Re: vga--no input signal?

How are they connected to the computer? Is it PS2 or USB? Is it directly or through a USB hub etc?

Re: Can I modify my BIOS to ignore Fan?

It'll only recognize the speed if this new fan is plugged into the Power Supply fan socket on the motherboard.

Re: New monitor.

All games produced after 2006 tend to have widescreen support; but I know what you mean. Games like BF2 are not widescreen etc.

Re: Can I modify my BIOS to ignore Fan?

Well if there's option on the bios then it's probably a case of lumping it or like many others in this thread have, fixing it yourself! Try and find some specs on the fan and then just try it!

Re: Monitor directly to sleep mode at boot up

Maybe a lack of power? Is your PSU capable of powering your new card?

RE: the error with the bios; you should post that elsewhere as it's probably related to a hardware issue.

Re: No signal?!?! Core 2 duo?!?!

So simple, but the correct way of troubleshooting.

Take everything out and identify the problem - Asus mobo's seem to be particularly picky when things fail! :(

Re: New monitor.

Well for a pricetag of ~ $440 you could get rather a lot!

You could even get a 22" LG L226WTX-BF for about $370 on Amazon.com; and that's a pretty nice monitor.

If you do really want a 19" then the...

Re: Gf Fx5200 256mb Ddr Tv Dvi Pci (7)

Out of that list, I would've thought the ATi X1300 would be the best bet. If you could find a PCI version of that in full form then that would do you.

Or you could upgrade your motherboard and use a...

Re: How do I turn my laptop monitor into my desktop monitor????

Flickering sounds like the backlight has died (if you can still see the desktop behind it).

What's your laptop model?

Dodgy GPU or screen connectors. Flickering is never a good sign so send it back!

Re: Own Torrent Homepage!

I'd suggest finding a torrent sharing script if you're not too sure about it.

Then you would have a fully functional script, and just need to focus on the design.

Re: My computer does not detect my hard drive

Okay - so a couple of things.

If so, go into the bios and check that all of the IDE devices...
