if youre running from youre desired sound card and just wanted to disable your old sound (intergrated i assume) then that would not have been the case. what you can do is to set your BIOS to its defaults and go check in device management for a sound settng's properties to enable (sound icon).should work fine again.
that is if the drivers is installed

I dont hav time to google around and track down if this is a gt5252 known prob. doing what ill do before running to conclusion. but hey you were a victim so....but lets see first. I can do with 5 dollars I starving for a snack

can you boot from a OS disk??

magic converter:converts movies in any format to any output format.
Very user friendly,quick to use.Try it youll love it

thats a good start.but my actual intentions for you to try and remember what changes you made before this started to begin
??

my bad guess I felt lonely...
do you run the install in windows or from bootup.
??

seems you a pro in that part but dis one is not giving in easily huh.have you tried another monitor??normal pc one? have you thought about lcd and other power source cables being firm intact.can only be one of the that seeing youre always doing youre good soldering joby

it all comes down to what your pc can take you sdram ddr,sdram ddr2 and sdram ddr3. speeds varies as the types varies.ive discovered recently that ddr can be faster than ddr2 depending on the actuall speed in mhz etc. a wise move for you is to check what type of memory your mobo can work with.get a hold of that dusty mobo manuel or google your mobo model specs all info will jum in your face. if you need help im just a post away.

Hey There
Hehe
I know exactly what youre talking about, I did a favour for a buddy the other day sata would show its detection in BIOS and in RAID at startup but once you actually wanna install the OS you cant see the disk. Workaround:enable raid for sata in bios but your raid drivers should be installed once thats done you can run from raid disks

i dont know of an app that can do that trick im sure there is.y dont you just spare yourself the delay if you like and do it the easy way instead
??

good.cos what i was about to suggest was to open it and that would void the warranty.just take it back to your dealer and let them short it out

what happens when you start your machine?

can you go in through safe mode??tap f8 a number of times untill you get a list of options "safe mode" is one of the options select safe mode.
??

-remove cmos leave out for 10-15 minutes replace...same results?
-remove all ram turn on...does your pc scream for attention??post results before buying new mobo

go into BIOS intergrated peripherals in there youll be able to disable your sound and onboard display

about

sure it is cos its intergrated both works independently. are you comfortable with laptops,have you opened you lappy before

reason for the strange behaviour is cos you have no drivers installed for sound and graphics I guess you dont have a driver cd
heres wot you do:
1)if youre using a graphics and sound card give me the full names printed on the cards and ill direct you to the drivers
2)if its intergrated(meaning onboard not pci cards) then give me your mobo model and manufacturer
??

try gdb NTFS its a free tool that recovers all deleted files on the disk.it can take a lifetime to recover but believe me youll see files thats ancient on that disk
I dont know where to find it but try a google on it let me know how it went

sounds like malware try this in safe mode

download trend micro's DOS application here (2.1MB) and the two essential pattern files namely lptXXX and sspdaX_XX(X means latest versions)witch you can find at the same site

extract/install the DOS application and the files in a temp folder(all inthe same folder) in the root of local disk,now go into safe mode and run the DOS application
??

MRT is also a gr8 tool I dont have the path for it at the moment but try the above if that fails let me know

format the disk in another machine and try again
??

Hey, I have a similar problem with my home edition. But it's wierd because my graphic driver is installed, but it still acts as though I have no graphic card. And I went to dell.com to download the missing drivers but even after i follow all the required steps for download and instalation, It acts as though i havn't installed a single thing.

that is common for when you install a driver and theres already a driver installed. causing the one driver to not get its way.if thats the cave with your machine uninstall the older one

and when you use a ps/2USB keyboard? does it work??

make it easy for yourself by 'backtrackking' to your last actions.without you realising it something was done to cause this behaviour
??

obviously with gr8 specs and sp1 vista should run fine.vista demands performance, the OS itself absorbs ram,cpu ussage etc. conflict comes when you wanna play games like crysis etc.so if you have gr8 specs whats there not to like about vista

ohk personally I never work on monitors cause of the dangers as you know. youll find someone here that will be willing to give you that creepy info.not my style i wanna live thats why I just buy a new one on companies expense
So I believe you swopped the monitors to see if the prob is indeed the monitor

10 months thats like forever without a pc. ohk lets try somethin else in the mean time can you track down your mobo name written on the board

Can be but do this first.Virus check-good applicattion

download trend micro's DOS application here (2.1MB) and the two essential pattern files namely lptXXX and sspdaX_XX(X means latest versions)witch you can find at the same site

extract/install the DOS application and the files in a temp folder(all inthe same folder) in the root of local disk,now go into safe mode and run the DOS application
??

[still the same??]...

ohk dont worry about the cmos checksum error,as long as your cmos is properly seated all is fine.what you can do now in your BIOS set all to defaults.
As for the keyboard still being in its current morbid state,try a USB keyboard if its easy for you to obtain one just for testing. Im thing PS\2 for mouse controller thats corrupted. but try a usb so long if it works get your new OS and check after install if its behaving better when ps2 is attached
??

hey there and welcome

is there any processos running in task manager that eats up cpu usage. you can run a chkdsk and virus scan and check how it behaves after that
??

I bought a new HD yesterday and are going to make my machine dual BOOT xp/vista. So thats a first vista step for me

those are actually all good/recent graphics cards it will all just depend on what your mobo will support.for further help give your pc specs [monbo model in specific]

last time I checked nvidia's driver suite works on most cards almost like all in one

you are still getting a BSOD because your system is still trying to boot from your hard drives old windows install.
Good Luck

the bsod can still accure when booting from cd though.

if wdigitallocksmith's info doesnt turn out to help you you might wanna format your hard drive in another machine and install your OS while putting the drive back as master in your own machine
??

reading your post and realising that great minds think alike[monitor is running towards end of days].Most likely the case.Ive never heard of a Graphics card thats causing your monitor to behave like this but than again it doesnt mean that its impossible. you can try a graphics card just for testing if indeed its the monitor. Before buying a new monitor do run that test first

Yip thats the initial setup of forums but then again these type of things happen all the time. maby we just into much of a hurry for a reply

yah thats well said if your pins is bent or broken or your graphics card isnt in right then this will result.so do check for the above
??

hi there
ohk heres what you can do that will eliminate some questions that I wanted to ask you. Remove everythink from your board including
-cd/dvd drives
floppy
-other external cards ie sound card
etc
except your ram and display card(graphics card)
Remove your cmos for 10+ minutes (power diconnected)
Now replace cmos and connect power with monitor cables [leave other hardware disconnected just ram and display card connected] and start machine up
Tip: If you have a camera phone take a photo of your machines layout before you remove anything
??

Hi there
what your saying is that its almost as if your contrast is set to dark resulting in you not being able to see whats going on

Ola Friend
welcome
Did you try the display card in a buddies pc to see if it behaves the same to determine if it is indeed the card.thats the best way to find the prob and solution
??

eighter there isnt enough power on your mobo to supply to your LCD
OR
Somewhere there some connections that doesnt connect properly
OR
alternatively your lcd has had its day

[Try the simple fix first like plugging a normal pc monitor into your lappy]

I think we lost him

Try these
Usually this is the point where you screwed,
but try this

Welcome Nanino

Seems to me the problem your experiencing is hardware related.power failures can be a pain in the bud.lets just hope that all parts is still working.
Heres what you do open computer box and remove the cmos battery for five to ten minutes put it back in after that and restart computer.
[attached file shows cmos]

ohk aunistly I didnt read your whole post, however I found that read that whenever you install your sound driver you get a system that doesnt perform right,right?
is the drivers that you installed the drivers that you got when youve purchused the mobo or did you downlload the drivers. sounds like driver confliction thats causing the pain on your system.
Also can you give me your full system specs when posting your answer

Hey Bud wotz up
Ohk heres what you do.Open machine (only when you comfortable working inside) and disconect your fan.Run the fan at normal power(meaning not connected to lappy) If the fan runs well under good whilest connected straight to electricity than you fan is not broken,means theres lack of power(witch I doubt)However if the fan doesnt work throughout the staraight power connection than you should buy a new one

Not really an 'IT-quote' but:

like that

My signiture serves me whenever I have a computer related prob as well

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address,
you turn down the volume on the radio?

thats so true yet so weird
