Hi, I am trying to use the integrated sound in my monitor but not having much luck. Specs are as in title, it's a Sapphire 4850 btw. I am using a DVI to HDMI converter on the back of the card, which I then plug my HDMI cable into that runs to the W2207h. I have the latest Catalyst drivers...

I have a problem where recursive DNS lookups are taking a long time. My setup is, Windows/Active Directory DNS on the internal network, and BIND forwarders on the DMZ. The Windows hosts resolve internal queries themselves, and for things not on the local network (DMZ or Internet) they do...

I'm trying to install Hyper-V on Server 2008 R2, but not having much success. In order to get around the requirement that all server OS's go through our outsourcing contractor, I am trying to build a Hyper-V setup on a desktop. This is necessary to support some development efforts, we are...

Hi, I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 on a HP Compaq 8100 Elite Small Form Factor. It has a Core i5-760 installed with 16GB of RAM and 2 1TB WD Green drives installed in it. I can go into the BIOS and change the SATA type from AHCI to RAID, and then access the RAID Setup during...

It's a basic single core Athlon with only 1GB of RAM and XP Home, but hey it's a computer with a 20" monitor for less than $300. Oh yeah and free shipping! http://www.buy.com/prod/Acer-eMachines-EL1300G-02w-w-20-Inch-Widescreen-LCD-Desktop-AMD-Athlon/q/loc/101/213484144.html?adid=17992 For...

I'm looking to assist a friend with a PC purchase. She wants to buy now that Windows 7 is out. Seems that all the deals on slickdeals are dead, they did have a Dell with a 24" for $484 shipped but it's dead. Desired specs: Major brand name vendor - I'm not going to build one for her, no...

I do volunteer work at a local children's non-profit that has a computer lab and office computers. While I am used to using the robust Websense filtering tool at my paying job, the non-profit does not have the resources to procure such an expensive solution. I happened upon an alternative to...

Have a system I wanted to donate to a local non-profit but it seems like the board is bad. It will memtest all day long, but it's unstable when booted up to the OS. Errors out of Prime. Various parts work fine in other systems, ie video card, memory, cables. So I'm thinking it's the...

I installed Windows 7 on my oldest crappiest machine that hadn't even been powered on in a few months, an Athlon XP 3000+ on an ECS K7VTA3 ver 8.0. It had a GeForce3 Ti200 on it so I went looking for a new card on the [H] and locally. Picked up a Radeon 9550 on Craigslist which is listed in...

On the off chance that someone on the [H] is selling one :D Either that, or if someone could point out an e-tailer selling them for under $300 I'd be most appreciative. Must be in perfect condition, it's a gift for my sister.

I recently got a 22" refurb monitor that has a dead pixel. Other than that, I really like the monitor and the dead pixel doesn't really bother me that much, although I wish it wasn't there. So I did start the paperwork for an RMA, but I'm a little torn as to whether I actually want to go...

OK so I finally got a 22" widescreen monitor, it replaced my old 20" non-widescreen LCD. I was expecting a big decline in gaming performance at the native resolution. But, it has actually helped the performance, significantly in some games, especially Crysis. I am able to run 1680x1050 at the...

I bought my parents an HP s3600z build-to-order Slimline for Christmas and equipped it with a Blu-Ray player, since they don't already own a BD-Rom but they have a Sony XBR LCoS 61" HDTV. But I'm trying to get it all set up before I put it back in the box, wrap it up, and take it over to...

The PC guys are telling me that iTunes does not work with our roaming profiles setup. Is this true? Does anyone else have any experience with it? I work in a state agency that deals with higher education. Ever since iTunes University came around, there has started to be some demand for...

I got a GA-EP35-DS3L and an E2200 a couple of weeks ago. Even though I have the stock HSF, of course, I overclocked it mildly, at least until I can get a better HSF (only get paid on the 1st...). So I was poking around a bit and the Vcore was a little higher than I wanted. OK a lot higher...

I am looking to quiet down my case somewhat. I have 2x120mm fans, one blowing in at the front and one blowing out the back. Keeps the case nice and cool but they are horribly loud. I picked them up at a local PC supply haus for $9.99. BIOS has them spinning at 1500RPM, not sure what the CFM...

I have a Sapphire HD4850 and I went to play a DVD and Windows Media Player said that a compatible DVD decoder was not installed. So I went back and pulled out the original CD and installed everything that was on there. I noted that the AVIVO codecs were part of the install. I then rebooted...

Hi, I have a video that I got in France last summer on a burned DVD. It's in the PAL format and my HT DVD's refuse to play it, although it works fine on my computer. I would like to be able to watch it on my 56" LCoS RPTV. I have Linux installed on my laptop and I tried to use a program...

Has this functionality been disabled?

Hi, I have an Ultra case that I got at Fry's about two years ago for $19.99 after MIR. It's a full tower type with 4x optical bays, 2x floppy bays and 5x hard drive slots mounted on trays. It works pretty good for the most part but does have some design deficiencies. For example the cover...

OK so I just installed my very first ATI graphics card, a 4850 HD. Immediately after boot up it asked for my display drivers, no problem there, I installed the catalyst display driver only. It then asked for a driver for the ATI High Definition Audio....? I went ahead and let it look on the...

So I decided it's time to upgrade. I have some stuff to sell. I am using all this stuff in my computer to type this post right now, but I can have it out and shipped by Monday evening. Opteron 165 OSA165CDBOX. I don't know the processor code (ie CCBWE) since I am still using it right now, but...

If you are like me and want instant gratification on purchases, Fry's has the above mentioned parts at $164.99. I was going to buy an E2180 and the exact same motherboard at NewEgg for about the same price, now I'm thinking about getting it from Fry's with an E2200 and I get to walk out of the...

I'm thinking of doing a budget Intel upgrade rather than try to mess with my Opteron anymore. Basically I just want better framerates with an HD 4850 than the Opteron can offer. I don't encode anything so dual core is best for now. Running XP 32bit. With a $200 price limit I can upgrade...

http://www.dailytech.com/Intel+CEO+A...ticle12411.htm Intel releases a fantastic low power chip for emerging markets, and then gets seller's remorse, even turning up their nose at their own chip, when people actually like the thing and Eee PC's become an underground hit! I guess they're just...

OK, I am looking to build a homemade NAS using FreeNAS https://www.freenas.org. I am considering a wide range of hardware to get there. First, let's look at the requirements: -Low power consumption, will be on 24/7/365. -Environmental temps up to 95F as I turn down the AC when I am at work...

So yeah I've been considering the purchase of a NAS with RAID to throw on my network, since my roommate moved out and took his NAS with him. However today I was bumming around Newegg as I am prone to do and I read some of the reviews about the LE-1600, a single core 2.2 GHz part. There was a...

OK so I'm trying to avoid getting a new system for a few more months as I just bought a new C2D laptop last month. So I'd like to overclock the desktop some more. System is eVGA NF41 Opteron 165 at 2.250 (250x9) 2GB Kingston Value RAM Antec Truepower Trio 550w eVGA GeForce 7800GT at 445/1070...
