Pencils were never made with lead in their cores. Lead was sometimes used in the paint on the outside on wooden pencils. Leaded paint would not have been used on mechanical pencils, at least not very much (name and number markings could potentially have contained lead based paint, but the...

My initial thought was to have you clear/reset the BIOS by either pulling the CMOS battery or shorting/jumpering it somehow. I looked around though and found one person at least having success by reinstalling the original RAM in its original slots/configuration, then booting back into...

There's actually an x120e listed at $199 on eBay right now, but I don't think it'll end up selling for that price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X120e-Ultra-portable-PC-used-/150807002687 Those things are small compared to that other one I was looking at. It had a 17 inch screen...

Interesting. I might have to see if I can track down a C2 duo for somewhere around that price. If I can get it close, I show her it as a first option. Starhawk, I'd love to put Linux on it, but once she gets it and we go through initial setup, I don't think I'll likely get the opportunity to...

I've been looking for a laptop for a friend, actually it's going to be for her kids for school and stuff. She has a budget of around $200 but wants something that will play YouTube/TEDtalks stuff for potential class work. She doesn't necessarily want it to be capable of playing the latest games...

As someone else here mentioned, I tend to hold my phone with my left hand and carry it on my left hand side. My left hand, arm, and fingers & thumb are a lot more agile and mobile due to injuries I've suffered over the years to my right side. I text and type on a keyboard a lot faster...

Not quite. Your mobo is capable but your proccy isn't. It is 64bit capable though. ;) And you can upgrade in the future if you want but first things first. I completely missed this, sadly. It's my own fault as I definitely knew better. This is the [H] so when in Rome, don't forget to pay...

The remote came with an ATI All-in-Wonder 8500dv gfx card which you never had in your PC. You somehow ended up with the remote though. Don't know how that happened. :rolleyes:

Recheck your motherboard package. If I am not mistaken it will come with a SATA cable/s.

Shoulda kept that CUSL2 mobo I'm telling ya ;) One inch of dog fur and six years later that baby was still chuggin along. Did you know that PSU smelled like it had caught fire a time or two? :D Ah well, Asus was Aces back in the day. Check this if you haven't already, sis. See ya...

It doesn't matter if the price drops $200 or $0.20 the end price is directly dependant on what cards you will inevitably end up with, in this case 2x 6800gts. I don't know how else to explain it, so best of luck to you.

My figures accounted for future price drops. Did yours?

Current upgrade path: 2x 6600gt = 180 x 2 = $360 1x 6800gt = 450 x 1 = $450 difference of $90 future upgrade path: 2x 6800gt = 200 x 2 = $400 1x 6800gt = 200 x 1 = $200 difference of $200 upgrade path differential: 6600 overall upgrade path = $760 6800 overall upgrade path =...

Don't worry about SLI just yet.

This could be a little tricky. Chances are you picked up a short with the first leak. Thsi could have caused a problem that didn't show up until the system was re-heated or a certain pin/trace was used in data/power transfer. I would have a friend check the CPU. If it works flawlessly in...

Thanks, SR, that's kinda what I thought. I'll give re-installing my mp a go the first chance I get. Hope it works.

I' recently installed a 9800pro into a computer and the card works great in Dx tests and playing avi files but when I try to play any mpeg file the screen gets two inch thick yellow and blue bars acrossed it and the video eventually freezes. Upgraded from AIW 8500. Removed old drivers and...

Are you so sure on this? Volatile oil prices being the determinate factor in my questioning your presumptive statement... :eek: just keepen the username qualified...

You need to get yourself a copy of something like Knoppix and learn how to use it. I had a piece of slimeware slip past both my AV and anti-spyware programs. With Knoppix I could boot the system, browse through any file on the HDD and remove/replace the corrupted files, such as the variant...

The video input is usually black or yellow on the tuner card itself, and is labelled as an input. to use your soundcard for the audio you will need RCA-female to 1/8 inch stereo adapter like one of these...

RCA in (video in)

RCA yellow=video red= right audio white= left audio if you are trying to send the video out of the console into the tuner you need to make sure the tuner supports video in. you can use any color cable as long as you don't mix them up (by running video out into left audio in, for...

did he check the battery voltage/replace or just pull it? if that isn't it and I was him I would invest in a good UPS.

does anything happen when the power is turned on... you have the switch wired right... fans spin up?

dead motherboard battery....

my sisters computer does that, but since the BIOS chip is soltered right to the board it can't be fixed. Usually she can get it to restart after one mis-start though. And she has put up with it for a couple years:rolleyes: without problems. I've done about six or seven BIOS updates and...

pics? did you use compressed air or the freezer? what was the ratio on the epoxy? and finally did you see where the problem was occuring, 2 much AS or were the ramsinks shorting something out?

I'm going out on a limb and guess the OS you are using is a Win9X variant? If it is go into Device Manager in Safe Mode and remove all occurences of 'Display Adapters' and 'Monitors'. Shut down and restart. If Windows doesn't correctly re-detect your graphics card and monitor, go back...
