For some strange reason My sound card doesn't seem play sound on my 5.1 properly. I've a
dual boot system. on XP its running properly. So I figure this is an issue with Vista only. My
sound card is recognized as Realtek HD audio. *(My motherboad is XFX 650i Ultra) Now whenever a
jack on the back-panel is unplugged or plugged in it shows and alert and gives an option window
under XP where I can select what I've put. It somewhat allows me to configure any pin to be a
input or output. However I could not find this same option in Vista. I generally don...

Hi All few weeks ago I bought two DDR (not DDR2 i have old motherboard and i don't feel i need
to update it) 256Mb RAM while I had just one 256 Mb RAM. now from time to time computer crashes,
showing blue screen and it says it's dumping memory in physical memory or something like that.
(also the other typical massage that if you recently installed a hardware disconnect it and ... )
my friend told me it happens because i bought different brand of RAM than I had before so the old
one is not compatible with new one and i have to exchange the old one and get one f...

I hadn't been able to play the Sims 2, and I figured out it was because my video card wasn't
supported. So I went out and picked up a cheap GeForce FX 5200 ($50) and installed it in my
computer. Well as soon as I turned my computer on, everything was normal. But I noticed the
resolution was huge when it got to my desktop and when I went into Display Properties, it was the
only resolution setting there. So I figured I'd install the video card drivers that came on the
software CD. After that it prompted me to restart my computer, and when I did, everything...

Well I got two weeks left in the semester and on August 18th I will have built my first computer

to buy a pre built system again /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0"

My new venture shop's computer started to act up. I purchased low-end CompaQ desktop featuring

I just bought a Samsung SpinPoint 250 GB SATA hard drive last night from Micro Center. The windows
installation disk will not detect it. I have a Abit VT-7 mobo, which does support SATA. I used the
included driver floppy to boot with the installation disk, but it refuses to recgonize it. I'm
going to try to flash the BIOS, but I wanted to know if ya'll had any other ideas. Topic title
is very important. Try naming it with more effort. ...

Currently, I am using a Pentium 4 630 (running at 3.0GHz factory default) powered PC which I have
overclocked to 3.40GHz. Combined with a 1.0GB of Dual channel DDR 400 (which my ASRock motherboard
is clocking down to DDR 333) with 240GB (80GB x 3 ) and 4 CD/DVD drives (3x CD-RW + 1 DVD-RW). My
motherboard is being powered by an Intel 865GV Northbridge chipset (800 FSB). It is not like this
computer is not functioning properly, but I want a higher performance considering the fact that I am
runing a lot of multitasking aplications like 3DSMax, MAYA, Photoshop CS3, DW CS3...

The operations that take place when a hardware interrupt occurs are as follows: 1.A special chip
called Interrupt Controller chip receives the interrupt signal. 2.The Interrupt Controller chip
notifies the microprocessor that an interrupt has occurred. 3.To keep track of what microprocessor
was doing before it was interrupted, it saves the contents of registers CS, IP and Flags in stack.
4.The microprocessor retrieves the number of the interrupt from the Interrupt Controller chip.
5.Having found out the interrupt number, it multiplies this number by four (since each add...

Hi guys, I have a IDE Hard drive i think. It says ATA/100 or something like that. I want to add
another hard drive to my computer so i have two. I have a one of those flat cables that connects
the hard drive to the Motherboard and it has one more port coming off to plug in one more hard drive
to that cable. What is the difference between SATA and IDE and is IDE the same as ATA/100? Can i
get an SATA cable and plug it into my ATA/100 or should i just get another ATA/100 hard drive?
Thanks...
