sorry i've been gone for so long from this website, but my new laptop idk what happened got some sorta virus/trojan idk. I run spysweeper, nav, zonealarm. I installed spybot today from...

I sent you the PM back, but in case other people are wondering, your card probably is over heating. You can either add more fans to your case, or buy a better heatsink for it. I use this one on my...

It seems to be an agp graphics slot.

Your computers motherboard is limited to 128 sticks being the largest size it can recognize. You could have it work with 4 128 sticks to get 512, but a 256 stick will not work.

I do not know of any hardware that would do this. However, there is software that will do this. http://www.faronics.com/html/product.asp offers a program called deepfreeze. Many schools/universities...

Try and reinstall the drivers for your video card. Also, download spyware programs and run them, and lastly, try and stay away from any "free" software like that. They usually are bundled with...

The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs

Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the...

Well, atleast that wasn't completly useless. You may have something wrong with your hard drive, thats why you have bad sectors in your hard drive. You could try a format and reinstall, but it...

You need the real disks...

Did you plug in your monitor into your video card? Then disable onboard video in your bios. You should then be fine.

Put that hard drive in another computer as a slave hard drive. Check out the folders of your computer for your files. Hopefully they will still be there

Is your computer a laptop or a desktop? Did you try adjusting the brightness/contrast on the monitor? Was it working before you installed the drivers? Did you install the correct drivers?

I dont get the point either :shrugs:

Did you get a warrenty? It sounds like your drive is damaged or dead. Gateway should replace it under warrenty. Also, you may wish to try and clean the lens with the special cleaners you can get for...

No offense, but if you searched the forum, you would have seen i posted a solution to this about a year ago....

I think it may be your monitor. Test another monitor to be sure though.

Did you build your computer yourself or was it a store bought branded computer?

This maybe caused by many things.

If you had a ram problem run a program called memtest86. Located here: http://www.memtest86.com/memtest86-3.2.iso.zip

However, i do not think this is why your...

Yes you can, but it would only do anything for you if you are running more than one monitor. Typically, with 2 pci cards, it is easier if they are different brands. I am not sure that an agp and a...

Have you scanned for spyware or viruses lately? Have you got the latest windows updates/ and latest drivers your laptop manufacturs website?

Was this in a brand computer such as hp, dell, etc...or was it a build you or someone else did.

Its a virus/spyware. I searched it in google. DO NOT USE IT. Try and remove it and run virus scans and spyware scans. You got it most likely by clicking on a banner or popup.

Heat...heat...heat. Sounds like it is overheating. Have you opened it up and blown out all of the dust lately with compressed air? If you havent, maybe you should try that. Especially get the...

Did you try a new mouse?

what kind of power supply was it. Just because it is 500 watts doesnt mean its a quality one.

Its called extended dual monitors. Cloned is where both are the same. It is up to the graphics card, not the os.

I have never found it to be a driver problem when i have had to fix similar problems. I have fixed the problem sometimes by putting in a new keyboard. But when this did not work, i would have to...

Just plug in the compaq monitor into your tell's blue vga out port in the back or side of the laptop. Then you will need to tell your laptop to use the screen. Normally you can do something similar...

Nope that sounds perfect. You really cant get faster than that. Just make sure you use dual channel memory and you should be set :)

DDR2 Ram isnt that much faster, if any at all. It may appear so because they have "faster clock rates", but the fact that most DDR2 ram has such high latencies, they about equal out with DDR ram with...

Look in the device manager and under universal serial bus controllers. If you find a device that says enhanced host controller you have usb2. If you do not see this you do not have it.

Another way to fix this is to disable checking floppies on shutdown in your antivirus program. (incase someone else has this problem too)

Ok...that was with one piece of software. How about several different programs now for a more accurate comparison?

Get a mac and you cant customize your computer...

yes, my dell is fn f2. Also, check and make sure wireless in enabled in your bios. Check along the sides of the case for a switch though also, some have the switch too.

usually they are just a molex connector (ie the 4 pin connector that your cd rom and hard drive connect with.) Did you try that connector?

My question is will the magnetic fields generated by everyday objects or the elecronics within a computer cause some errors in magnetic memory? What about your computer sitting next to your big crt...

No, by a whole new unit, i meant the whole screen (lcd, inverter, cables etc all together already).

It is likely just the inverter that produces the backlighting. I have found though that sometimes if you take the screen and rotate it as far down as it can go (so the laptop is completly flat) it...

Do you know the model of your computer?
