bitwisexor: there are also virusses which constantly try to access your A drive, when there is no disk in it it can cause damage .. the same with virusses which set your display settings so that it can damage your monitor

Doris: .

6 possible things:

High Temperature.
Probability = less than 1% since there is no way the technician to miss a high temperature situation.

Hard drive problem.
Probability =~ 0.1% since it is relatively new....

Virus.
Probability =~ 0.1% since you changed HD and the problem remains......

Motheboard problem.
Probability =~ 95% In most situations where something similar happens, the motherboard is the problem. If you go to the store you bought it to fix it and they say that they have repaired it don't trust them! The motherboard should be replaced.....!

A problematic DVD-ROM,CD-ROM,Graphic Card, etc...
Probability = ~4%

God hates you.
Probability =! 1%........

In my opinion is a motherboard problem.....

Doris, Along with what Pythagoras offered. I have seen bad memory (RAM) do this. Everything is going fine, until the bad part of RAM is used...then Lock-Up!

Summertop: i have also seen bad networks cause problems like this .. no total hangups but systems which are so slow they are almost hung

Doris: What kind of cpu you use?
is it AMD or intel?
If you use AMD your problem must be High Temperature and if u use intel probably your mother board has a problem.

ali: I am partial to the AMD. I have it in both my cpu's

ali: AMD and high temperatures? AMD is known for not having that kind of problems since their CPU produce much less heat than Intel.....
Where did you hear that....?

Pythagoras: Come on, you know well that BECAUSE of the lower heat emission it's the most overclocked CPU brand :)

Of we are talking for that kind of high temperatures! Well overclocking isn't recommended in any case by AMD or Intel so any temperature problems isn't the fault of the company but of the user only!
The way Ali put it, was like AMD has problems with its temperature while what happens of course is completely the opposite.....

Pythagoras: I didn't hear that anywhere, i am the user of this kind of cpu (notice that my speach is not include socket 939!).I have a question : why AMD is cheaper than Intel? what is your idea?

ali: I think because Intel had for a long time the monopoly in the CPU area with more than 90% it was following a path with some prices tha defined itself(due to the monopoly). Now(for the last 2-3 years) that AMD managed to create CPUs of even superior technology BUT with less cost, Intel desperately tries to catch it.....
Because AMD's CPUs are cheaper by no means we should conclude or assume that it is of less quality.
Intel woke up and has started it's counterattack!

I was with Intel's side a long time ago, but now i'm with AMD since i realised that AMD is not just an alternative but it now started to define things!

Anyway my next buy will probably be 2 computers: An Intel one and a AMD one....

I tried to get help and more or less got blowen off with my question. So thxs bot and poof off I go.
:o(

mrloupcity: What was your unanswered question....?

mrloupcity: I think you are way out of line with that comment. When you posted your questions more than one person attempted to help you but you didnt give enough info for people to give you a precise answer to your problem.

Pythagoras: Have you heard about the AMD Athlon 64 3500+ ? I have had Intel and AMD....I will never get another Intel.

Doris: Would you like to elaborate slightly further on this? :)

Doris:I offer AMD socket 939.

and that there is no way I understand what all the NetBSD, NTFS, FAT or FAT32, PARTITION MAGIC, Unix, SuSE and Ubuntu, graphical interface, sparse and cryptic, GUI, ifconfig em0 10.3.1.3, and the last 1 shell users, really mean when it comes to computer talk.

hiya all,
Wish I knew how things worked on computers. Like setting up a network for my house.
I got the router and I think the right card for my wife's computer. But everything I try can't make the card work for her computer. Maybe the book I got off ebay will help me set it up; Networking Home PCs for Dummies, cause I sure I'm dumb when it comes to it. TYVM all for your time.

I told this board right off the bat that I was a computer dummy. And then I see replies like,
Unless you have Windows XP on all PCs involved (the "OS for dummies", I suppose, although it's not a disgrace for all others to use as well!) then, yes, it is somewhat cumbersome to set up a nice wireless network. I don't understand what that means at all sorry. And then I also see things like, NetBSD, NTFS, FAT or FAT32, PARTITION MAGIC, Unix, SuSE and Ubuntu, graphical interface, sparse and cryptic, GUI, ifconfig em0 10.3.1.3, and the last 1 shell users. Which I have no way of knowing what people are talking about.
When I did take any classes in school, all the books would do is talk u step by step. And when I say school I mean Community College. When I say computer dumb I'm talking like a kid in grade school, don't know schmit.
All I was trying to do here was see if anyone could help me via PM or even on the phone (I have cell phone), and maybe talk me thou how to set up a network. Again TYVM for the time and any help.

Well let’s see where to start. Here goes, we got a router it's a netgear MR814. And our mean computer which is the one I'm using now, we ran a wire to router and I can get on line just fine it runs XP. But we got my wife a computer that runs ME and we bought a card for it and thought we could get it to work but we can't seem to get it to work. So we put back the card that was in it and tried to run a cable to it, just like we did my computer.
1. But it still does not work. So now I just don't know what to do or try to get my wife's computer so we can make it be able to get on line. Oh we get our internet thou our cable company. I think it makes it a DSL. I don't know if this helps tell people what I'm trying to do but, I hope it helps tell someone what we are trying to do. But if not then guess I may have to just give up hope and that is a sad thing.

I'M A REAL DUMMY WHEN IT COMES TO COMPUTERS. AND DON'T KNOW A DANG THING WHEN IT COMES TO COMPUTERS. SO GUESS ITS TIME FOR ME TO GO. DUMMY MEANS LIKE 2+2=294 LOL. THANKS FOR TRYING.

SORRY to everyone for getting so upset, but I thought I did make myself clear. But again guess when you’re a dummy like I am when it comes to computers you just doesn’t know how to make it clear.

Yes ROSE, I was way out of line with that comment. SORRY it was not the right thing to do. To take out my anger on everyone. :o(

Now the guards for this board say, that it's time for me to stay in my corner and don't come back out. Cause you have talked too much. And you don't know what you are doing out on a computer board talking in the first place. lol Hope all can forgive me but, sometimes a person can just lose their head over little things.
TYVM everyone for understanding (I hope).
:o)

mrloupcity: I don't know much, and a whole lot less than the others on here, but I'll tell you this. My netgear wireless router was a nightmare in the end.

I had someone put that one in, cause I had so much headache with others before. All was great for 3 months, then I started having it suddenly drop and lose signal or lose internet. I finally decided it was outside interference, maybe a ham radio or other transmission drowning it out.

Anyway, we finally got so fed up, that we had it all pulled out. I had the same problem you did with trying to put the other card back in. Her pc is still looking for wireless even tho its not there, I bet.

I don't know what all Robert did. (He doesn't play here) but I can always give you his email addy if you like and you could contact him.

Hopefully, the others can give you some help.

Sally

Tell me which of them is better?
1-a graphic card that have 64 mb memory on board but using turbo caching that can use system memory- and 1GB memory ddr-400 dual channel(2*512)
2-a graphic card that have 256 mb memory on board without turbo caching -and 512 memory ddr-400 dual channel(2*256)
notice that the application for this system is game and graphics task.

#2. I never like to share CPU memory with the GPU.

Backoff: I didn't say what you like?!!!
I say which of them is better for graphic tasks.

he said #2


then he gave his opinion.

Eriisa: Excuse Ali for his answers. he's not yet familiar with the 'American' culture. Or maybe he misunderstand things, comparing them with how they are in farsi, our native language. I appologize.

رضا: Its no problem Reza. I thought that also, and answered so Ali see what Bubba had posted.

Hey, i have a problem, i wanna trim dvd movies , but u know that the subtitle of movies store on ifo file that place on DVD , i wanna trim subtitle too. I follow these steps:
using one dvd ripper such as super dvd ripper to atach subtitle to main video file but the output of these programs is Avi so the quality reduced , and then trim the avi file in a ulead video studio.
So anyone have better solution for this problem?

I use easy video splitter to trim films if I need to;

http://www.doeasier.org/splitter/

Bu I don't understand about .avi? I find it great quality and I usually work with that format.

harley: I know that but i need the program that its output has same quality as the input(vob dvd file with dolby surround ).

AVI is actually a container format, so the quality has more todo with what it contains than it itself.

anyone knows where i can find HTML codes who are working on all browsers?...i used <blink> and it works perfect on Netscape but not IE

Andersp: The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is said to be standard

for anything with html i like w3schools which also talks a bit about standards

HTML codes??????? What is this???? Do you mean tags?
Here you can download the HTML 4.01 specification with the complete commands of the HTML code.....
However if you try to find blink in those specifications you will not find it since this is not a standard HTML tag and it is not recommended to be used......

Internet Explorer doesn't support blink tag!
HERE is a list with what IE supports.....
----------------------------------
-----

Also see this:

HTML Tags that Only Work in Netscape (Sometimes Mozilla or Opera)

There are six tags that are only visible with Netscape. Keep in mind that many of these tags (such as <layer></layer>) are not a part of the XHTML specification.

<blink></blink>
The text within the <blink></blink> tag will turn on and off (blink). This can make text fairly difficult to read. This tag works in both Netscape and Mozilla.

<keygen></keygen>
This tag was meant to generate a public key to encrypt HTML forms and make them secure. It works in Netscape and Opera.

<layer></layer>
The layer tag allows you to place sections of your Web page on different "layers" and treat them as separate objects within your page. Use of this tag is discouraged in favor of CSS positioning. This only works in Netscape 4.x.

<multicol></multicol>
The enclosed text will be displayed in multiple columns. This tag was meant to be used to create newspaper-like columns of text. This works in Netscape 4.x.

<nolayer></nolayer>
The <nolayer></nolayer> tag indicates HTML that should be displayed in browsers that don't support the <layer></layer> tag, when layers are used. It is similar to the <noframes></noframes> tag in a frameset.

<spacer />
The spacer tag was Netscape's take on the non-breaking space. Use this tag to put a specific sized block of white space on your Web page. Note that this tag works in the Netscape 4 and 6.
--------------------

HTML Tags that Only Work in MSNTV (WebTV)

MSNTV (WebTV) has four special tags. This browser works on television sets, so these tags take advantage of that special medium.

<audioscope></audioscope>
This tag displays the sound that the browser is playing in a visual format.

<blackface></blackface>
Text enclosed in this tag will display in a double-weight typeface, different from the bold tag. This tag has been deprecated in favor of style sheets.

<shadow></shadow>
Text enclosed in this tag will render with a shadow effect. This tag has been deprecated in favor of style sheets.

<sidebar></sidebar>
MSNTV doesn't support frames, so this tag provides for a left-hand navigation similar to frames on the MSNTV browser.

Pythagoras: Thanks for your long reply...and yes i knew that i cant use <blink> in IE...my question remains:

if i want blinking text for BOTH Netscape and IE is there a tag (excuse me for using code) that works for both browsers (IE AND Netscape)?

Hrqls: Thanks...ill check it out :)

Andersp: No there is no _tag_ that you can use in both for blinking. There are other ways to make a text to blink in IE and here is one:

Put inside the HTML code for IE and at the starting of writing the code, for example after the body definition, the following:
------------
<SCRIPT>

funct
ion DoBlink()
{
var blink = document.all.tags("BLINK")
for (var i=0; i blink.length; i++)
blink[i].style.visibility = blink[i].style.visibility == "" ? "hidden" : ""
}

function startBlink()
{
if (document.all)
setInterval("doBlink()",600)
}

window.onload = startBlink;

</SCRIPT>
--------------


So with this way, you can from now on use in IE the blink tag in its usual form!
That means if you write the above script, you then can write <blink>Teeeeeeext</blink> and the teeeeeext to be blink in IE!
Notice the number 600. You can change it and control the blinking frequency......



For example in this:
------------
<html>
<body>


<SCRIPT>

function DoBlink()
{
var blink = document.all.tags("BLINK")
for (var i=0; i blink.length; i++)
blink[i].style.visibility = blink[i].style.visibility == "" ? "hidden" : ""
}

function startBlink()
{
if (document.all)
setInterval("doBlink()",600)
}

window.onload = startBlink;

</SCRIPT>


Text-1 <br>
<blink>Text-2</blink>


</body>
</html>
----------------
-----

The text-1 will NOT blink while the text-2 will blink in IE!

Notice the line that breaks on the first definition of function DoBlink() because of the crappy bug Brainking has in this matter.
Be careful if you copy this and make the correction by removing the broken line.....

Pythagoras: Thanks...but i leave it as it is now...if anyone wants it blinking they have to use Netscape LOL..I wont waste more time on it..especially not now since my computer broke :(

Andersp: Oh! That's bad...:-(

But it's really simple to do it.
You just add the above in the code after <body>:

<SCRIPT>

function DoBlink()
{
var blink = document.all.tags("BLINK")
for (var i=0; i blink.length; i++)
blink[i].style.visibility = blink[i].style.visibility == "" ? "hidden" : ""
}

function startBlink()
{
if (document.all)
setInterval("doBlink()",600)
}


window.onload = startBlink;

</SCRIPT>

Pythagoras: Thanks again...ive copied it to my notepad :)

Hey, any one can help me?
I have cd Writer and dvd rom on my pc, i cannect them with one IDE cable to mother board my problem is when i connect both of them to mother board(with one IDE cable) the cd writer can't write and read cds properly, but when i disconnect dvd rom from this ide cable the cd writer work properly. i think may be my system power is little for 3 IDE devices(Hard,dvd rom, cd writer).
What do you think?
notice that my system power is 300w.

ali: Power is OK, but make sure they are set up clearly as master (cd writer) and slave (dvd reader). Or try to put the writer on its own cable and take the dvd reader as a slave to the hard disk cable.

Thanks, i try that.

my friend has a laptop and some of the letters wont work when pressed.. and none of the numbers or symbols either... can anyone give me a clue what to do to get them working please :)

chattytea: what brand is the laptop ?
maybe he has an extra key like capslock/scrolllock/numlock .. this key is usually called 'funlock' .. it locks the special functions which are underneath normal keys

it can also be 'f mode' or 'f lock' or anything like that

Hrqls: ITS A dELL it does have num lock and things... but doesnt seem to make any difference

chattytea: could be that key then ... someone at work had a dell and had the same problem :)

i dont remember where that key was .. it could be on the same key as the print screen key or the numlock key .. or somewhere on the top right of the keyboard

i wont be back at work until the 13th, i can findout for sure when i am back :)

Hrqls: thanks :) I have tried to reformat but need one of the letters it wont do for the reg code and also numbers.... I have only got Xp disc and the laptop has Millenium..

WhiteTower: i connet hard drive and dvd rom with one cable and writer with another cable, the writer problem is solve but new problem is appear:
Now is too much time last to start up windows.
In fact my hard drive speed reduced. what you think?

ali: then the dvdrom is too slow and its speed become the cable's speed, including any transfers from the hard disk :( Meaning, disconnect the dvd-rom and try it the other way:

- hard disk and cd writer together
- dvd-rom alone

WhiteTower: can this problem relate with mother board? mean , may be my mother board has a problem.i say this , because i change my mother board newly.
