My thoughts exactly... the one modem supports traffic for 4 floors of this building... it seems a bit much... but, if you bump the cable just a little in the modem, it goes totally dead... this time...

Was doing a minor wireless network for a boarding house... there is one cable modem (a motorolla surfboard) for broadband cable internet access... the ethernet cable goes from there to a Netgear dual...

Alright, so when you go into the BIOS, are you able to see the hard drive in there? My guess is that this Laptop used an EIDE drive rather than a newer SATA drive, so make sure of that. Also, if...

I believe it is actually called the ccnp... not exactly sure. You're ahead of me there, anyway. If you could find a little tech college somewhere you could get some nice coursework. Either that or...

So the machine starts up but you have no video output? no beeps or anything, I'm assuming...

Perhaps you should try reseating the memory to try fixing the video output. Otherwise, try to find a...

You won't notice. Your dsl is probably something like 3mbps down, 750kbps up or something like that, so unless you do a lot of internal file sharing, you won't notice a slow down on the internet.

Assuming your DSL comes in to a modem, you can get a Linksys WRT54G (the base model by Linksys) and that should give you decent wireless.

They have all kinds of wireless routers...

What kind of card is it? You should try to test it in a different machine to make sure it's not bad.

You could probably reinstall steam on the portable hard drive and install all the local content for the games there as well. Try that.

As for a hard drive, I would suggest upgrading to a SATA...

You could always just replace the PSU and run the system bare minimum (cpu, ram, video) and see if it all works. Then add the other add-on cards, drives, etc and see if it all works. It sounds like...

I would remove the old PSU as soon as possible. Having a damaged power supply can lead to other components getting damaged as well. The PSU in my mind is the most important part of the computer. ...

So I switched the printer to another computer with the same model that was working... the printer still would not print, and therefore I think it is a failure on the printer's part. I suppose I will...

I have an Epson receipt printer which Windows detects as an Epson TM-P2.01. It has worked fairly well, but it is suddenly not working anymore.

Every time a print job is sent to the device, it...

My card is a Sapphire HD3850 and in overdrive it says the same thing. I think with mine it cuts the core speed in half down there. I do not think it is a problem.

When you opened the case to clean the heatsink did you remove the heatsink to clean it? If not, I would reseat the heatsink to be sure.

I had a computer that kept getting BSODs which ended up being because of a bad memory slot. I had run a memtest earlier which hadn't picked up anything wrong with the memory. I ended up taking the...

Alright. The solution worked perfectly. Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for the reply. I will be trying this solution within the hour and I'll tell ya how it goes.

Thanks again! :icon_smile:

Ahh. Sometimes the most recent drivers can be unstable. But if you've already tried... How about reinstalling the game?

Have you tried different drivers for your GPU?

May be power. That is a big card.

Hey everyone.

I work at a library and I have some public access computers for searching our catalog with internet explorer. I want the user to not be able to close this internet explorer window,...

maybe the back light in your LCD died? Have you tried an external monitor to the d-sub (or DVI) port?

I have this old Hewlett Packard 830C inkjet and lately it's been printing gibberish...

that is to say, it will print a page with a few lines of something that looks like wingdings (the weird font...

if you open up your case your power supply should have a label on it that tells how much power it can put out in watts.

There should be a function key combination to press (Fn key with some F key.)

that should turn on an LCD that has been deactivated. Try that and see what happens.

Sounds like hard drive or memory problem...

Probable hard drive...

if you can boot from a cd still try getting some hard drive testing software and making either a bootable floppy or a bootable...

I went to newegg.com and used their wattage calculator and put in your specs (approx.) and it returns a recommended PSU of 373 watts... now you have a 400 but 400 is the maximum output.

So it...

When you say you downloaded all the recent drivers for you computer/motherboard does that include the windows updates?

Curious... what is the wattage of your power supply?

If it is the video card I believe you will not be able to replace it (I think these things are attached to the motherboard, but I'm no expert).

Get these a lot on daniweb, and this is usually one...

No beeps on startup?

I was going to point a finger at your memory but...

I'd still take out your memory and put it back in and try again.

Intel has the fastest processors but they are generally more expensive. If price is not an issue I would get the huge QX6850 quad core (or whatever's on top right now)

if you...

Assuming you live in the united states, this website will be your best friend.

I would recommend going with AMD processors (so an AMD compatible motherboard would be in order.
...

Emphasis on the low power over here...

What's the wattage on the power supply?

Yeah I used to play guild wars :D

5200 worked well for it (up from integrated video :) ).

Then I upgraded to an ATI x1600...

Yeah overclocking from 350 to 600 core doesn't seem that safe. You may have seen reviews on the net that say that card can be overclocked like crazy but you could really damage it going that high.

That driver looks like it is for your igp, have you tried that one?

With the 5200 I could play css on medium settings; it wasn't a terrible card, (40 fps average medium settings at 1024x768)

I wouldn't know what to expect from the 6200 however, since it is PCI and...

So hold on, all you have is a regular PCI slot? (the older PCI slot)?

If so, I suppose it's not a bad choice.

I've never owned a 6200 however, I've gone through the 5200, the 6800, and now the...

Did you install this driver after you plugged in the new monitor or before?
