    21.3" LCD display flickering

    I'm not 100% sure, but this does sound like a bad screen to me. Try reinstalling your graphics card driver for your laptop (if you have it available), it may just be a corrupt driver. If that doesn't work, I'd call tech support, explain the issue, and get it RMA'd. Creston

    Flickering After Dusting off Video Card

    You could have gotten some dust stuck in a certain area of the card where it's interfering with the picture. Get a can of compressed air, take the card out, then completely blow it clean of any and all specks of dust, make sure to spray in all the connectors, nooks crannies etc. Then, also...

    Did my Hard Drive die?

    It does sound like a corruption on your HD, but I don't know if it's actually dead or not. What OS do you have? You can try booting into the Recovery console (if you have 2K or XP), and running a chckdsk from the console, letting it fix all errors. Creston

    Need some expert opinions on system/hardware issue.

    He already did. I doubt it's the CPU, since you said you were able to run Memtest on it for 4 hours straight. If that CPU is having issues, I don't think it'd run for four hours... If you can, I'd suggest installing and running Prime95's torture test, but it seems your system won't stay up...

    My PC won't POST!!!

    "How can they just die with the PC running?" Ehm, because they're electronic things usually made in Taiwan? :) It's kinda tough to figure out which it is with you not having a spare video card available, although I'd recommend trying to boot without the video card connected, and see if it...

    Random Shutdowns....fans dont shutdown though....

    How is the airflow in your case? Lockups like that I would normally attribute to overheating. have you run a simple chkdsk on your harddisk to see if there are any bad clusters etc on it? Creston

    black screen

    Not quite sure I understood, you're trying with two monitors, right? Are you using the same video cable for both monitors? It might be that the cable is not working right, there could be some bent pins on it? But the beeps, memory parity error sounds suspicious. Are the two dimms a matched...

    computer not responding in regular windows or safe mode unless it is admin

    I doubt it's a fragmented MFT, although it's possible. But you would see the same issue with the administrator account. I'd say it's simply a corrupted profile issue. Log in as administrator, and go to C:\Documents and Settings. RENAME the offending profile (it's a folder named as the...

    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro failure?

    To me it sounds like a very very bad DIMM. Download memtest from www.memtest.org (you'll want memtest+), you can make a bootdisk or a bootable CD, and let it run. If that craps out AT ALL, your memory is bad. You'll want to try it with one dimm at a time to see which one is bad. Also you...

    Hard Drive starting to go.

    "Are there any utilities that could somehow back up my failing hard drive system files and transfer them to the new partition? " I wouldn't really bother with backing up your system files, to be honest. Take the time to simply install fresh, that way you won't have any potential issues with...

    Made some hardware upgrades; Windows won't load

    "Is 370W too little for this system? " Well, there are two thoughts on that, but considering the amount of hardware you have in your system, I'm definitely thinking that you have too little juice going. It's pretty easy to check btw. Take out your Lite-On CD-RW, and power up, see if it...

    Video Conferencing over the Internet

    Hi all, This is pretty lengthy, so thanks in advance if you manage to read through it all. I use netmeeting to talk with my parents who live in Europe (I'm in the States). Up until two months ago, it all worked fine. We'd have video, sound, could send messages, files, everything. My dad...

    Lower than expected performance. Help me out!

    The OCZ is 2-2-2 I think, but that won't be your issue with an Athlon64 anyways, since it has an integrated memory controller. A possibility is that your CPU isn't running at the speed you think it's running. Download a benchmark tool (3dmark or sisoft sandra) and see what clockspeed it's...

    Office 2000 installer doesn't pop up

    Hey all, I have a user who is experiencing strange issues within Outlook and Word (of Office 2000). Since I don't know what's causing the issues, I figured I would try to repair the office installation, to see if that would clear things up. The bad thing is, I can't get the actual office...

    Moved, now internet explorer adds another 'www.' and '.org' to webpages in address bar.

    Download Microsoft AntiSpyware and let it run, see if you're infested with spyware. It sounds like it... Without more knowledge on how your internet system is set up at work I can't really offer much more advice. Creston

    Smoke from new computer, should I continue to build it?

    *Looks quite smug at everyone else* :P Try newegg.com, they usually say. Also, check the thread on the General Forum here about power supplies, and ask there, they can definitely help you out with that. But I use a 20 pins connector in a 24 pins mobo, even without an adapter, and it runs...

    BLUE SCREEN of death and then restart after XP splash screen

    I'm seeing the "windows dies after splash screen" issue quite a lot at work, and it's usually a corrupt windows install. If you've had this machine for four years, and never once reinstalled, there's probably four years worth of junk in your Registry (No offense to you btw, most of that stuff is...

    New rig Problems

    I can't blame ya there. After all the trouble my new rig has given me, I think next time I'll just shell out for a Falcon Northwest. (then again, at the time I do finally upgrade, I will feel differently, ofcourse. :) Still, returning it, and buying different parts is probably smart...

    Problems with A7N8X-VM/400

    I agree it's most likely a PCI IRQ sharing problem, but I'd like to throw a second option in there for overheating. You say everything's a very tight fit, which means you probably have close to zero airflow through your case. Try the same procedure but with the side of your case removed, see...

    New rig Problems

    400W should be plenty. Check how many Amps (A) it has on the +12V rail. There should be a sticker on your PSU with that information. You want at least about 15 Amps or so, depending on how many devices you have in your system. Creston

    Crashes with games

    When it says the system has recovered from serious errors, is it talking about Harddisk errors? You may want to let chkdsk run on your drive, see if it doesn't have any bad clusters on it. Alternatively, your computer might be overheating. After it crashes, immediately go into the BIOS, and...

    Smoke from new computer, should I continue to build it?

    Some black soot on a connector doesn't automatically mean it won't work. I've seen posts by people who say their dimms still work even if the connectors seem to have black marks on them. Besides, he's sure gone through a lot of typing for a gag.... Grimbor, I think your mobo is just fried...

    Smoke from new computer, should I continue to build it?

    You CAN'T put a DIMM in backwards without applying absolutely inhuman amounts of strength. You'd basically be forcing the bridge right through solid material. I doubt many people would even be capable of such a feat. It wouldn't have caused burns on your DIMMs. And thanks for explaining that...

    80 GB Seagate makes loud clank sound

    New rig Problems

    Does your motherboard manual say what the Beep pause Beep means? It can mean different things for different motherboards (hello standards!). It could very well be a power supply issue. Can you check what kind of specs the power supply has? When you say you've swapped all the parts, does...

    Help new build freezes

    You want to be really careful with doing that too many times, it seems like a massive overheating issue. Check the BIOS and set the failsafe defaults, and make sure that the multiplier isn't set WAY too high for your CPU. Normally I'd say that MEMTEST failing is a sign of memory failure...

    Newly installed MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum PROBLEMS!!!

    Check in the device manager to see if there are any exclamation points or question marks in your Universal Serial Bus Controllers section. There should at least be a USB Root Hub, USB 2.0 Root Hub and several other controllers in there. If there aren't, then that's likely to be your culprit...
