So I bought a new laptop from Dell, the E1505, and it turns out that it doesn't have the standard PC slot, and instead has an ExpressCard slot. I have been looking around for a wireless network adapter that would fit the ExpressCard slot, but I haven't had any luck. From what I understand it...

Hi, I wanted to know if being High School is eligible for purchasing Windows XP (Academic Edition)? Thanks

Yeah i tried booting it on a piece of carboard (took the mobo out and just hooked up the CPU and the PSU). Nothing happened, I'm still not sure if I started it up right. How do you turn on the motherboard when there is no switch? Also I RMA'd my old motherboard before this... because I was...

I checked the power connection and there is only the 3 prong standard connection for a fan. BTW this is the retail fan that came with the CPU. I really do think that heat is the issue, because I have pretty much tried everything else. Any other ideas to check to see if heat is the issue?

bump... Anyone have any ideas?

I checked the Heatsink and the fan, they are both installed correctly and there is no tape on it. I have no clue what could be causing this problem...

No the fan doesn't even spin at all. When I turn it on nothing happens.

today I tried some things to see what I could figure out: I took out the motherboard and layed down on some cardboard. Hooked up the 2 power connnectors that go into the motherboard and took the cords for the power switch and plugged that in. Tried to power it on by pushing the power button...

So if the motherboard makes contact with the case then it shorts the circuit? I can see this happening, because I don't like how my motherboard is connected in my case, it just doesn't feel secure. Thanks for the replies

Sorry I guess I should have stated this in my previous post It's not the PSU as the computer I am running is currently using it. I have tried another PSU and no luck there. I'm guessing that there is something screwed somewhere between the Motherboard, CPU and possibly the case? I heard...

2 Months ago I was having a problem with my new computer: Today I tried to rebuild it again hoping this time it would work. I had RMA'd the cpu and the motherboard. I received my RAM today that I had ordered too (PDP 1GB PC3200 RAM) Well I got everything installed, I went back to start...

First I am a total newb when it comes to networking, I know very basic information when it comes to routers and so on. My current router that I have, I'm not real happy with. My network between my computers isn't working properly and I'm having a hard time trying to get it back up. This isn't...

So does that means I only have 2 hours left to play?

Haven't played EQ2, but WoW is f***ing awesome.

I'm looking to purchase the Samsung 710T tonight. Right now at Newegg it is $430 which is right in my price range. I don't want to spend to much more if I have too. The only thing is Newegg has a 8 dead pixel policy, and I don't want to get stuck with like 7 dead pixels... MonitorsDirect has...

OMFG I am so pissed off right now. In attempt to pack everything up for the RMA, I run into trouble again removing the CPU. I follow the directions stated in AMD's manual, by twisting the CPU and gently trying to pull up. After about 10mins with no luck, I give a little more force and up...

I think I'm gonna RMA the motherboard, do you think that I should replace it with another motherboard? If so can someone recommend me a better S754 board? Thanks for the help. EDIT: If the CPU is not hooked up to the motherboard would the Power LED still be on, and hte computer be on if...

I replaced the heatsink's thermalpad with some thermal compound that came with my motherboard. I tried to start up and the CPU fan spinned for about 1/2 a second, then shut off, that was all that I saw (Didn't have other fans hooked up, and didn't look at the PSU fans). So does this sound like a...

Thanks guys I'll definitely give that a try. Would this problem happen to be a problem with A64's and SP2?

Today when I got home I noticed that my computer was off, but the power light was still on. I tried to turn it off and turn it back on, but it wouldn't come back on. I've had this problem before and I thought that maybe the power supply went dead. Considering that it was a new power supply I...

sounds like i should just hold off, hopefully hl2 will actually come out soon lol

So if I purchase CS:CZ I can play the CS:S beta, and thats pretty much the reason I want to buy this game for? But is CS:CZ actually any good, I've heard a lot of people say that it is boring is that true? I have been playing CS for a little over a year now, and want to know if it this game is...

That is one sexay bacground ;) ^^

lol How long will it be till these prices drop, I'm building a new computer soon and definitely can't afford anything that expensive...

yeah they're also selling the 6800 ultra for 799.99 :eek:

I have 512mb RAM and its starts to get choppy when in gunfights or when I am around doors. I'm wondering if I should get another stick of 512, or just build a whole new system...

Yeah I can get into linux by booting from the cd to get into a console. I don't know any commands lol so I dont know what to do. I just tried re-installing linux, but whenever it asked where I wanted to put the bootloader, I selected the first sector of the hard drive (MBR) it had an option...

I first installed Red Hat 9 but I got a GRUB error, I don't think I set up the partitions right. So I let linux do it the next time...still the same error. So I decided to try Mandrake 10, installed fine, but whenever I booted up here is what was displayed L 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01...

I first tried installing red hat 9 and I got a problem with GRUB: Grub hard disk error whenever booting. Then I tried mandrake 10 and I get an L with a whole bun of 01's using Lilo. I'm trying to dual boot linux with windows xp, but i dont know i cant get things to work together. I have...

Thanks for the suggestions I booted into the recovery console on my windows disc. And fixed the mbr from there, it seemed to fix my window's drive, but it doesn't recognize the linux. I'm wandering how I should set up this 60 gb drive so I can dual boot both xp and redhat. Thanks for the replies.

First off I wanted to dual boot windows xp and red hat 9.0. I'm a total newb to linux and I thought I'd try it out to see if I'd like it. My setup is like this: 120GB hard drive 1 partition with windows xp. 60GB hard drive not formatted. So I tried to install linux on the 60, I dont think I...

No I dont want Raid, Its not possible with this setup. I'll just keep them as 2 separate partitions. Oh BTW which is easier to do install windows first or linux first? I heard that you should install windows first, then linux, so that linux's boot loader takes over? BTW im using Red Hat 9.0...

I have a 60gb and a 120gb hard drive. Is it possible to partition the 60gb one into 2 partitions of 30gb each, and then mount one of them into the 120gb. Making it 150gb for one drive, and 30 for other. The reason for this is so I could have 150gb for windows and then 30gb for Linux. I'm not...

First off I'm trying to figure out why I'm not getting the FPS I should be getting in Doom 3... On the time demo I got avg 18fps on HQ 1024 x 768 no AA. I recently installed a 120 GB Hard drive, so I reformatted to get everything set up the way I wanted it. Whenever I go to 3dMark03 it shows...

I have winXP pro installed on my C drive and was noticing some major performance drop in opening applications up. So i restarted and when I did I found that it only loads the background the taskbar, icons, and so fourth do not load up. So I booted into Win2000 which is on my D partition and...

Well I tested another power supply from my dad's computer and it worked fine, actually better. What would you guys recommend as far as getting a new power supply? like wattage and brand?

Whenever I got home from school today, I noticed that my room was quite. I looked over at my computer to see if it was on, and it appeared to be, the on light was on. So tried turning on the monitor, and nothing happened. I tried restarting the computer, nothing happened... then I tried to...
