Dell Optiplex gx280

for one thing its to old to spend money on ,I just recently repalced 2[with newer used one ] of these for customers of mine, they had similur issues as yours ,one had a bad psu and the other one had leaky capsators .

where ever they fit is where i put harddrives
the ssd hdd has no moving parts so you could put that anywhere you want

I agree with ronald577 ,go to video device manufactor web site and get latest drivers

it might/should fit,most case are a standard width ,but if you are looking for ultimate cooling i would suggest a bigger case, as the link is showing a micro-atx case ,not much space in them for moving air for effincent cooling

yes the bottom 2 are for floppy drives or card readers ,
it been awhile but ise to put harddrive in those slots,try them upside down[the data wont fall off .lol] and see if the holes line up , drill some new holes maybe ,of course remove the motherboard first as not to get metal chips on the board

my brain is not functioning right lately ,I though
if you are browsing ,then you already got past the password !!!

to those postes who like win8 so much [i like win8 also but have never used mac os1o ] ,what did you not like about OS10 mountian lion, Iam thinking of getting a MAC and would like your imput ,thank you

I have a Dell laptop now that's totally locked in a lsass exe loop.. An so far the only way I see it can be fixed is to have the disk or buy one to recover your pc. I THINK THIS IS ALL DONE BY WINDOWS TO GET PEOPLE TO SPEND $ ON RECOVERY DISKS AN PRODUCT KEYS. It's all a scam.

not true ,you do not have to buy any disk ,you should have created recovery disk when you bought the lDell new ,and if you didn'y contact Dell and they will send you disk ,charging a small fee maybe ,has nothing to do with Windows[Microsft ]

i know the reason you/we post mmcdonald,just making a comment,
but really ,the op's post its sounds more like a comment than a question ,and im sure that most people who want to become a network admin already know the things they need do to become one

Boy "the there is not dumb question" theory is sure getting a workout on Daniweb lately

Assist myself I highly recommend you.

never heard of it till now .

if you cleaned the thermal paste[not glue]off the cpu chip you will need to replace with new paste or you willhave overheating and could damage the cpu

to ping ,open the same admin promt you did before ,and just type in ,ping www.google.com ,hit enter

ok

hi,we needmore info ,like what version of windows and make and model # of the laptop,what game they were playing ect ect

Things that drive me insane: the start menu is not there, the windows button brings you to the apps. .

yeah that what was in the old start menu pluss a few other things ,that you can now get to by right clicking on the start icon that pops up in the lower left corner .different but not so hard .

It is hard to get the pop out menu to appear to shut down ,and for the other settings .just go to the start screen and start typing in settings ,and see what you will find .

i fixed the shutdown by adding it to the desktop right click options .

OH yeah and i know you only poster to add the link in your post ,but hey maybe someone else will be able to use from my suggestions

maybe its just too far and keeps loosing the connection ,if you right click o nthw wireless icon in the right lower corner by the clock ,click on trouble shhot problems and see what happens

My computer is just so far from the router that I was trying to go wireless.

mistyblue ,best to start you own thread and state your problem with some info like the make and model of the computer ,what windows its running and what type of mouse ,usb or ps2 ect ect
thank you

im liking the new Daniweb the more i use it ,like everything i guess

After all these years and Dani finally found the floral button ,lol

have never liked chat forums since Yahoo chat in the 90's
i don't mind change so i guess i'll get use to it

do you mean 4-5 miles[m=meters] if so just use www.google.com you should find info on what you are looking for .

of 4-5m distance

He said it's a USB headset. It may well have it's own soundcard.

never new that ,old as the[little] hills and still learning .

hi welcome to daniweb ,you use usb headset to hear the sound,so the onboard audio still workes just not the speaker plugin correct ,did you check volume control option to make sure that the speakers are set as the default player

hi and welcome to daniweb,not sure how old the laptop is but they do build up with dust on the inside and need a good cleaning ,if its older and never been cleaned .it will need to be taken apart to get it really clean

sleep is a feature i never use so i have never had problems with it ,so i suggest to people ,unless you are using a laptop away form a powwer source and really need the extra battery life ,just turn the sleep feature off in power options .

did you try hitting the enter key or pushing the power button in for a second or 2

i feel little bit difficult when am explore some thing and it is unlike of win 7.

because its win8 not win7 some people are best to stay with win7

my the spam links in your signature have grown ,

this is my number (08022964564)

and to think most people think of themself as #1

I know we have to give the benfit of the dought ,but so many frist time posters who don't have a specific question, go no where !!

OP .was just a link spammer or a lead up to the link spammer Nytinmor i do believe,so don't hold you breath waiting for a reply

hi i dont think LED screens have back lighting like the old lcd screens hd ,the are lit from the edge to the center i think ,and i don't thing its replaceable , ,but i could be wrong

try going into tools and internet option again an set security and privacy to default ,and as already said try firefox or chrome browsers

give a bootable antivirus a try ,boot computer with a internet connection so you can run the antivirus updates before you run it
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Kaspersky-Rescue-Disk.shtml

you could try this ,
Go to the IE ,open tools option in the menu bar, select "internet options" from the drop down. Go to the "Advanced" tab and click on the Reset button below.

if that makes no difference try this ,
changed the following under tools>internet options>connections, LAN settings unchecked the Automatically detect settings, close IE and try again in both cases

dont take it personal , you don't need a phone ,you said that yourself,so don't wast money just to keep up with the jones's when you go out ,your not even working !! you sound like my Daughter still in university and working part-time ,and has a I-phone , she bought out her BlackBerry contract and got the i-phone[different carrier ] ,now shes cool ,and to save her credit rating im out $340.00 for the blackberry ,now at 60 i look cool ,lol
bye bye flip phone

no point in even considering buying a smart phone if you don't plan on using it very often ,to get full use out of it you would need a cell package with data and they are not cheap ,so in my opinion ,just a wast of your money to even be consitering buying a smart phone .most of the phones in your link are 400 dollars
the price of the first phone in you list ,is based on a 2 year contract with the seller ,and all kinds of conditions .

I have the same story. I turn on my Gateway p-78 and don't see anything on display. I hear the fans and see the lights, but no sound or video. Attaching it to display though HDMI, removing the battery, disconnecting the power and holding the power button for 30 seconds don't do the thing. I tried to turn it on for about 10 times and then it turned on, but the next day it starts all over again.

time to take the laptop in for service

because it come and goes ,i would buy a new keyboard ,assuming it not a laptop ,as they are a little more expensive ,just to try to see if it make a difference

your desktop works so its not a router problem ,is the laptos wifi turned on,most laptops have a on\off buttor or key combonation to turn the wifi on ,,not knowing what brand and model the laptop is its harder to help .

i would have my laptop wiped of the OS and returned to factory default ASAP.
back up important data first .

not sure if im 100% correct ,but i think most reciets are printed/generated from a point of sale program

hi,Dose it make the sounds that its booting up , ,, if you shine a flashlight on the screen can you see your dresktop ,if you have a regular computer monitor ,you can hook it to the vga port on the laptop and see if it shows your desktop on the monitor ,

short short long is usually video

question was what does the virus attack first ,just saying

hello and welcome to daniweb ,the answer is no, it will wipe what ever drive you choose and if your not carefull it could wipe the whole computer if a wrong selection was made ,
most people who just want to try/play around with linux use a virtual drive software ,the software runs with in win7 and you can use bot linux and win7 at the same time ,i have used Oracle virtualbox software ,not using any at thing this time ,you install oracal vb then download a .iso file of the linux of choice ,run VMbox and direct it to the downloaded linux .iso file location and go from there ,good luck
Orcale vM

hello ,never heard of matlab till just now ,so i don't know how to use it but if i was wanting to learn how, i would start by searching the internet on "how to use matlap software" like this search with google.com, good luck
'how to use matlab software

Im no virus expert but i do know that would all depend on what the virus was built to do !

hello, you could use a bootable virus recover cd ,you can downlod and make the disk on another computer and boot the sick computer to it ,make sure that the sick computer is wired to the internet so you can run the update before you run the scan .
i use this one before with success .good luck
rescue disk

i thought there might be a performance issue as well so i googled and found a lot of info of course ,like this link about performance issue ,as it says with the newer bigger drive of today it hardly an issue anymore
slower

that the same way i do it ,it all goes to the same storage spot as when it was created

i guess if you got some milk to ferment it is good ,

hello and welcome to daniweb ,have you got a problem that needs an answer .??
