Your monitor "blacking out" is actually resyncing. It's resyncing because your new drivers have installed something in windows which runs a .dll or something that resets your video when you right-click a file. I've experienced similar problems in both win98 and winxp with both ATI and nVidia...

If you're overworking your monitor with very high scan rates (horizontal AND/OR vertical), you can experience deflection problems like this. A quick web search shows that the 97F's maximum scan rates are 96 kHz horizontal and 160 Hz vertical. Since the two combine to form the maximum resolutions...

Hi, I have a similar problem with a Ti4200. I use Entech's EnergySaver screen saver. It turns off the sync signals to the monitor so that it properly enters DPMS poweroff. Without energysaver, Windows XP just blanks the screen yet the CRT remains running on full. I have Windows set to...

Heat pipes do have a pump of sorts, where the pump action is provided by the heat input itself and the laws of physics. The liquid vaporizes at the heated end (the evaporator), creating a pressure difference which forces the vapor down the channel to the condenser (where the heatsink/fan is...

If the board is very new, like the P4C800 (i875) or P4P800 (i865PE), it includes a Winbond speech chip. Plug some speakers into the integrated speaker-out port and listen for the voice of Bitchin' Betty during the POST. She'll tell you what's wrong ;D

P4C800-E Deluxe has the Intel gigabit ethernet controller, Promise SATA software SATA/PATA raid0/1/0+1, AND the ICH5R south bridge for Intel integrated hardware RAID0/1. The P4C800 Deluxe has the ICH5, which lacks the Intel hardware raid controller but still has the Promise software SATA/PATA...

The normal voltage range available from your car's electrical system (and therefore being sent to your fan) is between 9 and 15 volts while the engine and alternator are running. Lower voltages will occur while the engine is idling or when a low battery is charging. Typical car voltage with a...

1. Extremeoverclocking.com built and successfully operated a dry ice-alcohol rig here: http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/articles/overclocking/Overclocking_2.4C_4.html. It's the same sort of design you'd use for a LN2 setup: a pipe with an open top, into which you pour dry ice and a liquid to...

Sleeve bearings (plain bearings, the same type that supports the crankshaft in a car) wear only during starts and stops. While the fan is spinning, the shaft is supported entirely by a thin film of oil. There is ideally no metal-to-metal contact while the sleeve bearing is running. Ball bearings...

Peruse Sam Goldwasser's most excellent Sam's Repair FAQ some time (or read it obsessively and start fixing people's TV sets). The three sections most appropriate to your problem (in order of most to least likely) are: , and .Since turning the monitor off and on "fixes" the problem, it may be...

angrybusdriver said it best: If your screen isn't dirty, then you don't need to clean it. However, for those who have mountains of pizza grease obscuring their view: Speaking from experience, I have an NEC MultiSync FP950, an AR coated flat CRT (that also cost $everal hundred, heh). I use...

The "click" was probably a plastic or metal part expanding and suddenly changing position. Since the picture acquired a temporary tint at the same time (which then went away), the part involved was inside or very close to your monitor cable (extremely common) or somewhere in the blue signal path...

Hard OverClockers Paradise, friends ;) I just realized that I've delurked after like 5 years here... o_O
