I have a 450 watt psu and a nvidia 8800 gts, ill be playing a game or just surfing the net and all of the sudden "no video signal".
I've had the system for about a month.
I disconnected one of the fans in my case and the problem goes away; so is it that im on the borderline using power?

hi, i want to play the latest games and such but i've read up on the 8800gt and i have found out it can get really hot. i don't really wana change the stock fan that comes with it myself as i'm not really good at computers and i'm afraid i would void the warranty accidentally. Any other good graphics cards to recommend? like maybe the second best?

I have no idea what is the difference between a MB and GB. I was wondering which is bigger? If I see a computer that say it has a memory of 1 GB and another one that has a memory of 2048 MB which has bigger memory. Another question is what is a hard drive and what does it do? Thanks

One day my speakers just stopped working on my computer... in fact all of my sound has stopped working and it's really frustrating. I've tried two other kinds of speakers, albeit that i don't have the drivers for them, although they work on my brothers computer with vista just fine.
I thought it may be a virus so i clean booted the computer, but still nothing, when i pull up the sound area in the control panel it says that no speakers or headphones are set up, even when i plug them in... what do i do? what is the problem?

I was wanting to install some ram onto my hp laptop because right now i have i think 256mb or ram installed and i was wondering because it has 2 slots with one of those slots taken already by the ram i have right now but i was wanting to buy a 1gb stick of ram to add to the second port, i know thats no problem i hope but the thing is, that can i go ahead and take out the old 256mb ram and install 2 1gb memory sticks in the available slots to upgrade my laptop without it going crazy and getting the blue screen of death?

I dont know if i can do this but here is the site to the ram i would like:

http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=0CCDE139A5CA7304

and here is the ebay auction for the 2 sticks of 1gb of ram apiece that i might want but dont know if those are the right ones for my laptop: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150184222692&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005

so thanks to anyone who can understand what i am saying :)

Ok. Heres the problem. I have a laptop and it was working fine one day, I shut it down and about 2 days later I started it up again, but the screen remained black. You could hear all the noises during the startup, but again the screen stayed black. I don't know what to do about this. I bought the laptop early last year. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

So I'm watching a tv show right now (Firefly actually, great show, you should watch it, lol.), and about every 8 minutes or so the picture freezes up and the CD tray starts spinning agian. After about 3 seconds of fast spinning it seems to load the next 8 minutes or so and then turns off till next time.

And then it repetes...Its never done this before, but knowing vista, random problems are the norm.

Anyone have any ideas?
