Hardware - February 2007

It say's there may have been a hardware or software change. Cannot open windows. Any ideas? It will not allow me to go back to settings or open on safe mode. Would it work if I reloaded windows onto the laptop?

My computer has been giving me a Voltage Failure warning on startup. I have a Dell Precision 650. Boss finally bought me an UPS and the LOW AC voltage warning clicks on and off bout every 5 seconds - even at low sensitivity. Would this low AC voltage have caused the voltage failure in my computer when I didn't have the UPS? The UPS is very annoying (clicking on and off on and off).

I recently bought a Acer Aspire 5610Z and want to put the elder scrolls: Oblivion onto it, but I am not sure if my system can handle it. I have an Intel Pentium dual core processor T2060, 1 gig of ram, but the chipset is mobile intel 940/943/945GML (no idea what it means its coming out of the users guide) featuring intel graphics media acceleratotr (GMA) 950, up to 224MB of shared system memory, supporting microsoft direct X 9.0. It's quite a mouthfull but all I want to know is if it can handle Oblivion, and maybe the knights of the nine expansion.

I'm having a problem with my monitor. One day, I turned my computer off, and the Monitor immediately went into "Power save" mode. I did not set my computer to do this, and it took me forever to get it out of this mode. When I was finally able to do so, and was able to get back to my desktop, everything there was huge and blurry. I finally figured out it was the screen resolution, so I went in and tried to change it to a lower resolution. I changed it, and it made the change, but as soon as I did, it went right back to the huge blurry screen. Nothing I do will work and my graphics are all messed up. It just will not stay changed to the lower resolution. I've started the computer in safe mode to change the resolution, and other things, but nothing is working. The computer works just fine, but the graphics are grainy and blurry, and it looks a real mess. Anyone know what could be wrong? Should I buy a new monitor, video/graphics card, or just a new computer entirely?

I have an ATI Radeon 9250 128mb PCI card. When I play fullscreen games, the video is PERFECT. When I try to view DVD's, video downloads or online video, and when I use Internet Explorer, every change in the image or video requires a 1/2 to 1 second refresh of the entire screen. I've messed around with the video card settings for resolution and refresh rate, but have not found a winning combo. Why would video/dvd and everything in Internet Explorer refresh so slow (video is unwatchable!), but full-screen games have such smooth graphics and motion? It seems the game would be more graphics intensive, but they work better... Is there a way I can fix this issue that anyone knows of? I can provide more information if you need.
