Computers & Internet - 20 August 2007

I just bought a new HP laptop from Best Buy 3 days ago with the Best Buy warranty. My car was flooded with the computer inside. The computer was in a case but now will not turn on. Will my warranty cover it?

I was able to access this website for weeks. Now, when I try to access it, I get "this page unavailable"
but if I try from someone else's computer that is connected to my router, I can access it?

...How about VICE VERSA?

(90nm CPU on a 0.13 micron MOTHERBOARD)?

-------------------------------------------------------

IF IT SAYS...

System board/Form factor

Supports Intel Northwood processors with 533MHz or 800MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), 512KB L2 cache, and built on a 0.13 micron core

Supports Intel Prescott Pentium 4 processors with 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache, and built on a 0.13 micron core

Supports Intel Northwood Celeron processors with 400MHz FSB and 128KB L2 cache

478 pin mPGA socket

uATX


--------------------------------------


WILL THIS CPU WORK WITH THAT MOTHERBOARD?

Pentium 4 2.8GHz/800MHz/1MB


KNOWING THAT THE 1MB CACHE PROCESSOR IS BUILT ON 90NM AND NOT 0.13 MICRON

BUT when i put a dvd in the samsung hd850 the scepter 19 inch x9w the screen goes lite blue then black then lite blue then black. when i take the dvd out te samsung menu comes up perfect. i tried changing the dvd players specs fom 480 to 720 to 768. the lcds to res is only 1400x900. i changed from the dvd players rgb-normal to rgb-expand and from dvi A to dvi B. this is all in samsungs menu. I am pulling my hair out. the sceptre lcd displays the dvd player when it turns on but not the movie when i load it in the player!!!! What am i doing wrong? i feel like i ate a bowl of clown this morning guys! thanks!

Ok so its a Visiontek x1300 512MB card. Installed onto a MSI RX480 Neo2 Motherboard, and vista home premium 32bit. All of my Catalyst drivers are up to date. But.... After a while the screen freezes completely and I have to hold to power button to shut it off. I uninstalled catalyst and it still did it. So I reinstalled catalyst and it still does it, and every once in a while I get the blue screen of death. Then on restart windows tells me it was an error with my ati driver. WTF!! I'm about ready to go buy a monster HD 2600XT card. That should fix it hu?

I've tried in safe mode but that doesn't work...and it doesn't have an uninstall link in the menu. I think it's corrupt because it won't even start up in order to remove it!

I've been accessing for a while, and now it no longer works.

My whole network cannot access it.

It's not the hosts file.

nslookup resolves to the correct IP-address

ping times out

tracert: output below



!! The website is not down. Works if I try to access from another internet connection !!

The website is not blocking my IP, I own the site.
cPanel -> IP Deny manager shows no IPs

I am not new to Ebay, I have been selling books on it for a long time. However, I have some nice misc. clothes that I would like to put on there. I know what a reserve price is. I do not want to do that but what I want to do is start the bidding say at 4.00. Does that cost me anything else to do that? Also, would the bidder then pick up the bidding at say 4.10 and so on?

I have a pc with 2 RAM slots, 1 empty and 1 with 256 MB. Would it be better to upgrade with 1 512 MB stick to 768MB, or just add 1 more 256MB stick for a total of 512MB. I've heard that computers are faster if the two RAM sticks are the same size, but don't want to buy 2 new sticks.

I get them randomly(and a lot) and I am 90% they don't come from the websites visit. I think I have some program generating them...if that makes any sense? Any way, I don't think a pop up blocker is the solution, I think I have to find what ever is causing this and delete/uninstall it. Can any body help me get rid of this?

Oh and I keep getting pop-ups from this so called "spyware" program, I'll update later with their name when they annoy me again. I also never had these problem until I got onto my colleges server last friday...

I recently purchased Windows XP (OS) at a steep $299.99 (08/01/07) but my laptop stopped working so I'm unable to use it. Although I understand their (Best Buy) return policy on software, since I can't use it I should be able to return it! Besides, when I get another laptop (most likely at Best Buy) it will come with an Operating System already... I could certainly use the money for the new computer!
