Ok I just got a brand new graphics card: Ati Radeon X1300. I followed the install directions un-installed the old one (Ati Radeon 9800) etc etc. Ok when I shut it down with the older card, it would say Off mode in 5 seconds. Then the monitor would turn off.

Now it says when I shut it down Please Check Signal then turns off. Is that ok? It doesnt do it on start up at all. However, once while playing Bioshock it went black and said Please Check Signal so I pushed the cord in the back of the monitor abit and the monitor came back on. This happened about a week ago.

Now just today I was playing Battlegrounds 2 the mod for Half Life 2 and it said Please Check Signal, but this time it went kinda fuzzy and then restarted itsself. First time its ever done that.

Could anyone help me out with this? Do I need a new cable? The cords prongs and the cards recievers arent damaged. Thanks in advance!

I want to buy a USB camcorder to transfer video onto my PC, because my PC has no Firewire ports.

Ineed to find out whether my PC has USB 1.1 or 2.1 ports, because I've read that 1.1 ports are useless to transfer video (I mean real video, not image stills), but USB 2.1 may work out fine. I need to be able to transfer from camcorder to PC to further upload to Youtube, but I want to avoid having to spend money buying a new PC which includes Firewire ports.

BTW, I checked my PC's BIOS (system setup screen) and there's no info about what version my USB ports are. Same with control panel/system/device manager/Universal Serial Bus Controllers/properties. No info in there either. I use Windows 2000 professional.

And of course, I couldn't tell, by looking at either my PC's USB ports or the USB cables I use for my cable modem and my laser printer, which kind of USB interface my PC has, because I'm not very computer-savvy, hardware-wise.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Where do I plug it in?! I have microphone slots, but they're too small and the end does not come off this microphone where the smaller end is on the end of the microphone so where do I plug it in??

I KNOW you can do this, i'm sure, I just don't know where to plug it in and don't want to damage my computer!

I recently bought a Compaq Presario SR1710NX. The stock processor is an AMD Sempron 3400+ 2.0GHz. The motherboard specs are here:

http://tinyurl.com/23myqo

I'd like to upgrade the computer to a dual-core processor. I know the processor has to be socket 939, but I'm having trouble figuring out which specific processor to buy. The Newegg website lists these dual-core AMD processors:

http://tinyurl.com/2hn8hb

Would any of these work? If so, do the more-expensive processors really boost performance significantly more than the cheaper ones?

Any guidance here would be helpful. I'm particularly interested in whether an Opteron-type processor would work, even though it's not listed on the official HP motherboard specs (but I've heard through the grapevine that it would work anyway).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all,

I am having trouble with the above graphics card namely random pixels and banding on the screen. I have the latest drivers from ATI & have also tried a second monitor and cable just in case. I believe I've identified the fault by testing against another ATI Radeon 9800 pro card, so it's not the AGP slot or the drivers or the monitor. The symptoms are random pixels and banding on the screen. These items of noise scale when you change modes and the problem occurs when the card is cold. I've checked the heatsink fan which is all ok. Any advice/remedy will be very welcome, thanks in advance guys.
