It was working just fine until last night. I realized I couldn't access my drive today, so I rebooted the system and still no go. When I plug the external drive in, it would spin up, then it would click several times and the spindle turns off. Computer does not recognize the drive at all...

I lost one of my adapters (had one for home, one for taking it to places and stayed in my bag) and I bought one online, from a vendor called www.newmp3technology.com Update: August 2010: From the way it looked inside and out, I believed it is counterfeit. It was sent to HP for...

Is there a software that allows GPU utilization like we can see CPU utilization in Windows task manager? I'd like to be able to check on graphical tasks the computer is performing is being handled by video card or not. For example, if I'm playing back H.264 item on YouTube, and have...

I got an ATI x1550 sold as Diamond Stealth 512MB AGP for my older desktop. It has H.264 decoding capacity, but apparently hardware acceleration of H.264 videos in Flash platform is not supported with the new Flash 10.1 I mainly use Flash based contents and don't play FPS games. So, what...

Every couple of weeks, I have to change my WiFi channel. I would be surfing the web fine one night, put it on my night stand and go to sleep and when I go to use it in the morning, my access point shows 5/5 signal strength, but it would not connect at all. When I click on the access...

I have USB2.0 ports on my computer through an Adaptec Duo 3020 Firewire/USB2.0 combo card. I just added an external hard drive and after being infuriated by how slow it is, I discovered the mere presence of other devices slow down every ports. The "mass storage device" on far right...

I have a Logitech V450 laser mouse with 2.4GHz radio and it's constantly having problem with poor connection. Even after relocating receiver to different USB ports, it continues to randomly fail to register clicks and jumpy pointer. I didn't have this problem with my 27MHz band Logitech...

Cleared cache and cookies and that fixed it once, but I'm having a problem again. Unless I enable "remember me" I don't even get to "Welcome, pwnt., you last visited..." . I keep looping back to user name/password boxes. Anyone else having the same issue?

I have Applain FLV player and whenever I put it in full screen, I can't get out of it. Every control except the "windows key" becomes disabled and I can't even get the control bar to pop up once it disappears. I believe the issue is with the mProjector base and it's mentioned in their FAQ and...

I have a defunct HP ZE2000 that does not turn on at all. Previous owner states it just quit working. What failure would cause that? Battery + adapter are both good.

I remember in 1997 or so, I had a 233 MHz Pentium computer. In 2002 ish, I got a 2GHz AMD based computer. There's no way I could have used the 233MHz rig in 2002, but in 2008, I'm still using the 2GHz computer with Windows XP2 and other than very graphics intensive game, I can still do...

I bought my tube on eBay and I have a slight suspicion it might be fake. It has Play-dough like consistency and it's much more difficult to spread compared to Arctic Alumina or the older AS and AS2. Is this consistent with the properties of genuine AS5?
