That's exactly what I just said to my brother! I will give it a go this morning and revert. Thanks for all the input, folks! The 'Acer Community' support forum has been completely useless....
I used to build PCs and truly enjoyed solving the inevitable issues that would arise. Now I am embarrassed to find myself stumped just trying to add a simple video card to a pre-made box! I recently bought a refurb PC and Zotac GT610 (to add dual DVI-D outputs) for my brother's office rig. I...
:biggrin: Thanks again for the help, jpeake. As I looked over the MB I noticed a 2x4 12v power connector that I had completely missed (I had actually 'twistied' the lead for that connector out of the way, thinking it must be an AMD connection). It booted up like a charm. Now I just need to deal...
It is an i5-750...I knew I forgot some critical information. Thanks for the reply. I will give all the connections a good double-check and see if I luck out. They're all new to me, so I may not have seated some of them properly. Thanks again.
Now I remember why I stopped building PCs 5 or 6 years ago.. I need some help with a Gigabyte P55M-UD2 (Rev. 1.0) build. I am using 4GB OCZ PC 12800 dual channel DDR3 and an EVGA GeForce GTX 260. When I power up, fans start and MB lghts come on for about a second or two and then everything shuts...
I agree on the 2407. I am waiting for a sale to pick up a couple myself. I have a pair of Dell 1905s and the build quality and industrial design can't be beat (IMHO).
:brokenheart:The 'Toys for tots' program at BNY thanks you for many years of excellent deals. We will be hard-pressed to meet expectations in your absence...
God Bless!
I managed to sneak in and by some at $79:). Best part is that Monarch, unlike ChiefValue and NewEgg, doesn't charge tax in NJ!
Thanks for keeping up this thread!
I just got back from my local Target where I picked up two of these (there was just one left). They are marked $27.98, but ring up at $9.98. Seems like a decent quality keyboard (black with silver-and-black mouse). Comes with Duracell batteries, to boot. It's still on the Target website for...
Thanks for the great ideas. UnfortunateIy, I solved the issue in a more round about fashion. I was running out of time and decided to see if I could reinstall the OS without formatting the hard drive. As it turns out, I was able to boot from my Win98 cdrom and choose setup. The OS reinstalled...
This is rather bizarre, but the PC that I built for my son 2-3 years ago has suddenly malfunctioned. It boots normally into Win98, but right after it plays the opening "windows welcome" .wav file, the Windows toolbar appears for a split second and then dissappears. CTRL-ALT-DEL brings up an...
<FONT face=Verdana size=1>waqasusman: You are making the correct decision. I made the mistake of buying a refurb 8k7a+ in mid-March and I am still trying to work out the kinks. It may well end up as a paperweight...:disgust::disgust::disgust: </FONT>
