    Dell customizable desktop

    I am in the USA. I was on the Dell site for hours trying. As my message stated they do not let you fully customize. Thanks for responding.

    Dell customizable desktop

    I'm from the old school where Dell would let you customize your desktop. Now I have to take whatever they offer. The precision will let you customize somewhat but not completely. Ex. I want a windows computer without windows 8. I want a 1tb HD and they only offer 500mb. They give you...

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    I tried another monitor and nothing. I tried the "systemrecovercd" and it did nothing. I tried a "Knoppix live cd" and it did nothing. My knowledge of the connections of a MB is zero. I can pull items from the MB but I would have no idea what I am pulling. The MB is a h-Joshua-h61-uatx...

    Guess I'm going to have to junk the computer. If you guys are stumped then I don't have a prayer of fixing it.

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Pardon me. I have two computers giving me trouble and I gave wrong information for the HP. There is NO beep at all on the HP. I also tried another keyboard and there was no change that I could see. I tried cntr/alt/delete and this did not shut off the computer. I am plugging the keyboard...

    Clonezilla-live will NOT work on the computer that I can't boot into. I have no ram that I can test on the failed computer.

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    The beeps are about 1 second long and 1 beep about every other second. Yes I understand. I tried PcLinuxOS and nothing happened. The DVD blinked a few times and stopped. Thank you.

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    If I have an add in video card, HP put it in the computer when I bought it. I tried to get a Linux boot cd but they all seemed to come with an OS, which I don't want to mess up whatever is left on my HD. How can I get a Linux boot cd?

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Not a sold tone. A never ending series of short beeps. One of piece of information that might help: I use Clonezilla-live to back up my HD. It starts cold and boots into Clonezilla-Live. Clonezille-live will not boot on this computer. Fans are working. Don't have the vaguest how to check...

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Thanks guys for helping. I swapped monitors and it made no difference. The computer beeps continuously until I hit F1. I have taken the battery out for a couple of minutes and it made no difference. I also went out and bought a new battery and that made no difference. At this point I am...

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Looks like "Easy Recovery Essentials" by Neosmart might do the job. Only problem is it's a tad pricy to use just once - $20. AND I am not absolutely sure it will fix my computer.

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Thank you for replying Eulogy. I don't know what a "post" screen is but my monitor is black if that is what you mean. I can not get into BIOS or anything else. I do not use Linux.

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    I have a HP pavilion p7-1380t. (about 2 years old) I have tried all suggestions found on the web and none work. Have tried various boot up programs and they don't work. When I boot up here is what I see: black screen, mouse only flashes for a second, "F" keys do nothing, DVD flashes for a...

    Maybe a motherboard problem

    Thanks for your help. I removed the PT628. I removed the CMOS battery for an hour then plugged it back in. Lights come on in the front of the computer, the monitor light is on, I see the dvd player blinking and NOTHING else. Can't access BIOS. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a new battery but...

    Maybe a motherboard problem

    The device was a pt628 to allow accessing 2 or more HDs using a switch. Monitor light turns on but NO picture. So I have no way to get to anything.

    Maybe a motherboard problem

    Thanks for any advice. I have a p7-1380t HP. I was playing around with a device to let me dual boot without dual booting software. Now the computer will not boot up. I think I fried the motherboard but am not sure. Here is what happens when I press the power button. The fans start up, the...

    new desktop

    Not sure where I should put this. If you move it please tell me where... 1st let me say I do NOT have the skills to build my own desktop. I am afraid of these out of the country computer mfgs. It's becoming rather hard to find companies that make desktop computers. Dell for instance won't...

    PT628

    This is a device to allow switching from one HD to another without dual booting. Can't find any diagrams to help me connect it. I have a picture of the device but can't post on this forum. I have no idea if this is in the right forum. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    can't connect to the internet

    First let me say I have no idea where to put this message. If you move it please let me know where. I had a pavilion p7-1380t which when testing Windows 10 in my infinite wisdom managed to fry the motherboard. This is what I think happened. So I dug up my old Dell GX80 running Windows...

    Thank you for responding Skillz. I tried modifying my previous diagram using the [ ] and had no luck with it. I created a JPG image with paint and then copied it but this site would not let me paste it inline. I don't know how to proceed. I can give you the text without the rectangle...

    a b switch

    Thanks guys for responding. I'm not sure I have the skills to make one myself. The drives I have are NOT SSDs. Of course the abswitch has 3 terminals. 1 for power to the abswitch. 2 for connections to each HD. The real problem is the connectors. They must identical to the ones used in my...

    a b switch

    I have included a picture of the device I need. As far as I know there is no such animal. I hate dual booting and the problems that go alone with it. Sure would appreciate some advice on how, and where I could get this made. If I have not made something clear, please post it here and I...

    So OLED is dead for at least another 10 years.

    I find it rather disserting that companies can't find an economical way to produce these TVs. We can go to the moon but not find a way to do this. Pity. Maybe a lot of time will change all this.

    OLED TV

    04-24-2014 1st let me state that I consider myself an informed customer and not an expert. Hhgregg has an LG Oled tv in their store. A word like "WOW" seems inadequate to describe the picture of this tv. More appropriate would be "STUNNING". The salesman was an idiot as...

    Reliable home printer?

    I just love my OKI mb451w B/W all in one laser printer. It hasn't let me down yet. Something I can not say for HP printers. Cost was very reasonable. I am not annoyed with endless ads or bad software like I was with HP.

    OLED Monitor

    The link provided by Odellus Is somewhat encouraging but like the Tesla car is way beyond guys like me. So I would guess 3 to 5 more years. Yuk

    There is a very interesting and technical article on the oled-info.com/oled-tv web site. It's about the development of printing OLED TV screens. Looks like a year or so for them to get up to speed. I'm sure there are people here that can understand what they are talking about. I hope someone...

    Thought so. Thanks for verifying my suspicions. Seems to be a good model to go by when 1 monitor is hundreds less than lets say a Dell Ultra sharp and this cheapie there has to be a reason.

    Tiger-Direct is offering this monitor for $130 dollars. 24", 1920x1080, 16:9, 40000000:1, 5ms How can this be? The price alone worries me as much as a Hanns monitor.

    Graphene and OLED

    Can someone elaborate how Graphene will effect the new OLED tech in Tvs. Will it bring down the price drastically soon? Will it help solved the Blue deterioration? Can it be used instead of the OLED existing tech.? Please in layman terms.

    Brother B/W mfp LED PRINTER

    Made a call to Oki support and 99% of my problems were solved. Generally I am very pleased with the printer. Sturdy, price can't be beat for a printer of this quality. If I would gripe about this printer it would be the documentation. As always there is always room for improvement. These...

    Brother B/W mfp LED PRINTER

    Best I can tell is the Oki MB451w takes 220v. I don't have any 220v connection in the house. It is Model# MB451w Model # n22207b. According to the specs this is for 220v. Who ever heard of a printer using 220 volts. I haven't plugged it in yet so no harm to the printer but the hassle of...

    Brother B/W mfp LED PRINTER

    Hi DesertCat, Just info. Since you were so kind, I wanted to tell you what I did. Bought the Oki MB451 mfc b/w LED Printer. Directions look very complicated. All caused by a whole lot of abbreviations which I know nothing about. Will take it 1 step at a time. They talk a lot about...

    Brother B/W mfp LED PRINTER

    Brothers site is a nightmare. I am looking for an LED Printer. This is not a LASER Printer. It needs to be b/w and MFP. Do they make one? If not who does with the same specs?
