My friend has a geforce 7300 GS OC PCI-E video card. He had is computer running good when he went to view the cards temperature it told him he needed to download a new driver of some sort to use the temperature feature. After downloading and installing the driver it asked him to restart his PC. After loading his PC each time it reached the desktop it would auto restart over and over again each time he tried to load it.

He tried a few things we talked over the phone so I do not know exactly what he tried but his PC would start in safe mode fine. I tried to give him directions to uninstall all the geforce drivers in safe mode then reinstall them useing the disc but something must have gone wrong because now he is read to do a reformat which is the last thing he really wants to do? We have not tried system restore is that a good idea? How would a system restore be done properly in this scenario. He uses windows XP home I believe.

I have a Lexmark Z1300 printer and recently expended the ink that came with the printer when it was new. A friend of mine gave me a refill kit and I have used similar kits on other printers successfully before. I refilled the cartridge and the software keeps insisting that the cartridge is empty and refuses to let the printer print. Can this feature be defeated? How do I do it?

Thanks

It only makes that noise when it's plugged in, and you can't hear it from more than two feet away, so I figure it's normal. Electrons running through the adapter and all that. Is it normal? If any KNOWS, your answer would be appreciated.

Like I never really thought about it but why are the letters on our keyboards set up like this? How come they aren't in order like ABCDEFG etc. Who chose it to be QWERTY etc. Very odd question I know but does anybody know why?

I have a Windows Vista Toshiba laptop. It's relatively new, and everything has been working fine. Tonight I was watching a video, and used the volume control knob on the front of the laptop and it froze. I could move the mouse but click nothing. Task manager also didn't work. I had to logout and log back in to get it to respond again. I tried restarting the laptop, and it doesn't work.

When I turn on the computer while the TV is on VGA or computer mode, I could see the windows starting(the line that has 3 dots running to the right) and then the TV just goes dark and my computer starts normally. Is there a program or something to make my computer appear on TV?

It owns and is G0dlike. It is time saving, so thorough, has neutrality i.e. isn't one sided. In the case that there may be personal beliefs portrayed more strongly by the writer it informs you at the top the neutrality of the article is disputed, etc.

Has many people review it in the discussion boards to ensure that it is accurate, is updated faster than any other encyclopedia, it never goes out of date, the articles have so many references! I can't think of anything bad about Wikipedia. It has taught me so much, has millions of articles!

So why do teachers always say NO WIKIPEDIA in your bibliographies?

I am in the process of building a gaming computer and was wondering what version ram I should get. Will I notice an improvement in with the better ram speeds, or is it just something that will end up costing more than good it will do. Additionally, I read somewhere about an even faster ram type called Rambus DRAM, is that worth the money for the improvement in system performance?

Also, I haven't purchased the motherboard yet, and was wondering if most higher end ($200-$300) motherboards will support the ddr3 sdram memory type, and will I need an even higher end mobo to support RDRAM?

Do these memory types draw more power than the predecessors?

This will be my first build, so any additional advice would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
