do this once on one of my harddrives.here is a link that might help too. http://www.bootdisk.com/OK try opening your external casing and install it into your desktop...if you need an IDE/SATA converter, they are cheap...(cheaper then a new hard drive)

Solve : computer startup problem?

Answer»

Hi all, I am having a problem with my computer starting up

When I press the startup button, my computer starts powering up, the fan motors hum to life, the lights all light up, etc. Within a second, however, everything flickers. The lights blink off for a split-second, the hum of the fans is interrupted, and then it starts back from square one. Within a second, however, it flickers again. holding the startup button, the usual forced shutdown procedure, has no effect. The process repeats until I turn the power supply off. I initially assumed it was a faulty power supply, so I switched it for a SPARE. However, the problem persisted. Next, I wondered if my surge protector or room electrical connection was going bad, so I tried an alternate surge protector in my brother's room, where his computer (very similar to mine) is working just fine. Again, no luck. Because changing power supplies did not resolve the problem, I have switched back to my original, more efficient power supply.

I am hesitant to CONTINUE testing, for fear of damaging my computer further. Every time I power up, the average period between flickers shrinks. It's still pretty random and unpredictable, but while it was originally 1-2 seconds between flickers, it is now 1-2 flickers per second.

My computer has
Pentium Core 2 duo 3.0ghz
Windows Vista 64 (up to date)
4gb main memory
2 hard drives
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT
Corsair TX650W power supply

If there is any further information you may need to help me, please let me know and I'll be glad to find out.It sounds like a faulty component is forcing it to shutdown. Disconnect components for minimum boot to BIOS leaving motherboard, RAM, graphics card. Also check to insure CPU fan is solidly attached to CPU.I disconnected all my peripherals, including my DVD drives, extra hard drive, etc. No luck. Then I tried removing some of my memory, and alternating it to see if that was the cause. Still no luck. I was about to dig up my old graphics card to try that, when my dad suggested I do a visual inspection of each of the components, especially the capacitors. He'd recently had to replace the motherboard on his work computer, and apparently some of the capacitors had started leaking their contents at the same time he noticed a performance drop.

My visual inspection of my own motherboard revealed no leaking capacitors, scorching, flying sparks, etc. But one of the capacitors did look a bit odd. The top LOOKED slightly bulged in comparison to similar capacitors in other places on the motherboard. Nothing major, just a slightly convex shape instead of the flat or concave shapes I saw on the others. Is this cause for concern?

BTW, the basic symptom is getting worse. It is now flickering about 2 to 4 times per second, instead of the 1 to 2 times it was before.Quote from: kotori87 on June 04, 2010, 02:31:10 AM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plagueThat seems to fit the symptoms. My computer was built in 2007, and apparently they were still using faulty capacitors at the time. I have replaced my motherboard, and the computer is now working fine. I even took the opportunity to dust everything down, neaten up the wiring, and remove a peripheral that I wasn't using. Thanks for your help! Sounds like Faulty hard drive to me, or thats what usually happens when there is no hard drive in it.Quote from: kotori87 on June 05, 2010, 03:05:31 AM

Solve : Screen goes black til I move the mouse?

Answer»

I have Windows 7. When I start doing UPDATES for Norton Anti Virus -- if I walk away from the computer for a while, when I come back the screen is black & a yellow light (I think it means sleep) is on. When I move the mouse, everything comes back on. Why is this & is my update still downloading when this happens? Thanks.Do you have either sleep or power saver mode for your DISPLAY enabled in your Power Options? Check Control Panel - Power Options.

And yes, the DOWNLOAD should still be working even if the display is powered down, but not if "sleep" kicks in. And all that yellow light means is that the display is not receiving an ACTIVE signal from the system - which could be caused by either setting. Thank you so much for your HELP. Yes, the power saver was on & after 10 min. it went to sleep. Have a great day!You're most welcome. Glad to help.

Solve : Added a second internal HDD and keeps failing formatting?

Answer»

I added a second internal HDD and when WINDOWS reminded me that it was still not formatted, I let windows format it. It keeps failing the format process and I was wondering how else to go about this? Can I use the fdisk utility at the command PROMT? If so what STEPS do I take?Use Windows Disk Management to create partition and then you can format.How are you trying to format it? And are you doing a "full" format as opposed to a "quick" format? If not, do a FULL format, which will check the disk for ERRORS and repair any it finds.

Solve : Free Space Wiping?

Answer»

What does free space wiping do?When you delete a file in Windows, all you are really doing is deleting the "pointer" in the Master File Table. The data or file remains exactly as it was and where it was, but Windows doesn't know how to find it without the pointer. When you use an app to "wipe" the free space as you put it, it overwrites the file with zeros so the data is actually no longer on top of the disc.

I say "on top of the disc" because when all is said and DONE, even overwritten data is RECOVERABLE with the right software. In fact, certain law enforcement agencies can recover data that has been overwritten many times. Bottom line, short of using a magnet or a hammer it's virtually impossible to make data completely irretrievable.Does this mean that deleted files still take up hard drive space? My C drive is choked to the point of almost NON functionality. Does wiping free up hard drive space? I just bought an external hard drive, but questions about it require a new topic thread.Deleted files do not take up any space - the OS doesn't know they EXIST so it is free to use that space for other files. So would I accomplish ANYTHING useful by wiping? I don't have any secrets I need to hide and am not giving away my laptop any time soon.No.

Solve : ethernet port dead??

Answer»

Hi, I've been setting up the system in my sig/specs, and it functions flawlessly EXCEPT that the internet doesn't work. The system is a hand-me-down, which originally belonged to my father, was passed to my brother, and is now in my possession. I should note that I'm very familiar with this system, because I assembled it for both my father and my brother.

It worked fine (internet included) four months ago (it was then DECOMMISSIONED when my brother got a new PC, and sat unused until this past weekend).

I don't think it's a software problem, because the internet didn't work in Windows XP or Linux. I've messed around in the BIOS, and RELOADED the defaults, and nothing is happening.

Both XP and Linux recognize the ethernet port, and in the Device Manager XP says it's working and the drivers are loaded. It keeps telling me that a network cable is UNPLUGGED (it isn't--and the problem is neither the cable nor the router port, because the cable works with my laptop). Also, the POST says something about "via rhine fast ethernet controller media test failure." Also, the ethernet port doesn't light up and blink with the cable plugged in.

I'm out of ideas, and would SINCERELY appreciate anyone's help or advice.

Thanks in advance!Cables and connectors can be a real pain. Especially when they're all and dirty. You might want to clean out the ethernet connector with a little bit of compressed air and also physically examine it to see if any the PINS are bent
Cables do go bad and become unreliable.
A cable tester costs more that the cable!
You can replace both the cable and the Ethernet port for a few dollars.

Please, start your own topic.Hi Broni,

I once again wanted thank you for you help. I now have no more crashes !!!

Your help was and is appreciated !

Have a Good Day !!

Sincerely,
Steven F. TrimarcoGood job Just wanted to say that I too, since 6/8/2010, have had my computer restart by itself. I had the minidump file(s) examined and it revealed the same issue with the driver adasprot32.sys
I am using Advanced System Optimizer 3 and have had no trouble with it until June 8. The people at Systweak suggest that I delete the driver. They made no MENTION as to what the driver is for, and if I can just delete it, then why is it it there anyway?Hi ,

I did the same thing, and they told me to delete the file and since then I never had an issue of crashing again.

The also did not tell me what that driver does, but it does not seem to affect the program.

Sincerely,
Steven F. TrimarcoHi Trimarco52,

That certainly was a fast reply. I had no idea that you were online. I did have one other file: "Microsoft.Vc90.MFCLOC.manifest" located in the ASO3 program folder that caused problems in the past, according to the event viewer. Systweak told me to delete that file too and that it was not needed.

Hi garalare,

Well thank you for the additional information. I do like this program, and I hope they will have this fixed before I renew.

Have a Nice Day !

Sincerely,

Solve : 9500 GT problem?

Answer»

Hello,i have 9500 GT GDDR3 and from today it goes with tremple screen,i tried my monitor on ANOTHER pc,works fine.
My 9500 GT GDDR3 512 MB doesnt have fan,it haves refrigerator

My os is win 7 64bit haves 4 gb ram 320 GB SATA HDD + 80 GB PATA HDD + 2 CDROM DRIVES,ONE CD-RW/DVD R SECOND CD-RW/DVD-RW i have ASUS M2N MX SE PLUS motherboards

What can be the problem?
and maybe that is reason why my pc is slow?

Regards,
Nikolasr Are you trying to say there is graphical corruption on the screen?

Does it look something like this?



Is it worse than that? or better?

The first thing I can think of is heat issues, how how does the card GET?

otherwise I would point the blame at the graphics RAM, and the only option for that is to get a new card.i had a problem like what the screenshot showed but worse.

turns out it was a BLOWN capacitor and i ended up soldering on a new one on.
Inspection of the actual hardware doesnt hurt.

just thought that might help at all.Please someone help me too. I have same error. My VGA is Geforce 8500GT 512MB
Please start your own thread next time.

I will say however graphical corruption is either caused by too much heat or a dying card.Thanks Kurtiskain

i was bought LKR 10000.00 (100$) so please help me. i haven't money got a new one.Quote from: orchid on June 09, 2010, 04:55:29 AM

Thanks Kurtiskain

i was bought LKR 10000.00 (100$) so please help me. i haven't money got a new one.

Was the card new or used? If it is new, send it back for a replacement, if not then I would turn off the computer, leaving the power cord in BUT MAKE sure you switch it off at the wall, this will ground it. Take off the side panel carefully and check the graphics card fan for dust or debri, if it is clean, power the machine up and ensure the fan spins.

Do not touch anything while it is running

If the cooling is OK, then the card is definately broken, and nothing short of shop repair can fix it.Nikolasr, maybe try swapping graphics card from the working PC into the PC in question and see if monitor is displaying stuff ok again. If that works ok, I think you can probably safely say that it is probably a graphics card error.

Solve : External Esata Hard drive?

Answer»

I got a new external HDD today and it has both esata and usb connections.
The usb connection works fine and have got th HD setup fine.
When connecting through the esata port however I GET intermitant messages from intel(r) manager saying storage device connected. Despite this the device doesn't show up in disk management nor in intel(r) manager on opening.
Any ideas, I'm using vista 64 bit on a HP pavillion 5000. I do wonder if the esata cables faulty as it's a 2 metre one.
ThanksQuote from: woop19 on June 09, 2010, 04:24:00 PM

...Any ideas, I'm using vista 64 bit on a HP pavillion 5000. I do wonder if the esata cables faulty as it's a 2 metre one...
Desktop or laptop?
When using eSATA, how is the external drive getting power?
What kind of esata cable? They NEED to be shielded.

SATA (left) and eSATA (right) connectorsI would try another cable...
2 metres is almost at the limit also...laptop, and yes it's getting power and is shielded.Quote from: woop19 on June 09, 2010, 04:50:32 PM
laptop, and yes it's getting power and is shielded.
I repeat, how is the external drive getting power?
OR
Where is it getting it's power from? It's not from the eSATA cable.Sorry didn't realise what you meant there, it has it's own power supply which is all plugged in and functioning normally, i can hear the hard drive spinning and it operates nomally under usb. It's actually a normal hard drive in an enclosure as opposed to a external hard disk drive.
Hope that cleared that up.Yes, that helps. 2.5" or 3.5" drive in a 3rd party enclosure. Who makes the enclosure? Some of those FAIL to use a shielded port.It's a 3.5" seagate 500gb, in an enclosure made by sumvision called apex plus.
Edit: Ive got it, it was the esata cable it works when in a very precise position and flickers on and off when it's not.
Thanks anyway, you've been amazing.I have an INTERNAL SATA that does the same thing. Insert a piece of paper or thin plastic between the plug & connector to tighten it up. Put it on the inside of the connector opposite the connection tabs. Play around with it, you'll figure out the best place.

Solve : radeon 6750M vs 6650M?

Answer»

The BENCHMARK score for 6750M is 1,128 and for 6650M - 728.
Is 6750M really that much better? I don't believe it. Does anybody had some experience with those two CARDS? How do they really compare to each other.
Also by the benchmarks AMD A6-3400M APU outperforms A8-3500M APU by a lot. A8 is definitely a little bit FASTER (should be).
And the gap between 6750M and 6650M should not be that big.

If you know the real difference in performance of these two graphic cards, please give some explanation to me. ThanksI don't know either-the HD 6750M is just a HD 6650M with GDDR5.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6750M.43958.0.html
http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6650M.43962.0.html'



And if anything the HD 6750M should be slower than the 6650M because of its smaller bus width and lower MEM bandwidth...


http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-a6-3650-apu-processor-review/4
The A6 and A8 have the same quad-core CPU INSIDE, the only difference is the A4 has a HD 6530D and the A8 has a HD 6550D for GPU and the A8's CPU cores are clocked at 2.9 GHz versus the A6's cores at 2.4 GHz.
The A8 definitely outperforms the A6:

Solve : much older HD on a new MB.?

Answer» http://www.superwarehouse.com/Western_Digital_Caviar_200GB_Hard_Drive/WD2000JD/p/319167

this is the older hard drive i have. used XP with it. the system it was in the CPU fried. have been TOLD that i couldn't use it with this new motherboard.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813131654

i am looking at getting a newer hard drive. but there is a lot of data on the old one that i want to recover.

if i can not use it with the new board, then what are my options for recovering the data?
You will not have any problem.
Er...;shh, I mean you don't have to have a problem.
You have to understand what you are doing.

Do you have another computer around to help you recover the data?
The windows OS will have to be installed again.
Best idea is to back a backup of all the data on the drive before you try to install the Windows XP OS.
I mean to say that is my humble opinion about the matter.

Please do NOT try to install XP until we get some more information from you. Do you have a Retail version of Windows XP and the COA product key? Unfortunately i do not have another system work with.

i still have the much older XP and key.

If i use the old hard Western Digital HD i shouldn't need to re install the OS should i? I should be able to plug it into the new board and go, correct?

What other information do you need, if any?

Thanks for the assistance Quote from: freedom07 on June 06, 2010, 12:10:49 AM
If i use the old hard Western Digital HD i shouldn't need to re install the OS should i? I should be able to plug it into the new board and go, correct?

No. Not correct. The Windows install process builds an installation for the hardware it finds at install time. If you take the hard drive and put it in another PC, it almost certainly won't work, (unless the hardware is identical) and even then Windows would probably need re activation. Follow Geek-9pm's guidance.

good morning,
first of all, do not do anything until you have a plan.
We assume that you did not make a backup copy of everything before your old motherboard died. So then your data is on your old hard drive and you want to preserve that data and also reinstall the Windows operating system.
The possibility of doing a Greek pair install is probably less than 50% success rate. Your new motherboard is very cool and has most likely a very different chipset than your older board.
So the plan is to figure out some way to install Windows on your old hard drive without destroying the data.
Here is a plan. Contact somebody locally I can talk you through this and provide you some additional material you might need. You will need to have some kind of storage media. Preferably a small hard drive that can be used for a temporary installation. Windows XP can be installed even on a small 10 GB hard drive. If you can make or borrow or buy a usable 10 GB hard drive you can do the installation on that hard drive. During the installation you will not repeat not have the old drive hooked to the motherboard. He will do a complete new installation on a borrowed hard drive. After the new installation is complete and working at all the drivers have been PROPERLY installed and everything looks good, you will power down the system, slave your old Western Digital Dr. and booted back up and you should see all your data still in place. Once you get to that point you can decide what you want to do next.
So go find a hard drive somewhere.
And yes, it could be done on a USB stick, but that gets complicated. Just go find an old hard drive somewhere. but not repeat not a hard drive that has the only copy of your data on.
Talk to you later byewant to make sure i understand. use a different hard drive to install the OS on. After i install the OS and everything is good, then i would plug in the hard drive that has the data i wish to recover? basically the second drive would become the slave of the first one, is that correct? i may be repeating some of what you said, but i am wanting to make sure i don't misunderstand anything.

I had planned on using Windows 7 on the new system i build. Until i recover the data i want, should i use the XP OS? Then once i have recovered it change to 7?

Why not simply connect the drive to a working machine to save your data ? ?
Geek's method is a bit of overkill...

See This...that was my initial thought. But when i was told by a friend that because it was a 6 year old hard drive. that it would not work with the new mother board i was going to get. Due to the old SATA compared to SATA 4.0 now i believe it is. i didn't see how that made much of a difference but that's why I'm asking you guys, to make sure.

Would i be best to plug it into a system that used XP. or would it work just as well with 7?

i do appreciate the assistance. Quote from: freedom07 on June 06, 2010, 11:27:15 AM
i was told by a friend that because it was a 6 year old hard drive. that it would not work with the new mother board i was going to get.

If I had 1 euro for every false thing that people were told by a "friend", I would be rich. The drive is SATA, the board has 6 SATA 6 GB/S ports. Why should it not work? The designers of SATA aimed for backward and forward compatibility with future revisions of the SATA standard.

Data Recovery Tutorial: How to Slave a Hard Drive
April 23, 2007 by Jacqui Best
Filed under How To's
This is a tutorial from Jacqui Best about the proper procedure for slaving your hard drive prior to running data recovery software on it. This would also be the procedure to follow if you were to run speed clone to sector clone a noisy drive or if you have a partition problem and need to repair or recover data from a partition or if you need to restore or undelete a file.

It is very important to not download data recovery software directly to the effected hard drive. If you don’t have a second drive or don’t have either a USB drive or USB capable data recovery software, then you must hook the drive up as a slave to run the software.
Hard Drive Recovery Video Series – How to Slave A Hard Disk

Watch the video below to see how to slave a desktop IDE hard drive. If you have any questions post a comment at the bottom of the page. We answer all comments that are legitimate questions!

Case Study: How to “Slave” your Hard Drive

In data recovery it is NEVER a good idea to install, copy, surf the Internet, reboot the machine, or do ANYTHING on the hard drive you are now trying to recover the data from. I often tell customer they need to Slave the hard disk to another computer, or put it in a USB chassis. What is difficult is the fact that the average home user has no idea how to do this, and it can be a very daunting task.

With SATA you put the second drive in the second port. And check in the BIOS to see that it is indeed the second device and the first device is the boot .

You said you do not have another system you can use. So start your build with another drive, install Windows 7 and go from there. Don't put the old drive in until you are sure everything is good with your new build.

The file system is NFTS on the old drive. Windows 7 would not have any problem reading data from it.

And of course, we never plug and unplug internal components unless the power cord is removed from the PSU.

The programs installed on the old XP system are, for the most part, not portable. That means the will not run in Windows 7 until you re install them.

There is no problem using one drive as a system drive and another as a data drive. People do it all the time. Slight increase in power CONSUMPTION and heat .
Along with slight increase in performance.
To over simplify things as Salmon illustrated SATA ports have been backwards compatible since Day 1...

To slave the drive hook it up to any port numbered 2 or higher...or 3.

Geek please stop making every issue more complicated than it really is...i greatly appreciate all of the assistance thank you. Once i get the parts i will do that.

i didn't know that the SATA connections where backwards compatible. If i had known that would have saved me some fear about loosing everything

For computers, while there are some notable exceptions, usually if you can plug it in, it can work; For example, you can use a USB 1.0 device with most USB 2.0 hubs and ports, you can use a ATA-66 hard drive on a motherboard with a ATA-133 controller, and so on. Of course it's important to check first with a quick search, there are some cases where you can plug it in, but it work, and might even cause DAMAGE. (only case I can think of where something can be damaged involve proprietary power supplies)BC_Programmer ,

Solve : Dell OptiPlex GX720 sound does not work?

Answer» HI Expert

My client has 5 desktops at his office all of them are Dell OptiPlex GX720 with XP Prof SP3.

One of them sound does not work,,,,,I tried many things, install driver and download new driver , check if the sound is disabled or enabled ,,,,etc.

Sound card is BUILT in.

What I did from home I accessed the desktop that has sound issue (VPN and RDP) and when I un installed the sound driver and installed it again the sound worked I thought this is the end of my dilemma, I was so happy because the issue was solved and I called the client to TELL him that everything is fine

Next day there was a surprise for me my client rang me to tell me that sound does not work,,,,,,I have no idea what do ? Why it was working when I logged in remotely?

What are other steps I ought to be considering for the troubleshooting
?

Thanks
All PCs at the office do not have external speakers , built-in speakers were used for the purpose of the sound ,,,,,and setting for all sound cards are same ,,,,means workings sound card have same setting for the one that does not work.

Solve : Wireless network suddenly slow??

Answer»

So, my desktop computer (which has connectivity issues on and off; it's been about a year since my last bout), started being real slow on the internet. I'm getting ~30k/s average, with spikes of around 100k and 0.3k. I was messing around with Ubuntu a bit (still earning; great OS, but steep learning curve), and tried out the shutdown command. As expected, the computer shut down. I quickly started the computer again (< 5 sec after power down). When the system came back online, it was very reluctant to connect to my router, and painfully slow network speeds (slower than it is now). I have rebooted, shut down for 5 MIN, and tried the wireless in windows 7; same result every time. Interestingly, the wireless was far slower in windows than in Ubuntu (figured I screwed linux up somehow as I'm very prone to do). The connectivity problem went away after the computer initially connected to the router, quickly connecting to it after every reboot (except for after having rebooted the router itself; that took a bit longer than usual to reconnect).

I know it's on the desktop-side of the connection, because my Macbook has lost no performance whatsoever (~1.5m down, 300k up).

My pings are still solid, but the bandwidth somehow is severely constrained.

Quick hardware rundown:

Router : D-Link DIR-628

Desktop: MSI P-965 Platinum
D-Link DWA-552 (PCI)
Windows 7
Ubuntu 10.04

Thanks in advance, guys.So, just to humor myself, I decided to test and see if it was the same problem as last year (PSU dying on me), and sure enough, as soon as I disabled the second monitor, the internet sprung right back to life as though nothing had ever been wrong.

Last year, my el cheapo 500W PSU started failing, and it took me a couple weeks to figure out, so I brought in the heavies and bought a 750W Antec

Now, about a year later, the new expensive Juicificationer 7000 is already failing? wth?

Granted, I'm running a second monitor on a power-hungry video CARD (1x), and 3 internal HDD's, but that is EXACTLY why I bought an expensive name-BRAND PSU; to avoid PSU failures.

Can I get some thoughts, guys? It seems a bit ridiculous to me that it'd be failing this quick; am I wrong, is this a fluke, or are these beefy PSU's supposed to be treated like PRINCESSES?Well, i would THINK it is not your computer that is not having issues...it is your modem, try replacing the modem. try to go with a wireless ACTUAL dsl.Without a doubt, Have the PSU tested first. Testers are cheap or I'm sure if you took the PSU into a tech he'd check it for you.
I would also suggest that you do a calculation of power consumption when using all of the internal and peripheral devices. There's no way that your set up should reach 750w at any time but its useful to know how close you get.
Expensive brand PSU's fail almost as often as cheaper ones so there's no guarantee there. The most common failure in these are blown cheap capacitors on boards from Asia. Regardless, unless its running very near its maximum output (doubtful), it should last a year. If a problem with the PSU is diagnosed, contacting the supplier or the manufacturer direct.Check the PSU because his internet speeds are slow???

Yeah, okay. And while you're there check for zebras.Quote from: Allan on June 07, 2010, 10:05:05 AM

Check the PSU because his internet speeds are slow???

Yeah, duh, like he says, you check the obvious first. slow wireless network speeds are almost always caused by PSU issues!

On that note, the "obvious" thing to check here is to see if the same problem occurs with a wired connection. If so, then it be the PSU, purposely sending the wrong amount of current to the specific network devices it wants to affect, somehow leaving RAM, CPU, and all the other devices completely untouched, which is impossible anyway since the VRM on the motherboard steps down the DC and routes it to the PCI devices.

Or, it could be a hardware issue- or, given that Linux still has faster speeds, a software one. Of course, if the wired connection works perfectly fine, then it's probably zebras. then it's probably an issue with the wireless card hardware, signal, or it's antenna. Or, of course, the software (what drivers are you using on Windows and Linux?)

I cannnot find anything said that fits that description. Seems to me that the other thread says it only works when both monitors are connected:

Quote
Short version; I have two monitors, and when both of them are on, I have no problems with the network, but if I deactivate the second monitor in the system, I can barely maintain a connection with my wireless router.

He needs to run a wire directly from the router to his desktop.
Or buy a new PCI wireless card. It sounds like the antenna is broke.

Nice to see you are keeping that old girl GOING

First of all if you haven't already clean the gold contacts on the faulty memory module and try it again. A ERASER is ideal and blow off the pieces of rubber don't wipe with your fingers, as the oil from your hands will just start the corrosion all over again . If it is still faulty then some more memory but you will need to shop around as that memory isn't being made anymore.

what filesystem is the SD card using?Try RESETTING your printer completely on the network, then retry your sd card in it, i dont think having a mac will have anything to do with your printer not reading the sd card. are you inserting the card directly to the printer or through your mac?Is the DATA on the SD card MAC compatible ? ?

I think we NEED more details here...

Solve : PSU screwing up a Mobo??

Answer»

I have a MOTHERBOARD that I had plugged into a PSU and was adding some new hardware that went over the PSUs capacity and then it shut off never to work again.
I plugged a different PSU into the motherboard and I think it ruined the mobo.
I also plugged the first PSU into another mobo and it no longer works either.
I have all these PARTS and I am WONDERING if a short can ruin them all.
This probably seems like a stupid bunch of things that I did but these are by no means quality parts. Just wanting to make a cheap linux box.
If this DOESNT make sense to anyone I will try to explain again.
Not looking for a super technical answer just wondering if a short will ruin other components.Shorting, power surge or static discharge could damage any component or even the motherboard. Its always best to know that most items being used were working before when swapping or putting together.I have seen three motherboards and PSUs ruined by one faulty video card. The first one, and the second and third systems that the owner put it into to "test" it.Well i can always take out some frustration on them. Thanks people. Anyway of TESTING these parts?

Solve : External Hard Drive - Lost data due to power outtage.?

Answer»

Quote from: Geek-9pm on June 08, 2010, 12:52:26 PM

Your experience would suggest the problem is heat related.
Turn off EVERY thing for an hour. UNPLUG the AC adapter.
Use a portable fan to improve air circulation.
Then try again to copy data as fast as you can
Do NOT use the move data command.
Copy files in blocks or folders.
Avoid trying to copy too many at once.


Geek-9pm,

You are the best! That was the issue, the drive was too hot! i had it off for an hour and now i am COPYING over some files, i an see that is stops after awhile, so i will have a fan next to it each time i copy the files over.

thanks a ton!
You are welcome.

Solve : Netflix to play from my laptop to my TV.?

Answer»

Hello all HAPPY HOLIDAYS ! Hope everyone had the best one possible.

Here's my situation, I have a tube/BOX TV with RCA jacks and an S-Video port. My Laptop has HDMI and VGA ports. Originally thinking this would be an easy one only to find out no stores near me, best buy - radio shack - k-mart, carry the cable(s) I need to make this happen. Searched the net this morning only to get totally confused by the choices, and prices, that are available.

Instead of ordering the wrong thing I figured I'd ask here. So if anyone else has had this issue I'm looking for the cheapest possible way to get netflix to play through my laptop to my TV.

Thanks in advance and HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

MP.hdmi would be your best bet for video quality. S-video has really low quality transfer.
I assume its the red, white, and yellow on your tv not the five rca version
hdmi to rca would be the best. There is a few on ebay that would work.
Like this --> http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-5M-5FT-HDMI-VGA-HD15-3-RCA-Video-Audio-AV-Cable-/130516366078?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6361b2fe#ht_2642wt_1172

Making sure you have a computer that can run netflix smoothy is important.
Some bluray players have netflix abilities if thats an option you like too.
VGA to RCA/S-video adapterThanks both of you for your replies.

Lumpy,

I'm "assuming" in the cable you copy and pasted I can use either the 3 RCA jacks (On the TV side) to the HDMI on my laptop OR the S-video to HDMI ? This is part of my confusion. It also states on the bottom I may need a converter box ?

JASON,

I think this cable would work but I would have to buy extensions also or my laptop would have to be *censored* up to my TV. Correct ?

Thanks again,
MP.Ya the converter i posted can be used with the 3 rca OR the vga. So i guess with your tv you would have to use the rca.
For 7 bucks you COULD try it, i mean it ISNT a huge investment

This one is even cheaper. Cables to make it longer are not hard to find. Easy to find at a radioshack.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VGA-card-TV-S-VIDEO-RCA-OUT-cable-adapter-/290651848018?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43ac333d52#ht_2445wt_952HDMI is the only option to get the full resolution. S-video is pretty much limited to "Standard Definition" (or what was called High Definition television until they INTRODUCED High Definition TV, I know, it's confusing...). VGA can go fairly high, but the processing on the TV can vary.

Also, for reference, the order of preference, from least to greatest for Television display, at least IMO:

RF(coax)->Composite->S-Video->RGB Component->SCART->VGA->HDMIJust to be clear, S-video does not do audio so if you use the S-video input on your TV you will need separate audio cables. Typically, if three RCA jacks are used one is for video and two are for audio.

Solve : :) New External Hard Drive?

Answer»

I finally bought an external hard drive for my poor little lap top that has almost choked on its C drive.

My goal is to get all, or almost all of my games onto my TOSHIBA Canvio. So far I have installed 1 game!

This is a big accomplishment for me. I opened the game in its new location and played it to make sure it works.

In the past, when I knew absolutely nothing about what I was doing, I tried moving games onto other devices because I didn't understand that they have to be installed and I didn't know what the difference was. Because of the moving here and moving there, what's left on my C drive and flash drives are game files but not necessarily executable games because the files might be scattered about. I might have deleted files because I didn't know what they were and created new files of things I thought LOOKED similar though they were actually from different games.

1. How can I make sure I'm deleting from the C drive everything related to the game I successfully installed on my E drive? I tried "saving the search for all files named Luxor" expecting I would get a list of the files, but what I actually got saved is more like a short cut for searching the C drive again. Do I have to generate the list again, find each file one by one, and delete it? Some of the files are probably duplicates since they were copied, moved, moved back, etc. but located in various places.

2. For all the other games, how do I make sure I've gathered up anything I "moved" to flash drives, in case they're my only copy of a file? How do I get all of a game's files back in one place on the C drive in case that's the only way to get the executable game onto the E drive? Well.. it would be a monumental job just to manually locate all the registry entries for the installed games on your COMPUTER... and then change them so they point to the game's new location.

Most games have save files stored in "My Documents..." wouldn't it be better to reinstall the games you want on your external drive and then just uninstall them from your computer, and then put the save file in its new location wherever the new game INSTALL specifies? All the moving of files will eventually get you confused...

the setup.exe is your friend... If I moved a single file out of a massive game collection and then came back a few months later I would be having a hard time testing each and every game for a missing DLL...So I suggest you start all over again, i.e. reinstall all the games that you can remember you have moved files out of...
You can do what I do with my games-just create an ISO of your game install disc and save it to a folder on your hard drive. That way you won't have to worry about losing or damaging your fragile setup disc. These are games that didn't come from a disk, just a download from the game website - Puzzle Inlay, Alchemy (don't laugh), that sort of thing. If I lost some of them I wouldn't cry, I would just be out the money.

The more complex games I'll leave on the C drive (at least until I know I can install them on the E), but aside from games I don't know of much else I can get off the C. Almost all my personal files and photos I took off already, and my biggest program, MS Streets and Trips I'll leave on the C. But right now I only have 867 MB free.

I know I can't really assume that if a game I had on the C and now have on the E drive is fully installed just because it starts playing well, I have to go with it. But I still have files with some of these game names on the C. Sometimes it's because I or a remote technician make copies of the games, some are the result of me trying to move the games and trying to move them back. So I really want to gather up the junk and delete it. Off hand I would say I have about 10 original games, at most.

Hey, my car's GAS gauge is almost on empty, should I buy a new car?

YES! Buy a new car so i can have your old one

The OP did ask about buying a new computer. Be fair.A new computer is ALWAYS going to be better and faster that what ever you have now. WHENEVER you should buy a new computer depends on what you really need. If you primarily do email and web surfing an older computer will do fine. If you are a heavy duty gamer, you will need to either buy a new computer frequently, or upgrade often.

I remember a cartoon SEVERAL YEARS ago. A customer was buying a computer at a check out counter, and at the end of the check out counter was a trash can, meaning by the time you paid for the computer it was already out of date.

Solve : Ahhhh....this is crazy!!?

Answer»

Okay here is the problem.. I started my desktop (HP Pavalion a6300f) the other day and it did not load. It started to make one short beep and then one long one. so I went to the computer shop and he told me I had to upgrade my RAM memory. So I did and still nothing, so I took my CPU to him and he did some test while I went to work. I came back and he told me I needed to buy a new motherboard. Is this true? Is their anything I can try first? If I have to buy a new motherboard where can I buy one and which one's are compatibly with my system. I know it is a lot of questions but I am lost. Thank-you for any advice that is given in advance. If I need a new motherboard what is a good site to find out what is compatible with my computer. Thanks!!
Hello and welcome to the CH forum.
The HP Pavilion a6300f is generally a good mainstream computer. But they do go bad. If you buy this computer and?
The reason I ASKED is because this MODEL is available as a refurbished computer and comes with a one-year warranty. So if you recently bought a good may still be under warranty. But if you are the original owner, I am SURE it's beyond the warranty now.
Here is my first reaction. Do not put your trust in that particular computer repair man. You have already lost more RAM for the machine and it did not solve the problem and now he's telling you to get a new motherboard. You're GOING to get deeper in and deeper into trouble by dealing with someone they cannot correctly identify your problem.
Here is the procedure I would recommend for an average user to troubleshoot this machine.
Number 1. Beg or Buy the installation disk for this computer. The generic HP windows XP install disc is good ENOUGH for some diagnostics.
Number 2. Go get a good hard drive that will work in this computer. I believe that any IDE hard drive made in the past few years will work on this model.
Number 3. try to install windows XP on 2 New Dr. Of course, you have to have the old drive disconnected. And also any other peripherals and things that you have added to the original machine. Including the video card, if it is not the card that came with the computer.
For the average shooters this is the easiest way to do good diagnostic of a motherboard that appears to be defective but is able to boot the CD drive and is able to identify the hard drive. Expect this to be a four hour test. If it takes longer than that to install Windows XP on a good hard drive, this would likely indicate some kind of problem with the motherboard.

And there other possibilities, but do not be hasty to go out and buy a motherboard. Unless you like to waste money.

That assumes the keyboard supports adapters; some don't. Same goes for mice.The adapters don't work. I bought one for each USB keyboard I have.

That's why I can't get to the BIOS with the keyboard. The closest computer store is 600 miles due south.
I had just hoped that you may know of a WAY to get there from safe/mode, or any other way, for that matter.

When you think about it, it is the most practical way. With the old IBM PS/2 range (nothing to do with the PS2 games thing) you had to start the machine with a special floppy disk. Essentially, your motherboard is shot.
Why would the motherboard be shot? The only thing that does not work properly on the computer is the keyboard ps2 port. Even the mouse ps2 port works, though I use a USB mouse.
Indeed, the only reason I wanted into the BIOS was to see if the USB legacy was turned on. I am going to install a USB 2 pci card when it gets here. Anyway, thanks for the help.Quote from: jwfilion on April 25, 2010, 04:27:50 PM

If the mouse PS2 port still works, you can get a Y-cable for keyboard & mouse. OR
Reset BIOS (remove battery for 10 minutes), power up computer with USB keyboard attached and BIOS may enable legacy support.This thread has puzzled me from the start.

There are some machines made today with no PS/2 ports, only USB ports, so why would a USB keyboard have a problem getting into the BIOS?

I've NEVER seen a PS/2 port go bad, although I'm sure they do sometimes, and I've never changed a keyboard from PS/2 to USB. I have however changed several mice from PS/2 to USB and never had any issues or the need to get into the BIOS. I don't know why the keyboard would be that much different than a mouse. Personally, if I have the option between PS/2 and USB for keyboards and mice, I'll go with PS/2 every time.

I would try CC's recommendations first, but if those don't work, then there is something else going on.Quote from: rthompson80819 on April 25, 2010, 09:37:58 PM

If an older machine has both USB and PS/2 ports and the bios either (a) does not have USB legacy support or (b) it is turned off, and this is the default, and the PS/2 port is fried, then the BIOS is effectively inaccessible. A modern machine with USB only is certain to have USB legacy support.

I have; a bad keyboard can fry the the port through excessive current drain.

Yes, I do have an older machine with both port types. A friend came over last year to use mine. She had a business to tend to and her machine was out being repaired. She brought her own keyboard, one of those FANCY ergonomic ones. My computer hasn't been the same since.
I ordered one of those Y-cables and will give that a try. Thanks all.

It depends on where you want to purchase it and how MUCH you want to spend and how many GB you want. Would Suggest taking a look at the HD you have already. If you could get a hold of a spare HD with Sata connections. Maybe borrow it from a friend or another computer you would know for sure. Motherboard most likely will be pricier and not as easy to replace. Start with the most obvious. It is easy enough to replace the HD yourself. No need to take it to a repair shop. They will charge you an arm and a leg. Just google, "how do I replace/install a sata HARDRIVE" Just make sure you unplug everything before you open the case and ground yourself by touching the metal case to avoid static electricity.

Solve : Roland SCC-1 question?

Answer»

Would it be worth it to install a second Roland SCC-1 MIDI card into the old computer where I installed one earlier this year? The Roland SCC-1 has a maximum polyphony of 24 voices, and I'm WONDERING if I might be able to install a duplicate SCC-1 on the exact same SETTINGS of I/0 336 and IRQ 3. Since the MPU-401 Windows driver is already installed and using those settings for the SCC-1, I don't think there'd be a problem. (Of course, I'd have to connect the midi cards to each other using their midi ports.) Would installing a duplicate card increase the maximum polyphony or would it not? I need to know this in advance before searching for one in the future. As of now there isn't one on eBay, and I'd like to know if one of you guys has one you could sell to me at some point. I can't buy one right now as I don't have the money.I don't think this would work.... since if you have them both on the same IRQ/DMA/etc, they will be receiving the same MIDI instructions, and therefore their internal state (such as used voice buffers) will be the same. You can install them separately, but I don't think you would double the number of voices you can have.Would I need to put the cards on different IRQs and/or Input/Outputs then? I'd have to look into it and make sure that there's free IRQs available on the computer. While I may be able to take advantage of this in Windows using a Custom midi setup, this probably won't work in DOS games as I'll be FORCED to use one card or the other.

The only other option I have with increasing the polyphony is to connect the SCC-1 to the SC-88Pro through midi cables. (That's the external midi module sitting next to the computer.)

Solve : My monitor is too dark.?

Answer»

I have an HP monitor. The number on the front of it is HP w2408h. For computer stuff it's fine. Watching YouTube is fine. But, for movies, or TV, I usually have to tilt the monitor forward(by putting something underneath the rear of the base). Doing this makes the image lighter because I usually sit back when watching movies. I've tried the brightness controls on the monitor but they only do so much. Again, this is only for movies that are dark to begin with. Like, I was watching Iron Man 2 and the SECOND part of the movie is mostly at night and it's very hard to watch. But, this is also a problem with VLC media player. I know there are controls for interlace and stuff like that but I'm not SURE which ones to try. MAINLY, I just want the picture much light and the darks to APPEAR brighter. Take off your sunglasses.
I think you will find this is the type of monitor There are CRT, Plasma, LCD screens I have a portable television that seems to have the same problem I was told that the screen was WEARING out. However Some LCD models have a restricted viewing angle, but many allow up to 160-degree which could cause the problem

Solve : Black screen?

Answer»

hi,
When I want to play a game (any game), my screen suddenly turns black. And than I need to hold the on/off button to shut my system down because I cant do anything. This HAPPENS since 6 months. Before that I always could play games. My laptop is a GAMING laptop. Can someone help me with this? Have you checked the temperatures inside your laptop lately? Dust inside could be causing a overheating problem. Yes, and it didnt help.Quote from: kelvinvds on December 31, 2011, 04:27:18 AM

Yes, and it didnt help.

So were they HIGH or not? Have you dropped it or got it wet?

They were not high and I didnt DROP it and it didnt get wet.

Solve : New setup problems!?

Answer»

Hi all, basicaly i have just built myself a new pc, but, its not behaving like i would expect it too...
Im after some help figuring out the problem and then hopefully fixing it...

First off, this is everything i have bought.

CPU
AMD Phenom II X4 945, Deneb Core, SOCKET AM3, 3.0GHz

Mobo
MSI 790GX-G65

GFX Card
[/B]1GB Power Color HD 5830

RAM
2GB (2x1GB) Corsair XMS3, DDR3 PC3-10666 (1333) Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 9-9-9-24, 1.50V

PSU
750W Powercool PC750UM, Modular, 80%+ Eff, Dual 12V, Sli/Xfire, ATX12V V2.2 PSU

Case
NZXT Tempest Black Mid Tower

Basicaly, it just seems unstable....
when playing games they ether crash or hang.... its driving me insane!
atm im running the OS off an IDE HDD, and have a Sata 1tb for my MEDIA stuff.

anyone have any ideas on what could be the problem or how to pin point the problem?

Cheers all!Is the RAM compatible with the board? (Like on a compatibility list?)

Not on the list...My RAM should be compatible with my mobo, supports DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600(OC)

http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1739

i have ran lots of stress testing software and log's to try and figure out the problem but not 100% SURE what t is at the moment.
Ran tests on RAM, CPU, Gfx card ETC, only thing i can think of is maybe a unstable PSU giving in when the computer is under heavy load e.g. games.

Solve : Viewing computer on TV Screen?

Answer»

Hello~
I was wondering if there was any additional WIRES or cables needed in order to view your computer on your TV?
The back of my TV has a plug for a monitor labeled PC Monitor and I can plug my computer into the TV and when I first turn it on, I'm able to see the startup screen wher eit SAYS Dell or some crap. But as SOON as it loads windows (or at least that's what it seems like) the TV goes blank. Besides the other question, does anyone have an idea what's going wrong there? ^^
Dell Dimension E521 is my comp model, if it matters, and the TV is from Sansui. I can get model # if it's needed probably to help.
Thanks in advance for any help, and if you need more info just ask ><.Is the TV a high definition unit? If yes it is very doable with the right cables and video card. I am currently successfully doing this with a Dell XPS DESKTOP and an HDMI TV.truenorthWhat's the plug on the TV, is it a standard VGA, or something else?

What are the other TV inputs? And what outputs do you have on your computer?Quote from: rthompson80819 on May 03, 2010, 05:29:36 PM

What's the plug on the TV, is it a standard VGA, or something else?

What are the other TV inputs? And what outputs do you have on your computer?
Yes, there is a standard VGA port for the normal blue monitor cables
There is also spots labled
PC/HDMI Audio IN
HDMI 1/2
and the standard ones for the cable.
Yes the TV is HD, and as far as I know, my video card is something like Radeon x1300 Lol
Thanks for the responses and any other ones.The TV will display until Windows begins loading. Once in Windows, you need to use the Catalyst Control Center (CCC, for ATI) or Windows display properties to activate and set the screen to what you want it to be.

If you want Windows to ALWAYS display on the TV first, and only on the TV, then set the OPTION with the TV as the primary monitor, and set it as single view.

If you want Windows to use your desktop monitor as the main and the TV as the second with a desktop that spans both screens, set the desktop monitor as the primary and select extended desktop mode.

If you want the same display on both the TV and the monitor, set the monitor as primary and select clone mode.Very helpful, thank you. I"ll have to try that next time ^^

Solve : Nvidia 197.16 known issue question?

Answer»

Every once in a while the Nvidia driver will stop working and either recover or I will get a blue screen with what seems to be memory range errors. On the device, however, it shows no conflicting devices or any other problem. The temperature is fine as usually it fails while idling. Strangely I've never had it fail while working. Could it be that its memory or the memory that it's sharing is bad somehow. Windows 7, any thoughts, perhaps solutions? More IMPORTANTLY, I'm wondering if multiple memory dumps/ blue screens could PERMANENTLY damage my system or card. This rarely happens so if it doesn't eventually lead down a "dead" END path, I'm fine with the error, but this seems horrible that so many people have this problem and it seems to be hardware or deep in someone else's software conflicting with nvidia and ATI, if it were their fault, they'd be able to FIX it fast : ( lol, I wish it were their fault.Did this start after you updated the driver? If so, roll back.Nope, it happened before.

Solve : Arnova help?

Answer»

I have an Arnova 10 G2 Tablet and the BOOK tells me to plug it into my USB Port and win 7. will open it up.

Then just Drag and Drop my MP3s to it and it all works and plays good.

But when I am in the Menu everything is out of order and I have a lot of MP3 music and songs and it takes for ever to get something.

So I plug it back into my USB port to SEE if I have to Sort By Name.
But it is already in order but just not when I am in my Arnova Menu?

Can anyone help thanks?On another forum a member had what i believe is the same issue and there seems to be a method within a menu option on the Arnova to do that. Please have a look and see if something you had not discovered is there. Alternatively there is an Arnova forum where users familiar with your product (which i am not) MAY be in a better position to help you. I am including LINKS to both.

Solve : Can't install my new graphics card.?

Answer»

I just received the GRAPHICS card I just ordered, EVGA GeForce 9800 GT, but I can't install it. I have the proper port, power supply, ROOM, and WHATNOT but it's the mounting bracket (correct name?). I'm not big with computer hardware so I didn't notice this when I got my computer for xmas of '08 but the mounting bracket (B) was bent outwards. They even went as far to wrongly install a switch or something (C) BACKWARDS.
What I would like to know is if I can just remove the cover (A) and have someone bend the mount (B) inwards or should I send it back into where I got it if possible? This is because I got it from iBuyPower which is located in CA and I'm in NY so I don't want to ship it out there and have to wait for it and I don't have the original box it came in about a year and a a half ago.

Thanks in advance,
~LuckyI don't think bending it is the answer, you should remove part A and the plate that blocks the hole. You should place the card so that the "tab" at the top of the backplate lies on B, insert the screw and replace part B.

I would recommend looking at part C to see how it is installed and copy that with the graphics card.Quote from: camerongray on May 04, 2010, 11:15:39 AM

Correct, except for bold above: "...replace part A.If you look at pic 1 exhibit A, you see the little screw im willing to bet you there is one on the bottom half of the case as well, if you remove both of the screws that bracket should COME off and you should be able to take the blanks out of the way and install your graphics card with out an issue >.< Good luck, hope you understand.

Solve : P7P55lx motherboard?

Answer»

I just bought a p7p55lx motherboard with an i5 650 3.2ghz processor and corsair xms3 ram their 2 - 4g sticksthe ram is compatable with the motherboard because i check the website and so is the cpu but my harddrive and video card is from my older computer the video card is about a year OLD it is a ATI 4350 pciex16 512mb. hard drive is a seagate 10,000 rpm sata 500gb power supple is new a blue star 580w. well the problem is i turned it on after putting it together and it comes to the screen where you can press delete to enter bios or or tap for post bios messages i tried the keys and can't get into bios the it goes to this scan devices screen and the only thing it reconizes is my old ide cdrom drive. it doesn't reconize an thing else i ALSO have a dvd burner that is sata that came off my older computer. any way it just sits at the scan devices until i turn the power off the i turn it back on at its the same routine some one help!!!!!i would disconnect everything except essentials { ram and video } and try to access bios. if that works try adding 1 device at a time.Does the HDD have a pre-existing OS installed to it ? ?
If so you will have issues.
Sometimes a Repair Install will get you there...depends on the OS.yes the exisiting hd have win xp sp3 32 bit i was going to WIPE it and put win 7 64 bit on it
I also tried unpluging everything except ram and video and still the same can't get into bios or press any keys for boot seqence . all it does is the same thing it was doing when everything was pluged in. it keeps going to scan for devices and it just keeps scaning to find dievices but never does
does your power supply have two 4pin atx connectors? i had problems before because i had wrong 4 pin plugged in to mb.
