Hardware - September 2007

My mom just bought a hp photsmart 3150 all in one printer from Goodwill for $20 dollars. It prints amazing pictures. The Goodwill store she bought it from had 3 of the 1510 printer and I was just wondering what people thought of them. Is there print quality good? Are they easy to use? Are you happy that you bought it?

I have an e-machine and have had zero problems till a couple of days ago. I turn on my computer and I hear the fan turn on, my usb ports are receiving power, and my cable modem shows it connects with the computer. What doesn't happen is the computer won't turn all the way on or something. The green light that normally comes on in the front now doesn't. I also do not see anything on the monitor. It is like it starts to turn on but then stops. What should I do??? This is very frustrating!

G'day, my fp72g monitor died tonight when i was playing a game. It gave a white flash as i saw the pixels turning white then blank then i couldnt see anything. So i restarted my computer saw that the on off light responded accordingly with standby and on but the screen displayed nothing. My brother recently had the same problem with his monitor(we both got it at the same time) and im pretty sure its something 2 do with the backlight inverter. Now my question is i wish to repair this by myself because i have a lan party coming up, whats the best way to do this and what sorta parts am i looking for???? Also if you live in australia could you tell me where i can purchase the parts.


CHEERS!

I recently bought a nvidia 7600gs and when I put it in my comp it said it would not work at full power because i did not have a good enough power supply. So i bought the recommended power supply and put it into my computer and I was wondering if i would have to reinstall the graphics card for it to work at full power or if it does this automatically once the new power supply goes in.

hi .. i have a simple question about graphics cards . let me illustrate .. suppose i am buying a nvidia 6XXXX graphics card and i have a configuration in mind ( eg - PCI - E , 256 DDR2 RAM , xyz clock speed etc ) . and in the store i find the same config from EVGA and XFX and others . can any one company change the basic architecture of the chipset such as number of pipelines . i know some makers factory overclock it but what about the base level design ? if the chipset is the same eg nvidia 6200 LE .. can one company sell it with 4 pixel pipelines and another with 2 ? please answer only if you know not to earn points and refer me to evga and xfx sites . any authentic answer is most welcome .. thank you ...

My computer will randomly freeze up while i'm in a game or on the internet for just a few seconds or so. I'm not sure if this is a video card error maybe or a ram/hdd issue. Usually happens while playing a video game and then I'll hit ctrl+alt+delete wait a few seconds and it'll be fine and then it will repeat process.
