Any site with photo/ diagram of connections will be very useful.

Since just yeterday, my screen has crashed and it displays, "no input" like it does when you turn your computer off.
It only does this when i play a game called Guild Wars. My screen went blank 3 times last night, and about 10 times during this afternoon/evening possibly more. It does this every 10min (sometimes, 20 min if i'm lucky).

What does this mean? Is something wrong with my graphics or video card?
It's really starting to annoy me.

Hey guys, I was wondering if I can buy a laptop with Intel Celeron M and do a cpu upgrade to a Centrino rather buying a laptop with Centrino already. This way is cheaper. Well, will it be plug and play if I just need to find the same socket cpu. Is the motherboard in a Centrino laptop the same as the Celeron M? Can aprreciate your help. Thx

I mean by selecting 'remove device' and making it safe to remove before you take it out. At my school you don't have the administrative authority to do that, so you just pull it out. I always do it now at home as well and I've never had any problems. Have I been lucky or is there very little chance of it causing problems?

I am a GCSE student with lots of coursework on my flash drive. Half of the really important coursework is fine but the other half is corrupt. The computer wont let me backup the corrupt files or even open them. Can I recover them?

This is not my line of expertise, and frankly I'm stumped as to where to even begin looking. my current card is a radeon 9700 with 256MB ram, so the card I get needs to be a fairly large step up from this. If possible it should be able to support direct-x 10 for Vista. Most essentially it must be of the AGP8 standard (I'm feeling too cheap to buy a whole new motherboard)

i just purchased a syntax olevia monitor, it is supposed to double as a monitor and TV as it has VGA and Component inputs (and such). i want to be able to plug in my computer through one source and plug in my Xbox and stuff through other sources. but the problem is, when i plug in my computer, it will only let me use 640 x 480 resolution. when the TV is capable of 1240 or something. if i plug in my regular monitor and get the computer up and running, then quickly unplug the regular monitor and plug in the new monitor it works fine with beautiful picture, but as soon as i reboot my computer, it switches back to 640 x 480, it makes zero sense, if you know what to do or somehow manage to give me advice that works, ill give you the best answer.
