My Friend has a HP Pavilion DV2000 Laptop. His display isn't work. Suddenly display gone. But I thought it could be Display problem not a VGA. So, i tried to connect an external monitor and used Shortcut keys to change the display. I pressed fu + F1 or Fu + F2 or Fu + F3 or Fu + F4 up-to F12. But no result.
I couldn't check whether it's a Display or VGA card problem. IS there any other way to check it. in addition to these is there any other combination keys to Change the display to an external monitor. I'm unable to check whether i get login or not. if I can login then i can use Windows Key + P. Then i can select mode. But I'm Unable to anything here. Please help me to find the problem and i have to take it to repairing shop.
Thanks in Advanced
It should be the Fn + the key that shows a monitor symbol. If it still doesn't display, the motherboard video processor has failed, and not the LCD Panel
According to the latest reports, AMD will skip the problematic 20nm manufacturing node for their next-generation 'Arctic Islands' GPUs, which the company is expected to launch in 2016. Instead, Arctic Islands will progress directly to 14nm FinFET in the hope...

Sounds like a good strategy.
AMD's roadmap for the next two years has leaked, and it's filled with information about what the company is planning for their desktop and mobile CPU and APU lines. While 2015 will see a mix of 32, 28 and 20nm chips,...

If it beats the Bulldozer family by a solid 5-10% in video games plus media encoding with reasonable prices, I am going to use it for all my builds.
This is my configuration:
GPU - ATI Radeon HD 5770
STOCK COOLER
MONITOR 1280X1024 4:3 Ratio
CPU - AMD FX-8320
Motherboard - Asus M5A97 R2.0
RAM - Kingston HyperX 2 x 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
Hard Drive - Western Digital 1TB Blue SATA3
PSU - Thermaltake Smart SE 530W
Now, what should I buy:
1) New cooler - Probably the COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 EVO
2) New GPU - any good suggestions?
3) New Monitor - any good suggestions?
I'm using it for video rendering and gaming.
I would not worry about the CPU because it is a decent processor. The cooler I would not worry about unless you are overclocking the CPU. If you are then yes, get the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. It will bring the temps down a good amount over the "Stock" cooler. I would suggest getting a monitor (something with Widescreen and 1920x1080 resolution). You could probably get a decent monitor for around $100 to $150, then look at getting a better graphics card. You may have to save a little extra money for the graphics card, but it will be worth it in the end.
Please somebody help me asap I tried to change the public Dns to google's one but failed to do so now I cant reverse it I clicked auto obtain IP and Dns but still cant connect to my router, I beg you somebody help me.
I'm far from an expert on anything internet, but I had a similar experience when Verizon changed servers on me, and my router failed to track it.
I called Verizon tech support and they reconfigured the router for me while I was on the phone.
You can also try opening a command box and type, "ipconfig/release", wait a few moments and type, "ipconfig/renew" (obviously without the quotes). That will only work if the issue is with the computer, but not the router.
Don't despair though. Someone who actually knows what they're talking about could be along any minute...
Hello all,
I use an ADSL modem for accessing Internet in my home. I think my wifi password is stolen. I wanna change it but I have a computer only in my office and use the Internet in my home by my iPhone. Is there a way to change that password with my iPhone or should I surely use a computer to do that work, please?
Hello abbasi ,
You can use your iPhone to log in the router and change the wireless settings, however this isn't usually recommended. If something goes wrong when configuring the wireless settings and you are not able to connect to the router you'll need a device that can be connected via Ethernet cable to restore the access.
If this router is supplied by your ISP you can ask them if they have remote access to it to change the password.
Hope that helps.
I have a Dell Latitude D630 and the motherboard died, It's out of warrenty so I bought a Motherboard on ebay. The Bios Service Tag does not match the number on the bottom so I would like to chage it to the correct one. How can I do this?
I read about a DST CD = Dell Service Technician CD that has this option but I can't find one.
It's not a real important thing but when I use the Dell System ID application it reads the Bios Service tag and not the real system tag that Is registered to me.

I doubt very much if this will be possible. The mic and headphone ports are wired directly to the Audio section of the motherboard, there connections cannot be altered.
Your best bet is to get the damaged port repaired.
Hello all I have been playing around with my home network of late and noticed some surprising at least as far as I m concerned results For work I require a hardware VPN so I was using in Change routers bandwidth different with a Sonicwall TZ W as my firewall and a asus rt-n u as a access point because the TZ s wireless is pants With this my peak download rate was Mbps and upload Mbps I then bought a linksys E and flashed it with DD-WRT and used that instead of the Sonicwall as soon as I plugged it in I noticed a Mbps increase in my download rate Upload increase was neglible if any I then decided I wanted to change from having a firewall and AP to a all in one solution since there was no real need to have both so I bought a Asus RT-N U flashed it with DD-WRT Now this router is amazing Change in bandwidth with different routers and I can t rate it enough with DD-WRT it is off the charts Much to my surprise I now had a peak bandwidth of Mbps down and Mbps up which is what my ISP originally quoted me when I got the line The results from the RT-N U you could say is not surprising with it being a far superior router but the E vs a TZ I m confused somebody please enlighten me Oh and the setup on E and the Asus is Change in bandwidth with different routers identical Alastair nbsp
My gut reaction is - - cudos to DD-WRT.
There are three factors for routers (especially when they get real busy):
clock speed of the processor
memory
the code/firmware
It is well known that DD-WRT is very good (read tight/small) and that allows the hardware (cpu + memory) to perform at its best.
Hi, I can't find the settings for the CPU voltage in my BIOS. I know it's a H board, but can I lower my CPU voltage? If so how?
Thanks
The H77 chipset does not allow you to alter CPU voltages. That can only be done on a Z77 motherboard/chipset.
About two days ago I was messing with my resolution in my computer whe I saw something wired that I never seen before and that was that there was some higher resolution than I change and high too Resolution can't it seen before so I set it as that Everything worked Resolution too high and can't change it fine intill I started to play swtor and when Resolution too high and can't change it I quit the game my computer screen whent blank and all it said was the resolution that my comp can hold I have a Nvidia GTX Ti I done everything I know that might solve my problem but nothing works I tried to run my computer on my onboard graphic card and it works fine and I can see everything The problem only happens when I tried to run it on my other graphic card I tried to run it on safe mode and change it through there but it still does not work I don t know if is because the graphic card is not getting enough power or something like that Can someone plese help me this problem is driving me crazy If anyone knows what to do please tell me that will really help me I have a Nvidia GTX Ti W power supply nbsp
First: Try changing resolution through Screen Resolution menu (Right-click on desktop)
Second: Try changing it through Nvidia Control Panel
Third: You monitor will have an auto-calibration function, accessible by the buttons under it, or any software provided by the manufacturer.

Give ASUS a call and ask what if anything they have available.
There are some Notebooks that allow GPU upgrades. Knowing which ones allow upgrades and the correct upgrades to use, is something you would need to ask the manufacturer.

Most of the time the user change his password on Windows then by the time it change it on his phone his account is lock due to the fact that the phone is trying to login with old password.
Log out on one machine before you change your password on the other.
Log back in with new password.

Well if the system has a 6670 in it already then the motherboard has a PCI-E slot so either the 550Ti or 7770 you picked will be compatible. You need to find the model and wattage of the PSU first though, to make sure the new GPU is getting enough power.
Just curious but why did you decide to buy that system if you were intending to change the graphics card? The mobo and PSU may be of questionable quality so you would have been better off choosing and assembling your own components.

What's your motherboard model and what CPU do you have at the moment?
Also what do you use the PC for?
hi !, i am running a system with intel core 2 duo processor and gigabyte motherboard. In my BIOS the first boot device is HDD, now i want to change that to CD/DVD, but i cant change them...
after entering Advanced BIOS settings -> Hard disk boot Priority [Press Enter]
but when i press enter it is showing the order, but those are disabled, i tried +, -, pu, pd but they didn't work. Does any one know the solution...?
You're looking at the wrong item. Go down one line until you see "First Boot Device." Change that to the appropriate CDROM device. You can also set the second and third boot device if you wish. What you are doing now is choosing which hard drive (and hard drives only) will boot ahead of the other hard drives. So if your hard drive is selected as the second boot device, this will tell the system which hard drive to look at first. That is, if you had more than one. If you only have one hard drive, that would be unnecessary.
You may also press F12 to temporarily change the boot order for that one time only without entering the BIOS.
I just try to install KOMPUTERBAY 1GB DDR DIMM (184 PIN) 400Mhz PC3200 DDR400 DESKTOP MEMORY on a EMachine T3120. With 2 sticks of mem, it started beeping and it would not boot. With one stick it will boot but after a few seconds it will go to the Blue Screen of Death.
When I replaced the 512mb ram original it all went back to normal. I thought I had the wrong RAM since it look different from the old (see attached picture) but I was told I might had to do something to the BIOS. Any ideas?
Your're gonna have to look for a long time... It is time to change out of that eMachine into something you can learn on, and enjoy. The life expectancy of eMachines among our clients has been very short.
There isn't anybody at eMachines that can help you on this issue either.
I once ran across a simple UI item that allowed me to change LOCAL CONNECTION 2 to LOCAL CONNECTION.
RESOLVED. Open Network and Sharing Center. Click on the icon for the active connection. Change THAT name.
If you could upgrade 1 thing in my system, what would it be?
I will be getting a new PSU. I would use a 9800GT 1GB and then a HD 6950/6970.
Maybe my CPU and motherboard, and with that also my DVD Drive.
Hi guys!
Recently, my laptop (Compaq Presario CQ50) battery passed away and unfortunately, the day after, the same thing happened to my AC adapter. Actually, the adapter itself works perfectly, except for the socket inside the laptop.
It seems this part is loose and no power can now reach my laptop. I don't care running my laptop only plugged to the wall outlet since I'm using it only in the living room. It's old and the replacement battery is quite expensive (I could not charge the battery without a working ac adapter anyways).
I was wondering if it was possible to buy only the socket and also how to replace it?
Thank you!

Hi, in a different thread archean recommended that I make sure that there is reasonable free space in the OS partition. How do I know what size it is and if I need to make it bigger? As you can see I know very little about computers.
My hard drive has 59.3 gigabytes free and 84.9 gigabytes used.
I think it's fine.
I have a Gigabyte Ultra Durable 3 motherboard MA785GM-USTH. I have tried several times to set the BIOS to boot first from a cd/dvd. It does not change the boot order. I continues to boot from my hard drive. I want to boot from a UBUNTU CD and I can't. Can someone help?
My short answer here to this, is that it sounds like your BIOS needs a swift kick in the pants! Maybe the BIOS just needs a jump start, maybe to get things back on track. This is just a real quick little fix, if it works.
1. Remove the computer from power, unplug the power cord from the power supply.
2. Take the side panel off your computer case, exposing the guts of the machine.
3. Look for the motherboard, then look for a small shiny chrome colored battery.
4. Remove that chrome colored battery off the motherboard.
5. With the battery removed, take your hand and press the (power) button on the front of the case.
6. Keep that button depressed and or pushed for approx. 30 to 40 seconds, while your computer BIOS is drained of it's power and hopefully it's current setting.
7. Let off the (power) button, replace the chrome battery back onto the motherboard, replace the side panel of the case and reconnect the computer power cord to the back of the power supply.
Now turn on your computer and see if that helped take care of some things! Again, this is just one of those quick fixes that may or may not always work.
Hope this helps.

Appears that your video is onboard, and that your board has an AGP graphics slot.
So you could theoretically purchase an AGP card to replace it. These are the supported types:
Supports AGP 2.0 1x/2x/4x
This is a quick search on Newegg, just make sure you stick to ones that have 4x, not ones that are exclusively 8x. You can probably search online elsewhere as well.

Dear All member of Techspot and moderators.
Recently, My computer is starting change time and dates
.
1st day before Normal computer use: work, homework, play, Yehhh! <expression>
2nd day, when I turn on the computer, it show me today is "March 13, 2014. 3PM"
Time and Date is wrong. I manually change correct time.
3rd day, the computer change its time and day again, fix it manually.
Basically I do 2nd and 3rd repeatly.
I researched about this problem: I might need change the battery.
However, I really want to know what is the most important thing to do before I replace the battery. Do I need back up all my saved data in computer ?
Also, what if I do not replace the battery ? I mean what is the worst situation.
From
neowing.
Your bios setting will get reset, when you change the cmos batterry.
Take note of the setting, before changing the battery.
Your data on the harddrive will not be affected, by a battery change.
I always thought that a weak/dying battery caused reset to factory setting. March 2014 ??
I have a Dell computer that my customer could not BIOS in Strange setup tabs boot up Upon further investigation I found the hard drive was failing as to the obvious and constant spinning up and stopping it was obviously doing The customer bought a new seagate SATA gb hard drive to get vista back on and the machine back up and running After connecting the Strange BIOS tabs in setup hard drive I noticed a few strange things happening But it s been so spiratic I havent been able to pin down a specific one so bear with me here A few times it froze at the hp boot screen Other times it Strange BIOS tabs in setup would run past that and boot from the vista install disc and into the beginning of the installation only to run into a blue screen error Most Strange BIOS tabs in setup confusing of all and my getting to my point now is when I finally went into F for the bios setup to check things out Looking at the standard Pheonix Bios screen I noticed the tabs above read as follows First Tab Main Second tab Advanced Third tab oweb Fourth tab Boot and the fifth tab reads Epid Now the Epid I know is supposed to be Exit and I have no clue what the heck oweb is but something is really screwed with the bios I m just not sure where to go next as I have NEVER seen this before nbsp
"...the hard drive was failing as to the obvious and constant spinning up and stopping it was obviously doing"...
This sounds like a failing power supply. The power supply could be affecting the bios display too. Try pulling the CMOS battery, with the computer unplugged and replacing the battery back in the motherboard, then booting the computer back up
I have just attempted to swap a hard drive from my dell to a compaq that someone gave me. When I power on the computer that the hard drive is in I get a blank screen. Did I do something wrong? Please help.
Hi wcheard,
Welcome to Techspot!
Sometimes when you swap a hard drive over to another PC it doesnt like the hardware change.
Try the following:
Remove the HDD from the Compaq and re-boot the pc. Even though the HDD is missing you should still get a picture on the screen.
If you DONT get a picture with the HDD removed the the Compaq either has a) a faulty mobo OR b) there may a problem with the graphics card. This all dpeends if you have a graphics card installed or if you are using onboard VGA.
Hope this helps

I have a new Medion Akoya P7360 (MD 8855) PC running Windows 7. I have been using Skype, and on one call my cousin couldn't stop laughing, he said I sounded like I'd been breathing in helium! I eventually pinned it down and discovered that it happens every time the PC goes into Sleep mode. After power-up, I can ring the Skype Call Testing Service (echo test) and it echoes back my message perfectly. If I put my PC into Sleep Mode (or allow it to do it automatically) then revive it, it raises the pitch of the microphone by about 5 semitones. I have tried a USB Phone, and this sounded OK. The only way I can resolve it at the moment is to re-boot the PC. I'm at a loss to think what the problem could be. I'm pretty sure I have the latest drivers. Anybody got any ideas?
Fred
have you tried another microphone?
for some reason i am having sound issues inside games like team fortress wich are related to having set speaker settings to surround sound when using stero speakers im using head phones windows XP I try to change the settings to headphones but the problem persists here is what happens when i change the setting in lt windows gt control panel gt sound from to headphones then return to the menu it has change back from maybe settings, malware? will change audio OS not headphones to this problem started about days ago all i want is stereo sound I also suspect that the IDT audio OS will not change audio settings, maybe malware? program which is not starting on startup anymore may also be a problem but i can still run it from control panel its also possible that some options in the IDT program like quot headphone virtualization support quot which i cant remember if i changed recently are the problem I know very little about audio software i cant hear windows sounds either right now but i can hear most of a Cd i have in the Cd rom but it cuts out a bit just rebooted and there is not Audio at all windows can no longer see any audio devices on device manager MICROSOFT WINMM wdm audioo compatibility Driver is quot not working properly quot quot A driver service for this device has been disabled An alternate driver may be providing this functionality Code Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device quot did a system restore i have sound but not system sound will do the normal maintence and check back here to see if anyone has any suggestions nbsp

I want to make my IDE the primary hard drive and SATA the secondary. By default windows selects the SATA but I have issues with partitions and I want to use the IDE instead.
In my advanced features bios I am given three boot devices to choose as I will, but if I want to boot from a hard drive it doesn't give me a choice so it selects primary device being the SATA.
The standard cmos features show the SATA on channel 0 master and i'm given three options - none, auto and manual. Nowhere do I see an option to change the IDE to primary. How do I do this?
I have a gigabyte ga-p35-ds3l mobo
In the Advanced BIOS Features you have First boot device; Second boot device; Third boot device. Take a look at the item just above those: Hard Disk Boot Priority
Highlight it and press "Enter." You should see all your hard drives listed.
I got this old emachine et 1161-01 with geforce 6150se already attached to it, and recently i have had some problems with games and videos. I am not a computer person, so i have no clue what my computer's motherboard can hold up to. does anyone have some idea what kind of graphic card i can buy with price less than $100 and has good quality? because i am a college student, and i am short on money.
From what I could find it seems that the eMachines ET1161-01 has a PCI-Ex16 slot.
I would recommend the XFX HD 4770 but it would cost about $112 including shipping.
If that's beyond your budget, the Radeon HD 4670 would also do fine.
NOTE: You will have to change your power supply in order to be able to use either of the cards mentioned. A good 400W PSU, like the Corsair 400CX, should be fine.
Hi,
I have a problem. In MSI Afterburner even when I enable the voltage control and restart I can't enter a voltage or use the slider. Does anyone know what my problem is? I am using the latest afterburner 1.5.1 and nvidia forceware 186.18.
Why are you changing the voltage anyway. Unless you're watercooling your card you definately shouldnt be doing that.
I have looked everywhere and i cannot find a way to change the static ip on the gateway itself. I need to change it because some kid with a botnet loves to hit my ip, and i have no way to defend against it, because it is a static ip. I have called att, they wont change it. i seem to remember a while back when i had a gateway, and the public ip would change with every reboot of the gateway.
what can i do?
1) Do you have dynamic or static IP service from ATT? If really do have have static IP from ATT then they are the only ones who assign it.. and they are the only ones who control it. Nothing you can do if they don't do it
2) What kind of problems? The router firewall should block any access/attacks
/* edit */
And you are aware you pay "extra" to ATT for a static IP?
Tipster advised me to,"Just make sure you set the Network cards to 1000mbps instead of Auto."
I recently bought a new router--Netgear WNDR3700.
I'm running Vista Home 64 bit on a Gateway FX6800-01e and thought that I could change the setting by going to Control Panel, then Device Manager---but there seems to be no way to change the NIC speed there.
Am I on the wrong track?
I'm curious to know why it's better to change the NIC speed to 1000Mbps, rather than letting Windows choose?
Looking to learn--not doubting the advice.

Vista like 7 you should see icon for network near the clock in the system tray? Do you see such an icon. If yes!
Then right click then open network and sharing center
Once you do that you should see to your right Change Adapter Settings. Do you see this link? If you do click on it and then right click on your network adapter. Click on properties Click on Configure, click on Advance, scroll down to Speed & Duplex this name may vary with different nics. Now change the speed from Auto to 1000 it might be 1.0GBps same. Also if you see TCP Offload make sure those are set to Enable.
How are we doing so far? Okay or not?
If you get lost along the way all the settings are in the Device Manager. To get to this in Vista or 7 you just need to right click on the Computer icon on the desktop or in the flag orb menu then click properties and select Device Manager. Scroll down for Network Adapter, click on [+] to expand then right click on properties then on Advanced, then speed & duplex.
You should be all set?
Toshiba Sattelite A200 10x, bought it 2 and a half years ago, everything's stock at stock settings, only added 1 gig of ram to take it to 2gig total upon purchase.
I can't say I'm the exemplary laptop user since whenever I can I just leave it on the AC supply and let it run there for hours on end, that can't be good for the battery. Lately the moment I unplug it, even though the battery's fully charged it loses its charge completely in 1 or 2 minutes flat. Sometimes the same time I unplug it, 2 seconds or so later it turns off.
I'm guessing it's time for a new laptop battery, or could be coming from a leak or such? I'm just posting to confirm.
You should be able to take it to a Battery Specialist http://batteryworld.com.au/asp/index.asp?pgid=11193 and they might be able to diminish somewhat the 'recharging Cycle memory'. But it will take them a while to do and it will never be totally reliable eg. temperature differences will affect the battery run-down time. As a backup for around the house could be money well spent and if you buy a new battery having the second should (if you don't use and abuse it like the last) lengthen the the life of the new one.
Hope this helps
I am about the change my video card, and I am afraid of any malfunction on the way. Any advise before I start?
Firstly, ensure that you get a video card that is supported on your motherboard. Remember to uninstall all present graphics drivers before removing the old GPU. Check that your PSU is sufficient to power your new graphics card.
It would be helpful if you tell us what your system specs are and what GPU you are considering to purchase.
hi im new to all this and im after upgading my processor i have a chaintech 7VJL deluxe apogee mother board with a amd athlon 1700 processor what is the best processor i could fit to it ive done some research and got abit confused lol
chaintech doesn't make motherboards anymore so i cant find a CPU support list for your motherboard. if i was you i would save up for something like this eMachines ET1331G-03w Refurbished Desktop PC $359.97

http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/cd-dvd-drives-lost-properties-tabs-in-xp-cant-burn-cds-anymore.144176/We moved to a new place in December and my atheros ar5005gs WiFi adapter and WRT54GP2 don't seem to like each other any more. Everything in our new home is positioned the same as it was in the old place. I think I may have figured out that the problem might be that there are (according to Network Stumbler) at least 5 other WiFi routers on channel 6 in this neighborhood.
I need to find out how to change the channel number on my atheros ar5005gs adapter. Changing it on my router is no problem, I know how to do that.
Thanks, in advance for your help.
Hi
you only change the channel on the router, not on the NIC.
Okay so i got the Lg Neon the other day. I love the phone it's cute and everything. But the thing is i can not figure out how to set a ringtone.

Well then i went out and got a sd cardit fits in the phone and everything says its there and everything well i put songs on it and put it in my phone well... it want let me set them as ringtones still or anything... im not gettin how to do this or anything...

Hi,i need a bat file for changing IP address randomly ..Also should change in the ip range.For ex.now this is my setting..
Ip address : 192.168.1.2
subnet mask : 255.0.0.0
default gateway :192.168.1.1
preferred dns :125.22.47.125
alternate dns :202.56.250.5
Now i need a bat file which should change my ip address alone randomly in the range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.100...I dont know its possible or not..but i need to do this how can i..thanks in advance..
hmm; very strange request to perform randomization via bat file.
we normally recommend using DHCP to make the assignments to avoid collisions with
other systems on the subnet.
there is no advantage to randomization
so imo, this is very suspicious of being some kind of hacking effort ...
My girlfriends computer would not boot into safe mode so I went hdd? slave to boot.ini change on How into run and typed in msconfig and changed the boot ini to boot into safe mode Well it still didn t boot into safe mode and now windows does not start up normally either It goes to the option screen of how I would like it to boot safe mode options last known good configuration start windows normally but no matter which option I choose it just restarts and goes back to this screen in an endless loop I have connected her hdd to my computer and made it the slave drive My question How to change boot.ini on slave hdd? is is there anyway to access the boot ini on her hdd and change it back t how it was before the way i have it set up right now I have tried going to msconfig but only my hdd shows up Also my hdd is connected via sata and hers is ide don t know if that makes a difference Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks thanks for the help rf can you help me out a little more and tell me how I can edit the file on the slave drive or the other way you mentioned thanks I don t have the recovery disk is there any other way Or am I able to get one through Microsoft nbsp
It appears that using msconfig probably put the edit into boot.ini. Therefore, your should be able to edit the file on the slave drive & remove the offending safeboot option.
The recovery console is another way to re-create boot.ini. This involves the original HDD back in its computer. bootcfg /Scan finds instances of Windoze installations. Bootcfg /? gives you an idea what is involved.

Hello, every one. i got a problem with cpu fan.it is so loud and has bad sound like tar...... i want take it out from my laptop to checking but i don't know how to take it from my laptop because it so complicated. can you help me how to take it? i need help please.......
My laptop is Vgn-sz660n...
thanks
But what brand of laptop is your Vgn-sz660n? What do you mean, ":...has a bad sound like tar..."
You remove the keyboard screws from the bottom of your laptop, then lift off the keyboard, and unsnap the bezel pieces to get to the fan mechanism... beyond that, it is just a few more screws.

I have a Gigabyte AM2 motherboard (ga-ma69g-s3h)
I used to have an option to change the cpu voltage with my old dual core 5000+ cpu.
with this cpu, that BIOS option is gone!
furthermore, I can change the voltage through gigabytes windows utility (easytune 5), but then when I also try to change the multiplier in windows it doesn't change anything and the speed of the cpu remains the same.
I'm stuck at stock voltage and 3.3GHz overclock (which is not bad but since it can get to 3.7ghz I'm missing out).
You might need to update your BIOS.
Have you tried using the AMD Overdrive Utility?
hello, i have a 9800gt that gives a very low fps on crysis, i went to the shop from where i purchased it and they said that you need to change your power supply, currently its 230watt, i was thinking that i should replace my card with another one as mine does not have a six pin supplementary power connector. so my question is that should i change my psu first or should i switch my card first?
your running a 9800gt on a 230W PSU!? not sure how your doing that without it shutting down as soon as you start a game. the 9800gt needs a 450W psu with 24A on the 12v rail (s). change the PSU. you are fortunate that you haven't overstressed the 230W psu and destroyed the rest of the system.
I have put a new hard drive on my Dell Dimension 8300, initially it was for extra storage, my C drive is 40GB and is now full, i copied my C drive using Norton Ghost onto my E drive 80GB. I need to know how can i tell my system to boot from my E drive.
Set the 80GB as the C drive and the old 40GB as the E drive. Are these drives IDE or SATA drives? IDE drives have Master/Slave/ CS (Cable Select) physical jumpers and SATA drives do not have these jumpers
So here s my dillema I m hardware after drives recognized) windows change (IDE Problems major booting not sort of a novice in the hardware department I ve successfully swapped out hard drives and disc drives and transferred my mobo from an old case to a new Problems booting windows after major hardware change (IDE drives not recognized) one before so I recently attempted a more indepth overhaul Namely when my old computer died from what was likely a video card or motherboard fail power still worked but there was no monitor display or POST beep anymore I decided to swap out the old stuff for new and better parts amp nbsp My PSU and case along with my gb hard drive and my two dvd rom drives are fairly new so I m replacing the motherboard from a nine-year old God knows what to a ASUS P KPL-AM SE processor AMD Athlon to an Intel Core Duo RAM PC to DDR and vid card my old GeForce for a new PowerColor HD Running XP Home The build went successfully from what I can tell though I m not entirely certain how to hook up the IDE ribbons correctly when I have two DVD Rom drives since there are only three connectors and I have three drives plus the mobo connector Anyway when I fired it up initially I got nothing There was power but I got a POST error one long beep followed by two short beeps Since I figured it might be that my old PSU isn t putting out enough power to supply this massive new video card I removed the card to see what would happen Now I get the single long POST beep and a screen recognizing the motherboard and processor I get as far as the screen that tells me Windows did not shut down properly but no matter what option I choose safe mode safe mode w command prompt start windows normally or last known good config at this point the system simply restarts again with the single beep and I m back at square one I m aware of the pitfalls of swapping motherboards while trying to save the OS I have my hard drive partitioned which means I should be able to keep my files intact despite a complete reinstall yes At this point I don t expect to be able to get away without reinstalling windows but I can t figure out how to get the system to take the install disc so I can even do that I don t know my way around BIOS very well My hope is that if I can get it booted up and running using the system s onboard video then I can worry about replacing the power supply with a higher wattage and installing the new video card at a later date My immediate issue is that the BIOS isn t recognizing any of my IDE drives I have a single DVD writer and a hard drive hooked up on an IDE cable but the main BIOS page says quot Primary IDE Master Not Detected quot quot Primary IDE Slave Not Detected quot I ve checked everything and it seems to be all hooked up correctly so I can t figure out why this isn t working The obvious problem is that since I can t get the drive to function I in turn can t read the Windows install disc so I can t even get in and try to do a repair install or anything I can provide more info if you need it I m just at a loss right now nbsp
you must reinstall windows on the new setup from scratch. Any major hardware changes will require this. Windows configures itself and is registered to the mobo and components. Also windows is licensed for only one system at a time.
A BIOS beep is indicative of hardware failure or incompatibility. Read my guide here: http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic95391.html
To retrieve data you will need to use your drive in another system as an external device. Use a usb to IDE adapter.

Anyone care to share their tips, numbers and or experiences sufferred from DELL with respect to master p/w requests, change of ownership requests and generally any info we as a group may find usefull ?

I have this pathetically stupid problem with the nvidia control panel.
I have a second display configured (my tv) and I'm trying to change its colour settings but it's not registering at all. When I click "save" the settings just jump back to default and the radio button switches back to "other applications control settings" rather than "use NVIDIA settings" which is what I want.
Any ideas on this ridiculously annoying problem? I am using Vista Ultimate 32bit and I have the latest nvidia drivers.
You can't control the TV 's color from the computer, unless this TV has computer inputs other than the standard RCA inputs. How are you connecting this TV?
Alright guys, I have come to the conclusion that this problem can only be a result of a faulty/old motherboard. Any insight/confirmation/insults are appreciated.
Problem: My speakers have been crackling on a consistent basis for the last month or two. Sometimes they are quiet for a half hour at a time, but other times they crackle constantly for several minutes. This occurs regardless of what programs are running, and crackles at the same volume regardless of the volume of the speakers. Touching the cords does not affect the crackling sound.
Things I have tried:
I swapped speakers. Three different kinds of speakers are all crackling when plugged in.
I thought the microphone might be to blame, but I have unplugged the microphone and the problem persists.
I have tried two different sound cards. The cracking continues.
ASUS A8N SLI-Deluxe Mobo, approximately 2 years old. Does anyone know what is going on? Thanks.
Have you tried connecting the speakers to any other audio source? That would definetly tell you if it's anything computer-related or if it's the speakers that are faulty.
You could try to connect the speakers to anything with a 3.5mm jack for headphones, like an mp3 player, cd player or stereo and maybe even a TV (Some have headphone jacks). If you have adapters you can connect the speakers to an audio source using regular RCA cables as well.

Hi! everyone, can anyone tell me why we cannot use same benchmark (suite) for different paradigms of computing??
This question was asked in my midterm exam, but i don't know the answer yet.
thanx in Advance
I'm sure there will be much better answers, but one answer is there are new technologies that processors use. For example SSE. From Wikipedia:
The earlier SIMD instruction sets on the x86 platform, from oldest to newest, are MMX, 3DNow! (developed by AMD), SSE and SSE2.
SSE3 contains 13 new instructions over SSE2.Click to expand...
The same thing happens with GPU technology, each edition of 3DMark tests new technologies that have came out since their prior edition.

My PC has DDR 400 RAM but in BIOS it ses its 333Mhz and i cant change it ! Is it stuck like that or can the bios be set up/flashed so i can change it.
Before doing anything, I suggest you check your mobo manual to see what's supported etc.
I definitely don't recommend a bios update, unless you know for a fact it is needed.

If you're just changing the CPU, it shouldn't matter. As long as you reset the parameters for the new cpu in the bios.
This morning I turned on my computer and everything was all Pixely and horrible quality. And I go to fix the res and color quality and I can only set my resolution to 640x4... And the color quality only to 4 bit. When In safe mode everything works fine, but as soon as I get back into regular mode, back to the mess. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Failed video card or video graphics driver. Delete Video graphics driver in System->Hardware->Device Manager, then reboot and reinstall. If that doesn't work, the video graphics card has reached the end of its useful product life.
This is my story:
One of my customers have got a DOS Clocking (Time Management) system witch was written to print their logs to a desktop printer using LPT1.
Not so long ago the Pc and the printer got damaged by lightning and I had to replace the printer parallel port ***-well as the onboard LPT1 port on the Pc.
The Pc has been fitted with a parallel- PCI card with two ports LPT2 and LPT3.
The printer has now been connected and normal printing from windows via LPT3 is no hassle.
The DOS management system does not want to print at all since it only prints to LPT1 and that is my headache.
The computer is a standalone and not networked but the 'net use' to the local IP (127.0.0.1) and the shared printer does not work.
I have tried the mode change, "mode LPT3>LPT1" still no luck.
Any sugestions? Anyone? Please?
I wonder if you disabled Parallel port in Bios setup
Plus removed all parallel ports in Device Manager
What would the Parallel port number be when automatically detected on next start up?
LPT1 by chance? I hope so (but not really sure )
Hi,
I have asus p5q for now and 2X320Gb sata drives in Raid 0. For example of my motherboard failure , can i then use this raid array on another motherboard and pc.
Can I even use this raid on the same model motherboard.If so will this motherboard recognise drives automaticaly or i still need to create raid using on-board-raid-controler software that i used to make raid first.
Same motherboard should be no problem.
Equal (same chipset) motherboard, might work.
Different chipset motherboard, likely a redo.
I currently have a pc that was windows 2000 that is now not working. I recently put a new hard drive into the pc and it currently store all my music (itunes) and document flies. I would like to if it is possible to take the hard drive out and connect it to my other computer externally. The only other issue is the other computer is running on vista. Is it possible to do this?
Yes, you can take that hard drive out of the 2k machine and read it just fine in Vista. What you can't do is take your OS drive from 2k and boot another machine with it, but I don't think that is what you were asking.
Hi.
I have a HP Pavilion dv9753eo Notebook PC, and I was wondering if it was possible to change the graphics card of one of these babies..
The current one doesn't live up to the standards of gaming these days.. (8400m GS Nvidia GeForce)
I've heard something about it being built within the motherboard, I hope that's not turning out to be true..
Thanks in advance.

Since it's a notebook, it's quite possible that your current video adapter is built right into the motherboard. I'm not familiar with that particular model but there might be some kind of graphics port for an upgrade but I wouldn't count on it. Unfortunately, HP Pavilions are pretty basic systems. Might be time for an upgrade if you want to play some of the newer games... How fast is the notebook, cpu speed-wise?
i play wow and css.
my current fps in wow is on average 30-60
my current fps in counter strike source goes from 50-100
both of the games are on low settings.
now heres my current setup
1.25 gb ram
ati x300 se video card.
Intel Pentium 4 processor
and i decided to upgrade the ram and the video card to a
got a stick patriot 1gb ram
and a geforce 8400 gs video card.
will there be an fps change at all?
What you have is pretty good... excellent, even.
Just recently got a new wireless set-up after I put my new computer together and now have it in my house to where the netgear modem is Change LAN Netgear IP Modem on wired to my new computer with a wireless card in the old one Anyways the internet seems to run great and the only issue is with online games It seems that for whatever reason my ping is much higher on online Change LAN IP on Netgear Modem games This has stopped me from being able to play in lots of my favorite servers Now what I used to do with my old setup if I ever saw abnormally high ping was change my IP using ipconfig release renew and restart the computer The ping would be back to normal afterwards I have tried said method with the netgear modem and it still doesn t change the IP So what I was wondering is how do I go about changing the IP to this new Netgear modem Is there some other problem that s causing abnormally high pings Thanks nbsp
hum; your solution (reset or release/renew on the lan side) is not related to your
ping rates. Yea, the old system behaved interestingly, but that was circumstantial.
First thing would be to update the firmware in the router using the Netgear site.
The LAN ip address will always be the lowest available address, unless you use
MAC address mapping to force an association of mac->ip OR
use static addresses.
I would guess that your ISP is using a QoS service and throttling speeds as in

Whenever I right click on my desktop and go to properties, I can't find the taps until I change the theme of my desktop. and here's the tabs after I change the theme: Can someone tell me how to fix it without changing the themes? Is there a particular reason for it?
Please be a bit more specific as to what you mean between the two images.

Change CPU type, you need to Repair Windows first
Not repairing Windows (ie you tried booting first) can corrupt files
Backup (if possible)
And install Windows clean (ie remove partition (on Windows install)
By the way, some computers have a recovery partition, don't remove that

Are you certain it is not just a failure of the floppy drive media... that stuff goes old and brittle, and will not hold data, or read right.
But you likely have a hard drive failing... five years on one drive is a very long time. The symptoms you describe could be exactly that.
Bear with me, I'm new to posting these things. I just installed a new motherboard and I get the CPU ratio change fail error every time. I have tried everything I have read on all the forums and nothing seems to work. I have swapped the battery, selected and saved the optimized CMOS settings, reset the CMOS, swapped the ram. Everything I've tried fails. All I can get is the Windows start screen for a split second. I hope someone has some insight for me.
Here are my relevant system specs: (as far as I know)
Biostar P4M80-M4 motherboard
SL6VV Celeron processor 2.6Ghz (Northwood)
512MB-DDR PC333 ram
ATX 250W power supply
Thanks
Hello and welcome to Techspot.
Your hard drive will have all the drivers on it for your old mobo and won`t work with the new mobo.
You can try doing a windows repair as per this thread HERE.
If that doesn`t work, you may have to consider a format and reinstall.

Hi,
I recently upgraded my motherboard and replaced my MSI K9N-Neo F with a Asus M3A. Both have a Realtek HD Audio chipset, as far as I know of very similar design. With my old motherboard, I used the black connector to reroute the same signal as with the green one to my headset (so my speakers and my headset had the same signal (=audio out)). I could set this with the Sound Manager in the "Audio I/O" tab.
I installed the drivers for the audio codec with the new board and I had the same Sound Manager, but with this version, I can't change the connected devices (by clicking the symbols). How can I get back the functionality I had before?
TIA
SoWhy
I don't know the answer to your exact question but the onboard sound for the new motherboard has header pins for your case's front panel sound connections. When you connect them you should be able to plug in your headphones to the front headphone jack to get the same sound as your speakers.
This is different from your old MSI board that didn't have this capability. The old board did have headers too, I think, but you couldn't use it and the rear sound jacks at the same time.
At our office we have a Dell Poweredge server that can handle sata drives There are two gb internal harddrives hooked up to it It is setup as raid Then there is an external gb hdd which creates a backup of the server or disk using novastor We want more hdd space I am thinking of increasing the size to gb of usable storage That means that I need another gb hdd to for a raid backup and another for an external backup What setup can i use so that the internal gb hdd s that we do have does Change Need Raid to Drives Out for Server not go Need to Change Out Raid Drives for Server to waste Is this possible setting up the internal gb hdds as raid buying a gb hdd and setting up as raid to mirror image the gb hdds and then another gb as an external backup but this would mean that i would have to reformat the drives which has all our info on it and it is time i cannot lose How can i keep the gb hdd that is being used on the server but add more hdd space and have it backed up with raid if i add another hdd to the server will this effect how Active Directory manages the users permissions as the added hdd will have more files on it which users will need access to If i just set the added hdd as shared and give the specific rights to each user as it should be will the server function properly this way Any and all suggestions will be extremely appreciated Thank you nbsp
hum; haven't actually done what I'm about to suggest, but think it over.
First add the two 500gb and config as a new raid-1 (call this raid-B), get it formatted and then split
(remove) one of the drives.
Split the exist 160gb raid-1 (call this raid-A) by taking one drive off line. Move it to the new raid-B and
rebuild using the this drive to fill the new 500gb. When done, remove the 160gb hd
and reinsert the other 500gb and rebuild using the one already loaded.
Effect is to bring the new 500gb raid-B to be fully loaded from the 160gb contents from raid-A
do some homework here; Now you need to swap the definitions so that Raid-B takes
the place of Raid-A.
I changed my font for everything on my pc to help me see better on a flat screen tv
but I've decided to change it back because on some games i play it effects the text and i cant see whats being said... I thought i knew how to do (go to display props., settings, advanced and change dpi) but i can't get it to work and i can't figure it out. if anyone can help me pls and thank you.
What operating system are you using? Sounds like XP. If so also notice on that window the compatibility setting. The DPI setting changes the size of all items displayed. If you are asking about font and size (for text) also see (control panel) Display Properties, Settings, Advanced. Also see Control Panel, Fonts.
This is video shadows Is not Font, it the graphics monitor. card? my it's but create my first post I think I m in the right place-- I get shadows from any lines of font Font, graphics create shadows but it's not my monitor. Is it the video card? from a graphic or any other item displayed on my monitor screen I changed Font, graphics create shadows but it's not my monitor. Is it the video card? monitors and still get the same thing so it s not Font, graphics create shadows but it's not my monitor. Is it the video card? a bad monitor If I have a line of font I get shadows behind and to either side of it going all the way to each side of the screen If the font is dark and heavy the darkness of the shadow is half the value of the font say a hexadecimal value of E E E Lighter font lighter shadow All shadows are always gray-- even from colored font or a colored graphic I have a year old Sony Vaio PCV-R DS Digital Studio It s received a lot of use The graphics card is NVIDIA RIVA TNT Pro Would this have anything to do with the fact that I ve noticed at about the same time all the above happened that my clock is losing about minutes per week now If this is the graphics card how can I confirm the diagnosis myself And how much is a new one going to cost me Thanks DeValle nbsp
Same problem here too
I have the same problem here too. Shadows that stretch acrossed the whole monitor horizontally. I bought a new monitor and hooked it up and it did the same thing, so I know it's not the monitor. I have an NVidia GeForce 2 graphics card and run XP. My computer is a 4 1/2 year old Dell Dimension 4100 with a 19" Dell monitor. (still a great computer!)
My colors went way off for a while - so bright they were fluorescent. I adjusted that as best as I could in the NVidia setting control panel. But the colors are still off when I look at the pictures I have on my computer. This just happened all of a sudden.
I have been doing searches on line for days now trying to find help with this. I don't want to do total hard drive wipe out if I don't have to. And if it's just the graphics card, I can replace that. I have wasted hours and hours trying to figure out what is wrong. I have downloaded drivers, changed settings, and done tons of reading. (my Dell Tech Support has run out for this computer so I'm on my own) I'm hoping you can help.
Thanks a bunch.
hello, I have a new issue. I got this mobile phone from my german friend, it's used and on german, ofcourse. now I wonder is it possible to change it to english, I've already tried but I cannot find language setup and how can I do that. I'm beginner and if it requires software change i'll need your help. I forgot to add that it is O2 xdaII mini
I didn't find any settings where you can change the language and I donno if it is possible to do that with the phones software.
you could try to reset the device. press and hold the power on button and at the same time press the reset button with the stylus (see attached pic)
if you need the data try to make a backup first. all data that have not been installed originally will be lost on reset.
you could also ask help & support at http://www.o2.co.uk for an "english firmware" !?
hope this helps you a little

Hi Guys
I bought some Geil Ultra DDR2 2.0GB PC6400 Dual Channel memory kit (2 x 1GB) 800MHz (4-4-4-12) +Aluminium heat spreader a while ago for my computer build
troubles are:
1) When i booot nothing comes on the screen and then i have to boot it up again this then works and the screen comes on. I have tried moving the memory and all seems fine.
2) As from user reviews on the product the memory is meant to run at 4-4-4-12 but is actually running at 5-5-5-23 how do i fix this to get the correct timings?
I have 3GB of the same memory, here is the link http://www.microdirect.co.uk/productInfo.aspx?ProductID=14777&AddReview=0#ShowReview
Thanks for your help

Hello,
I have just wiped and reinstalled my mums 13month old asus vista laptop.
The odd thing is that there is an area on the screen where the mouse pointer does not work, it took a while to fugure out as I just thought that the program running has become unresponsive, for example when a dialogue box pops up, you need to drag it to the bottom of the screen to be able to click on yes or no, sometimes, the dialogue box is completely in the dead zone and can not be moved.
This is random and some days is worse than others.
Anyone ever had this.
Cheers
You can increase the size of your laptop displayed area, through:
Control Panel
Display
Settings Tab
Adjust Screen Resolution
Usually this resolution is already put to the correct position from loading your display drivers.
Actually have all the drivers been loaded, from your manufactures support page?
