Follow up for anyone who googled their way here. The chip was fried the whole time, new driver just coincidental.

Wow, i followed the instructions from Microsoft and reinstalled a trustworthy driver, and it works now. I don't know what i was doing wrong, but Windows now works fine. Thanks! I'll go ahead and see if i can upgrade the Fedora nvidia driver. Thanks Proxy, thats a lot more helpful than...

nVidia does not support their own drivers for their go 7600. I have tried the following: "Version 8.6.0.0" from MSI's support site- this one worked perfectly a few months ago I've tried 5 other versions from LaptopVideo2Go, a few of them had modified INI. The Msi version gives me a...

I have a barebones model laptop I bought from Cyberpower Inc. It's model MS-16331, but it's pretty similar to the Crystal M677. I have Vista Ultimate 32bit. I'm having a problem with my video card driver. The graphics chip is a nVidia go 7600 with a nVidia C51MV + MCP51M chipset. I've been...

Hey, i have a friend's sata drive what he wanted me to clean of some spyware, so i put it in the second sata port on my computer. So that leaves me with 2 Sata drives, both have windows installed. When i try to boot, i get NTDLR not found, or INNACESSABLE BOOT DEVICE depending on the cable...

Fixed it. The problem was AVG antivirus. I knew it wasn't fully compatable when i installed it, but it was still working so i kept it. Then, while it was left on one night, it downloaded a core update that caused the problem. There is a helpful tool under the Performance tab of control...

fresh install

My laptop is running Vista 32bit Ultimate, and recently i shut it down after it froze trying to hibernate. When i started it up again, everything was normal untill i logged on to my screenie. From there, everything took a loooong time to load and respond. First i would get a black screen with...

Want $10? Or how about a chocolate chip cookie instead? Keep reading................................ I have a problem with my freind's computer. He's upgrading from a socket 462 w/ a VIA chipset---- to a socket AM2 w/ and nVidia nForce Chipset. His previous parts worked fine, and i...

I was wondering how to install my copy of Windows 2003 Server edition R2 on another server. I havent tried yet, i just need to know the basics: What licenses do i need? from what i leaned from Micr$oft's website i need another server license (which is as much as a new hard copy of the os) and...

His old parts still work fine, so i am backing up all his stuff. Get this: 80 gigs through a usb 1.1 port. WTF? All the other hd's i have are sata. However, i suspect the mobo: 1 it was cheap 2 it makes a squealing noise when the psu is on

im going from a socket 462 to socket AM2. That's a few steppings appart... So i guess im changing my plan. Is there any way to just reinstall windows and overwrite the system files without changing all the personal files? Can i just reinstall the os in that partition? Or will that erase...

Well thanks for telling me about sysprep. I never heard about it before. Before a reinstall, ill try chkdsk /r and see what that does. Thanks

I gave my buddie's computer a major overhaul, i replaced the mobo, cpu, vid card and memory. When i boot up, it passes the POST,--> Norton GoBack starts with the prompt "press spacebar to use norton goback",--> I then see the faintest glint of the Windows loading screen..--> but...

I don't suppose it's compatable with Nvidia, right?

Man, you've really earned your spoils. I admire your talent. Personally, I'm not such a bookworm, and I can't stand my high school Java class. I'm starting off helping a friend start a VoIP business as well, and I hope to end up with your skill someday. Where did you go to school?

Yea i made the cable myself. I recrimped each end at least twice, the colors correspond

The problem is just your wirless adapter. There are some known issues with the Broadcom Speedbooster chipset in the Linksys card. a thread about a simmilar problem: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread12610.html The reason...

That is a house of worship.

the ip was *.*.1.102 and I say t5 all the time, I dont know why. Thank you, I mean Cat5

Update: ive tried several static ip's for the hardline with the wireless card disabled. I get mixed results. Sometimes it connects, and browsers don't work. Sometimes it hangs in a loop of trying to connect and failing.

My desktop connects to the internet by wireless card to a Linksys WRT54G V1.1, 4Port and wirless router. The wireless connection is just because I was too lazy to run a hard line for a number of years. Ive recently ran a T5 cable to replace the wireless card. Im having a problem with the IP...

- Its fixed A fresh install seemed to fix it. I rulled it out becasue it was a fresh install when i got the previous mobo. Funny, all this shit i had to crawl through with a snorkel, and my sister still doesn't care. She's just complaining about the crappy monitor and the iMac keyboard i...

I ask because im lazy. i can get it confirmed and replaced when i see my freind in a few days, or just find something to react with it. Thanks though.

"Luckily, flexible heatpipes do exist, but unfortunately, they are not very practically used and cost a lot to make" -Bill Liu "The Heatpipe Guy" They Do Exist still looking though

To clarify: I have seen two types of flexible heatsinks in picture examples of some comp-cooling articles, but no details. One type is a style of hose that BrainEater was talking about, on a smaller scale. The other type looked like a single-axis flex, flat heatpipe. Here's my exact...

-joke OK, I methodicly unplugged the ide from each drive. They only become active when they don't have contact with the mobo. Ill try a RMA a new one. But probably too late, ive had the mobo for a month now. WTF KO'd it? new PSU... was the mobo DOA upon arival? DO I NEED MORE ACRONYMS...

I wanted to renovate my sister's eMachines (my old comp) with all new parts since its last incident So I had replaced the burned PSU, and fried Mobo. The computer booted, but the PSU incident had also taken a part of the MBR with it, so a reformat was in order. When I was done with the...
