    Screen resolution vs. graphics card resolution

    One thing you also need to be aware of is the possibility of setting up a driver for the monitor (display) or out to a TV. Windows is probably smart enough to just use the default driver built into windows if it can not identify the monitor or display name. There may also be limits imposed in...

    Diagnosing Bad Motherboard

    Intermittent problems can be caused by a few things. In days gone by we would always assume it was the power supply. Often OEM's would sized the power supply so it had barely enough capacity to get the job done to save money. Sometimes the power supply becomes unstable and can cause all kinds...

    virtual memory

    Virtual Memory too low may have nothing to do with your hardware. It may be a problem with a specific program. Typically a program runs and uses ram then uses virtual memory which is swap space on the hard drive. Normally the swap space has a size limitation to keep from overwriting important...

    Opinions for a new laptop for my sister.

    A fast computer will not make the DSL any faster. She can just upgrade the DSL to a different speed around 2 levels up from the lowest level. Speed = $$$. The other problem is that laptops are not really known for speed. Most of them I have speen are Win7 and an i-3 processor. Maybe...

    Dell D610 - Power Button

    Laptops are very finicky. It could be a loose connection, a bad ground or one of the circuit boards inside the laptop. Then there are all those ribbon connections that can go bad. If you still have a warranty use it. It is difficult to determine if a laptop should be replaced or whether it...

    Secondary HDD failing?

    It is quite possible a file is damaged in the file system and that is prohibiting a good bootup. I think this is typically the init file. http://www.file.net/process/init.html Some malware will use this file and corrupt your system. If you do not like my post feel free to point out your...

    HDD wont boot, but otherwise seems to work

    HP'S sometimes had wierd CMOS setup disks and put the CMOS on the harddrive. It may be incompatible with Linux altogether. Go to the HP service site for the model and see what it says. This is my opinion: See HP Brand ==> Run Away. If you do not like my post feel free to point out your...

    Mixed columns design problem

    Looks like you want to be able to violate table structure design. Parent => sub-parent ==> child This might be described as tables within tables. You could make one table for each table and point to the one or the other with pointers and allow a null pointer. Or you could just build a...

    ER Modeling

    I looked at our diagrams and we use a straight line with 11 for 1 and only 1 (no crows feet)-11-. Crows feet mean many. Then Crows feet with a 0 meaning may have many. Example May have subjects and subjects may have grades >00<. Be careful it might blink at you. I suppose there are other...

    Request for help with Stop Error

    A Stop Error is a Hardware Error not a software error. Typically it could be Memory or Hard Drive, or Video card. Often it can be something like a power supply causing errors in hardware. i.e. hardware not having a good steady supply of power. This can cause problems in hard drives and...
