Hey all,

I was asked a question and I had no idea what the answer was and made up some story about information being stored incorrectly in the memory of the laptop or some such thing. Honestly, I had no idea what the answer was, so I'm hoping someone here does.

Often times, while running windows, the desktop icons or the desktop will go black. When you mouse over where the icons are supposed to be, they appear, and the desktop appears while moving the mouse as if it's being painted. What causes that? Is it the the windows cache, physical memory, or something else?

hehehe.... so Team A won this now twice, score 2-0 for Team A, someone should alert the OP of this game to update the scoreboard on page 1. Sorry Dingbats and Co, this game is now yours to win all by yourself, I am also done, at least for a very long while.

Three times we've won

Easy way to find a bad motherboard, look at the capacitors (cylindrical circuits with flat tops) and make sure the tops are flat. If they are bubbled up or leaking, it may be your motherboard. Have you tried opening and tinkering with it recently? I've also seen this occur with a loose CPU. Make sure the CPU is placed correctly.

Also, try removing as much as you can from the computer. If you have an onboard video card, take out your video card and use the onboard. Run with as little memory as you can, disconnect and DVD/CD drives, basically as much as you can take out and still theoretically have it still work and try booting it up.
