    Gateway FHD2400 suddenly has snow on DVI - HELP??

    My Gateway FHD2400 has been working perfectly since I got it a few months ago. Then tonight, I turn everything on and when the vid card starts sending a signal to it, there's nothing but snow across the DVI input. All the card has is DVI out, so can't test anything else. And I don't have...

    Best benchmark to test both GPUs on a 3870 X2?

    Just built a new system with a VisionTek 3870 X2, and am trying to find a good GPU benchmark that will stress both GPUs at the same time so I can monitor temperature, and I'm coming up short. I tried ATITool, but seems I can only run the fur cube test against one GPU or the other, not both at...

    Can I plug SATA DVD into ICH9R SATA port?

    I just bought an Asus Maximus Formula, and it looks like the only SATA ports on it are the Intel ICH9R RAID SATA ports. Rather than buying an IDE DVD drive, I bought a SATA DVD, and now I'm wondering can I run it off the ICH9R ports, or are those ports for hard drives only? I didn't get an...

    So what causes BLB - backlight bleeding?

    I see so many people talking about BLB on LCD monitors. I have an older Xerox LCD at home myself with some BLB. But what CAUSES it? What happens to the panel to make the backlight shine through more? Is the light getting brighter over time, or is some coating deteriorating on that panel...

    Anybody running the BFG 8800GTX watercooled version?

    I'm thinking about doing a watercooled system for my next rig, and was wondering if anybody out there was running one of the BFG 8800GTX watercooled cards yet, and what your impression was? Looks like a very nice card (and I'd like the single-slot solution) but for the additional money over...

    Will 8800 GTX fit in a Lian-Li PC-60APLUSII case?

    Was curious if anybody had a Lian-Li PC-60APLUSII (or PC-60BPLUSII) case they had squeezed an 8800 GTX video card into? I'm especially concerned about the length and clearance to the back of the hard drive cage, and also clearance with the side fan. I don't own this case yet, but am...

    Any opinions on the Toshiba Tecra M4?

    I posted another thread asking about convertibles running Windows Tablet Edition that also have good graphics cards for gaming (not that Intel Accelerator). I found that Toshiba's Tecra M4 has the GeForce Go 6600, and can be upgraded to 128 MB, and seems to have DirectX 9 support and Shader...

    Any convertible laptops running Windows Tablet with good graphics cards?

    Here's my problem... My old crappy ThinkPad finally died. I need a new laptop, but I'd like it dual purpose. 1 - On the business side, I'd prefer a convertible - a laptop where the screen can be folded down over the keyboard and use a stylus to write on it, and it runs Windows Tablet OS...

    Holy crap! Apple is planning a 30" 16ms LCD? *drool*

    I've seen the recent threads here about Apple's 23" 16ms LCD which is now shipping, but I just saw on their website the 30" will also be 16ms: http://www.apple.com/displays/specs.html HOLY SHIT! A 30" widescreen 16ms LCD? That's like display nirvana! That's almost TOO much monitor...

    Proxim/Orinoco wireless client - how to run automatically?

    I'm helping some folks set up a new wireless network with Proxim Orinoco wireless PCI and PC Cards, and I'm wondering if anybody out there has had any luck with getting their client connection utility to run automatically? I don't want to use XP zero wireless (or whatever it's called). We...

    Dell 2001FP DVI will not come out of power save mode - HELP!

    I'm helping a friend install new computers in his office, and one of the systems was ordered with a Dell 2001FP monitor. The systems are Dell Optiplex with some sort of nVidia AGP video card (not sure of the model or specs). The 2001FP was working great for about three days, then this...

    How many dead/stuck pixels does your 2001fp have?

    That's all well and good if somebody's at home to wait for the Fedex guy to show up. Or if you can have it picked up where you work. But when both people are away from home cause they go to work and your company doesn't allow personal packages to be brought to work because of security...
