    Install video card and sound drivers only without control panel/control center.

    I am looking for a way to customize driver installations so that only the dirvers are installed and not the customized application that comes with many of them. Like I would like to install NVIDIA video card driver only without the NVIDIA service and control panel. I also want to do so for...

    Are 2 dedicated 120V 15 amp circuit breakers enough for my basement computer lab

    I used the watt meter on my APC UPS to measure the load of each system individually. The readings were lower than I thought they would be for most of the systems. Almost all the systems idled at less than 100 watts according to the UPS watt meter on my APC UPS. Most of them did not even reach...

    Are 2 dedicated 120V 15 amp circuit breakers enough for my basement computer lab

    I am going to use them to enhance my existing IT skills and learn lots of new IT skills in a variety of different ways. I am going to simulate different network, servers, and workstations situations with different operating systems.

    Are 2 dedicated 120V 15 amp circuit breakers enough for my basement computer lab

    I have a bunch of computer equipment that I am going to hook up in my basement. Me and my Dad are going to install 2 new dedicated 15 amp circuit breakers with one electrical outlet for each one. Now, will 2 of them be enough power to power all of my equipment? I have 17 computers (some new...

    Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R motherboard randomly powers off and then on

    My system will occasionally power off and then power right back on. It does this just randomly for no apparent reason. Specs: *Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 overclocked to 3Ghz (375 * 8) *Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R motherboard updated to the latest F12 BIOS *2 2GB DIMMs of Geil DDR2 800MHz memory...

    Can I plug as many devices into a 12 outlet surge protector as long as

    So, if Tripp Lite Surge Supressors at NewEgg say they are rated for 15 amperage, and the Belkin ones do not say what they are rated for, is it safe to assume that the Belkin ones would not handle 15 amps at 120 Volts, while the Tripp Lite ones would?

    Can I plug as many devices into a 12 outlet surge protector as long as

    the outlet I am plugging it into is on it's own circuit and all the devices I plug into it do not exceed 1800 watts of power draw. I come to this conclusion because an outlet is rated at 15 amps at 120 volts and 120 * 15 is 1800 watts. Is this all I should be concerned about, or are some...

    Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R Motherboard Q-FLash won't detect USB flash drive

    It says in the manual that I can update the BIOS with the built in Q-Flash utility using a USB flash drive or a floppy. However, it can never detect anything but a supposed floppy drive. I don't want to put a floppy drive in my computer and want to be able to update with a USB flash drive using...

    Pulse 1012 Network Interface Card Smoothwall driver

    I have an Ethernet Network Interface Card card that says Pulse 1012 on it, but I can't seem to find any driver for it, let alone a Linux driver for SmoothWall. It is a PCI card. I did a search on Yahoo and Google, and can't seem to find who makes this card or any actual place to download a...

    Dell Precision Workstation 220 Power Supply.

    I have a Dell Precision Workstation 220 system that won't turn on. I have concluded it is the power supply because I swapped out a power supply form another Dell Precision Workstation 220 and it worked, I also tried the failed PSU in the other working Precision Workstation 220 and it didn't...

    Is there a way to do this

    Can the remote control be set to program the TV and cable box at the same time with the power button set to turn on/off both the television and cable box at the same time. And the channel numbers and channel up and down button just set to change the channels on the cable box only, but not the...

    Is there a way to do this

    My grandma just got an HDTV and a cable box. She seems to be lost with how to turn the box and TV on as they arenot the same thing. Is there a way to make it operate like a regular TV with a single remote control so that a single power button on the remote control will turn on and off both...
