[My screen is blue hue-d]

OK Thanks. I'm still alive

Emm.. Is TFT monitor suitable for games?

And I need to recycle this CRT then...

[My screen is blue hue-d]

Bent pins on the end of the cable will do this

Helo dirtwarrior, there isn't any bent pins. And I kindda 'adjusted' it somehow. It did not do the trick. ... how..?

[My screen is blue hue-d]

One of the electron guns in the monitor might be dying.

See if you can compensate with 'color balance' or similar setting on the monitor.

LLXX, do you think I can repair the guns if it's minor problem like soldering or something..? Is it safe to open?

Is it worth to send it for repair? Mine is a Samsung 753DFX CRT monitor. Or is it better to get a new monitor? Which type of monitor is suitable for gaming?

Thanks.

[My screen is blue hue-d]

I cleaned with alcohol swabs and reseated my card. My screen is still blue... how..?

[My screen is blue hue-d]

Any chance that your vid cable is a bit loose on one end? I've seen that cause this.

Hmm. mine is slot into the mobo. Will try to remove, clean and see the results.

BRB. Thanks.

[My screen is blue hue-d]

Hello all,

I hope you guys are willing to help me, recently my monitor had turned blue hue on off a couple of times. Sometimes it stays blue for a very long time. I don't think it's any settings fault. Either the monitor or my Vidcard. I recently installed Americas Army 2.7 game and played it. Could that game been to harsh to my monitor/vidcard since that game is a heavy program..? any advice?

TQ.

[Is there possibility to repair RAM modules?]

Thanks Andromeda for your reply!

can I use any soap? hand soap too?

I don't have a 'bottle' of isopropyl alcohol, I only have them in swabs. Do I need to rinse the RAM stick in it?

[Is there possibility to repair RAM modules?]

I'll try the cleaning 1st, do u think wiping the contact points with alchohol swabs will work?

[Is there possibility to repair RAM modules?]

Nitro,

Nop they are not overclocked. Infact I think it's running at 100 MHz(original value is 133MHz, it's a DDR btw). Underclocked.

LLXX, how much increment should I give the RAM module? Can I overvolt only one module(faulty one)(I have 2)?

[Is there possibility to repair RAM modules?]

Hello,

Is there possibility to repair RAM modules maybe by using a software?

one of my RAM stick is sometimes faulty, sometimes it works.

Any idea?

Thanks.

[Help me pls.. comp going haywire..]

Here:

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

The driver that is showing that msg is the "Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator"

My one and only soundcard is an 'onboard' one. I did not touch my BIOS recently..

[Help me pls.. comp going haywire..]

Thanks vinod again. I did what u suggested but the exclamation mark is still there once it detected the hardware and reinstall.

hmmm

[Help me pls.. comp going haywire..]

Thanks guys for the reply.

I disabled the quick boot like vinodh suggested. The test repeated itself for like 3 times and then it proceded. Is that normal? Those problems like my DVD ROM and sound card still persist.

I also took out my ram modules and wipe the dust of them and cleaned the contact points..

What should I do now?>

[Help me pls.. comp going haywire..]

Hello guys,

Here's the prob. When I boot the computer, at the boot screen, it sometimes doesn't show it's 'checking' for the memory(usually it goes from 0 to whatever amount memory I have, 512MB). it skips that step at certain boot ups.

When windows is loaded, my DVD drive does not appear(it appears to have problems in device manager), but it did appear to be in the IDE at the boot screen.

My soundcard seem to have problem like the DVD drive too.

I 'chkdsk' and found some errors, but after correcting, the problem still persists. I did a 'SFC /Scannow' but it failed because my DVD drive can't read my in XP CD. The SMART hard drive info/attributes is all fine.

I can't seem to edit the registry although the remote registry is started. Certain programs I installed seemed to not run smoothly. Like my anti-virus prog, it doesn't run it's auto shield.

Help me guys, which part of my computer is causing the problem?

Thank you.

[Computer needs to "warm up" before it can boot?..]

Hello guys,

My computer has this problem that whenever I press the "on" button it wont boot but instead it keeps restarting to try to boot. My computer monitor still stays blank. After some time of 'restarting', I switch it off on the main socket switch and then turn it back on again. It boots after that. Why does my computer needs to get 'warmed up' like what I have mentioned above?

Thanks..

[Possible virus?]

OK guys, probs solved. Had many Brontok.c worm and spywares that my NOD32 and adaware did not recognize..

I'm keeping the auto guard ewido

[Possible virus?]

Have you tried MSCONFIG in safemode? It certainly sounds like you have a virus.

I've done that, but to no effect.

Now trying ewido.. is a good software?

[Possible virus?]

Hello guys,

My pc been acting a bit off lately. Sometimes I hear the 'tung' sound from the cpu(the sound at the moment right b4 the pc turns off). It remains on, but a bit jammy and slow. The memory seems to be used by not sure what because it doesn't match with the amount of prog open(and the RAM used). The problem can be seen clearly when I open "msconfig", the pc just restarts right away. But b4 that I managed to see some rubbish programs 'on the tick'.

Any idea what should I do? tq...

*I scanned with NOD32(updated) and found no virus.

*Also, now I see my computer is processing, I'm also seeing "ping.exe" on the task manager..

[Intel's CPUs cost only $40 to make]

I agree with Ripken,  I've only owned 1 Inhell and that was back in the sday Pentium 1... and from there on I have been won over by the speed and the dsesigns of AMD... AMD ROCKS!!!!

Inhell woohoo!!

[Noisy Motherboard]

Hi guys,

I know I've been posting asking too much about cooling stuffs. But I still can't stand it. The noise from my cheap MSI P4MAM2-V (7095) is driving me crazy. The sound isn't pleasant. I've installed a case fan to help bring the noise down by bringging the mobo/cpu temp down. I rather prefer the fan noise than the mobo

The noise comes from the CPU area and is definately not the CPU fan which is noisy. It sounds like "tuu.." or "woo..". High pitch. It gives me headache at times.

Please help me. I want to get rid of that noise...TQ.

Edit:

Mobo: 37c

CPU: 36c

HD: 32c

CPU fan: 2500RPM

I consider the temps are good to me, but still noisy

[Glitch?]

Well I remembered b4 the power cut, I disabled some services..

[Which part of motherboard to cool?]

Thanks DEADsoldier

I wish the cpu would be placed rotated 90 degrees to the right. Then air flow would be blown to the heatsink below as well. I touched that head sink. It's very hot.. Anyway, what's below that heatsink?

Anyway, can I touch the mosfets to see if it's hot and requires cooling?

[Which part of motherboard to cool?]

That's just a pic of my mobo. Is it the heatsink below the CPU that needs the most cooling on the mobo?

Got another question. Can I remove the case fan from the power suply box and move it towards another mounting spot just right below the PSU? Will the PSU burn like that or something?

Alright. Thanks.

[Glitch?]

I did that myself once by killing too many services

The list started to repopulate shortly.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

So what service should I reenable?

[Glitch?]

Hello, I had a sudden electricity cut recently..

Then when it came back and and I switch my pc back on.. I see things a bit different..

Like this Doesn't have that 'frequently accessed programs' list..

I ran 'chkdsk' in 'run'. Did not fix the prob.

Well, I hope some of you can help me out. Probably there's more 'glitch' which I haven't come across.
