    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    Not sure if anyone still uses this monitor but mine is pretty much dead. Bought this monitor back in Jan '07 and now after about 3-5 minutes of use the image freaks out then shows static image of distorted colors. Of course this thing dies out after my extended warranty ran out. The best part of...

    This Is Why EVGA Is Great

    Complete opposite for me. Customer service was horrible. I don't doubt that you've had great service through them, just wish I had the same glowing experience. I now avoid them like the plague.

    Holy crap, it worked! Dead video card, resurrected!

    My 8800GTX went out on me again a few weeks back. Today I had a chance to recook it and now it's working again.

    Holy crap, it worked! Dead video card, resurrected!

    Oh wow, there's a possibility that I can save my old 8800GTX? By baking it??? Sorry, I haven't read through the entire thread; I just kinda randomly clicked on this thread and noticed that my 8800GTX was doing the same thing as the OP's 8800GTX. I'm going to try baking my card this weekend, hope...

    eVGA vs. ???

    I've had a great experience with XFX when my card died. They were quick to respond to my problem. Can't say the same with EVGA. I bought a 8800GTX from them due the glowing responses from [H] about their customer service but when my 8800GTX died they were the worst company I've ever had to...

    Computer won't boot with videocard installed.

    Unfortunately my board is a cheapy Intel with a single PCIe slot. Just tried the video card in my old computer that has a 700W PSU. Same results, the front case power light comes on but nothing is booting and there are no sounds of the hard drive. Looks to be a faulty video card. Bad luck...

    Computer won't boot with videocard installed.

    Thanks for the advice. I haven't tried the video card in my other PC yet so I'm not 100% sure if the video card is dead yet. If it's the PSU, I'll be able to take one from my other PC that's more powerful. Thanks again.

    Computer won't boot with videocard installed.

    I'm having an issue with my computer. I have a XFX 9800GT card and for some reason when I have the card installed the computer won't boot. I see the power light come on but it doesn't do anything; no fans, no harddrive access, not a sound. As soon as I pull the card it powers up just fine. I...

    where to get cheap sprint phone?

    If you aren't eligible to upgrade, I'd check Ebay. Usually you can find older Sprint phones for cheap. Just make should you buy one that works with Sprint (Sprint doesn't allow any phones that aren't Sprint branded). Also be sure to request the ESN of the phone from the buyer, then call...

    HTC Touch Pro

    Kinoma is great. It's what I use to play mp3s since the interface is very finger friendly. The only problem with Kinoma is that it defaults most file types like photos and movies to it without giving the user an option when it installs. You can switch everything back with an app like Total...

    HTC Touch Pro

    I kinda prefer the dedicated dpad on the Touch Pro instead of the extra screen space on the Touch Pro 2. I'm just going to wait until phones start including Nvidia's Tegra before I buy my next phone.

    HTC Touch Pro

    Double tapping the screen will either zoom in to where you tapped or zoom out to display the entire page. You can also use the touch sensitive ring around the center button to adjust the zoom. The VGA screen is sharp enough so that you can read most pages even if they're zoomed out.

    HTC Touch Pro

    I've had the Sprint Touch Pro since October. It's my first PPC and I'm not disappointed at all. The only major problem I've had with the phone is that the screen would turn on while in my pocket; it would constantly call out to random people because of that. The problem went away after I...

    HTPC Antivirus recommendations

    I'm running Vista x64 on a e6300 and even after I closed AVG in the taskbar, it still had left some processes lingering in the background keeping my comp always above 50%. I wish I didn't update to 8 since I never had a problem with AVG 7.5.

    HTPC Antivirus recommendations

    The new AVG 8 is horrible. It would keep my CPU above 50% when idle. I switched to Avira. It's free and isn't a resource hog.
