First, read this thread (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread27079.html).

Second, it is normal to see the "no signal - self diagnostics" message when you remove the cable. That is a message that...

Please clarify what you mean when you say that it turns off. Does the monitor go into standby mode or does it completely power down? Once it's "turned off", how do you get it to turn on again?

It's very hard to understand what you want. If possible, please try separating your statements into sentences by using periods as appropriate.

I think I understand a little bit, but I'm not sure....

What graphics card is it?
What kind of connection does it have?

BILL S, you've talked about a very similar subject in two different places, making it hard to respond to your concerns.

You say that you have a 9250 and are disappointed by its performance. You...

Are you saying that no matter what is being shown on the screen, that it is all tinted green?

I'd leave it how it was. If you set it to max, you could see noticable slowdowns in your graphically-intensive games.

There are many things to consider when purchasing an LCD display: What size do you want?
What will be the primary use for the monitor: Gaming and video, productivity applications, detailed image...

The modern cards that have multiple outputs can only produce, at most, two separate screen renders. Some of the cards restrict the port usage to two at a time, and some allow all three to be used....

I think you are looking in the wrong places. The errors that you listed are related to issues with RAM. It would be my first guess that one of your RAM modules is defective/going bad.

Just because the fans are running doesn't mean that your boards and chips are being properly and adequately being cooled.

Did you run any of the tests that I mentioned?

Tom's Hardware Guide (http://www.tomshardware.com/) is an excellent site for catching up on the latest tech. The reviewers for that site are very thorough and often have benchmark comparisons to...

It sounds like you have an overheating issue.

Did you make any hardware changes before the problem started?

A good test to see if your case isn't ventilating properly is to open it up,...

If a 6800GT sucks, what is good?

I just built a machine with a 6600 in it, and I think the thing cooks. Maybe I'm just not a very good judge.

Windows Media Player (and many other players for that matter) uses screen overlays to produce most video renders. It would seem that the output that you are using to route through your VCR and TV...

Are you sure the monitor has the problem and not the system? If the system doesn't provide a signal, the monitor will stay in sleep mode.

Try the monitor on a different system (that works) in...

Wow... Just wow...

So let me understand.

1. You haven't even tried running the machine yet, but you are planning on upgrading it based on specs alone?
2. You spent $2500 (a rediculously large...

It is not the components that are the issue (at least, it's not that your system isn't powerful enough to handle L2), there is some other problem at work. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 1GB DDR333,...

Rogue is right.

From your description of the problem it would seem that you have an LCD monitor or a fairly large (>14") CRT.

If you have an LCD monitor, know that LCDs have what is called a...

The AGP slots are backwards compatible, so there shouldn't be any issues running an AGP4x card in an AGP8x slot. Read your motherboard's manual carefully to ensure that you have set everything up...

I'm just shooting in the dark here since I don't play WoW anymore, but I'm sure that, as they update the software, older systems will increasingly be unable to play the game. Your processor is fairly...

That is not correct. All t-hill666 needs is a DVI to VGA converter (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814999201). Most video cards that have DVI-I plugs come with them, but some...

Cell phones will frequently send data across the network in order to check for voice mail, updates, etc. This data transmission will often disrupt nearby electrical devices. When my cell phone...

The commonly used 4:3 resolutions are 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, and 1600x1200.

I don't think your power supply is the issue. If it was, you would get periodic system shutdowns not...

60hz is fairly low. I never run my monitors under 70hz since I notice flicker under that refresh rate. Are you sure that setting your refresh rate higher than 60hz doesn't address the issue?

Ouch... Sorry to hear about your monitor.

As for whether the plug can be easily fixed or not depends on the monitor. Some monitors have a cable plug on each end and can be removed from the monitor...

Aspect ratio is the relationship between the width and height of an image. With computers, you can think about aspect ratio as the relationship between the horizontal pixels and vertical pixels. Most...

Try running this command in the console:mat_dxlevel 90See if that changes the DirectX mode.

You can also add-dxlevel 90to the startup command in your shortcut to force it to load in 9.0 mode.

If you want to repair the unit, I would recommend sending it into Sony and letting them fix it professionally. Doing otherwise might cost you a bundle and still leave you with a busted laptop.

The laptop that you are receiving has a VGA port and a S-Video out. This means that you can hook it up to an external monitor or television. The 15" screen supports resolutions up to 1024x800, but...

You may want to ensure that it's the monitor and not something else. If you can, try your monitor on another machine and try another monitor on the affected machine. This will tell you if the problem...

I agree with CM. Unless you have a very specific reason for using a 64-bit version of Windows, stay away from it. The only reason you would have to run the 64-bit version right now is if you had...
