    reccomend a keyboard

    I second the Lite On keyboard. I've had a couple of them, and they are the very best. Nice light touch. Great. $7 http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16823107120

    Flash drives slow to be recognized & refuse to dismount

    On my Vista sp1 PC, at times, my flash drives take a full minute to be recognized when they are inserted (the box that comes up asking what to do). At times, after using Safely Remove Hardware, the USB eject "sound" takes up to a minute to sound, even though the dialog says its OK to remove...

    No "next >>" when I'm logged in

    If I'm logged in, I only see one page of posts for any particular category. If I log out, there is a "next >>" at the bottom to go to page 2, etc. I do not see the "next >>" if I'm logged in. Weird. How can this be fixed?

    Swap motherboard without OS reinstall?

    Minendo: One suggestion in the "Helping Windows Survive a Motherboard Upgrade" was to change your hardware, then boot with the Windows XP disk, point to your existing Windows installation and tell it to do a repair. Sounds like that is worth at try. Thanks.

    Swap motherboard without OS reinstall?

    I've got a Windows XP Pro machine that I will upgrade to a new motherboard (old: Epox w/amd xp1800, new: Asus K8N w/amd64). Will I need to reinstall the OS or can I expect to just boot into windows after connecting the hard drive? Same question for Mandrake Linux 9.2 :)

    Large heat sink, clearance to PSU (Asus K8N-E)

    [edit] I intended to post this to the "Unofficial Asus K8N-E thread" but fumblefingered it into a new topic instead... I'm considering either a Thermalright XP-120 or Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu heatsink with the Asus K8N board. From the pictures I've seen, they overhang the top edge of the board...

    PC dead, smells burnt

    Checked with Epox, they denied my request for an RMA because I had removed the chipset fan and installed a Zalman heatsink, plus the board was out of its 2 yr warranty.

    PC dead, smells burnt

    Yes, some of the capacitors tops are bulging a bit, and several have just a tiny bit of yellowish stuff on their tops, like it was just starting to ooz out. It feels kinda powdery, but the PC has been powered off since last night. There was a bit of thermal grease remaining on the heatsink...

    PC dead, smells burnt

    OK, after disconnecting everything as you suggested, no change. FF still displayed on motherboard. I tried both sticks of memory, by themselves, same result. After being powered up for about 30 seconds, the little coil thing (copper wire coiled around a donut-shaped thing), one of these is...

    PC dead, smells burnt

    The Windows XP logo freeze was the first indication of a problem. Since then I get nothing when I powerup. The PC shows nothing on the screen at all, and emits no beeps at all, I hear no floppy activity, nothing. The motherboard lights do light up, the hard disk spins, and the indicator display...

    PC dead, smells burnt

    My dependable desktop PC today bit the dust. When I saw it it had rebooted itself and was frozen at the XP logo screen. The PC would not POST, no floppy access at all, no beeps. The Epox 8KHA+ motherboard reports an "FF" condition. The PC smelled like burning electronics, so I swapped in a...

    IBM T40 slow share connects

    Just got a new T40. It works great, but when connecting to a share on another machine (same subnet) it takes several minutes to display the explorer screen, the explorer screen just hangs there, all white. When it comes up it's full speed. Same result whether connecting using the machine name...

    IBM T40P New laptop battery care and usage. Please help the nooby here.

    I just got a T40, and read the battery health help in the battery information utility. Here's what IBM says about their batteries: 3.

    IBM T40 heat issues

    There's a thread in a thinkpad usenet group about this. Seems related to the Crucial ram. One guy tried several Crucial chips, then bit the bullet and bought an IBM chip. Problem disappeared.

    Mini-pci thinkpad T40

    The T40's with Intel 2100 wireless card are having problems with dropped sessions. It's related to the power management on the T40. Disabling PM fixes the problem, but I've heard that some users have called IBM and IBM has sent replacement boards (self installable) that correct this problem.

    Should everyone be buying only centrino laptops?

    MikeD2k3, Thanks for the info. I like the small size of the Dell, but after owning an SXGA laptop, I don't want to settle for 1024x768 screen. The 1400x1050 screens are really nice! So far the screen and the size/weight is weighing heavy. Not sure what to do. Centrino has alot going for it, but...

    Stays off after power outage

    I have an old Abit AX5 motherboard in a system I use as a firewall router. Problem is that stays off after a brief power outage. I would like it to turn back on when the power returns. I don't see anything in the bios that controls this. Any ideas short of buying a UPS?

    HOTTER than Mariah Carey : CAT 5 Phase Out Special -- All cables $0.50 each **up to 25 ft**

    I bought a cat5 cable made by Belkin. It is very stiff, retains bends, etc. It replaced a nice, flexible cat5 cable. Are some of these made with braided wire? Is there any way to know when buying? The flexible stuff is nice for cables you handle frequently.

    Seasonic PSU

    I just received a Seasonic PSU #SS-300FS. I ordered the 'APFC' model (SS-300FS-APFC). The unit I received doesn't say "APFC" anywhere except on the packing slip. Can any of you verify that "APFC" appears in the model number of the Seasonic APFC PSUs? I'm ready to send it back to Directron, just...

    Samsung 181T good choice?

    I'm looking for a nice LCD flat panel. I don't play games. Text quality is of primary concern. I'm currently using a Sony Trinitron 19" monitor so I thought a 17" or 18" would be a good size LCD to buy. Price is an important consideration, but quality is of first importance. I like the narrow...

    Limit on disk size?

    Is there a limit on how large a disk I can attach to an Asus P3V4X motherboard? I would like to put a 60 or 80 GB drive into it. Will the bios/board support that? I checked the Asus site but did not find this info. Thanks!
