I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my computer, when i turn on my desktop everything sounds like it is starting up correcly but nothing is showing on my moniter, i have checked with someone elses moniter and it still does not show up there, i am just trying to figure out if there is a way to narrow it down to either motherboard problem or my video card ( which is my best guess) but i want to be sure before i buy another one.

Thank you!

Hey! I want to find out how to make it so that in one image, it is the same picture with all the effects. I have seen this numerous times on mySpace. It looks like if your choosing what effect your gonna use and it shows the same picture in every effect as a sample or something. How do i make it like this?

*and i DONT mean just how do i view the image in all the different effects, i mean how do i actually make one big photo out of them all together that looks like your viewing them!

I was reading up on some computers I'd like to buy for gaming and I saw that one had a "768MB Asus 8800GTX Video Card." This looks awefully familiar to the card from the GeForce 8 series ("768MB GeForce 8800GTX ").

My questions are: What is Asus? A copycat of Geforce video cards? Is it better than Geforce or worse or the same thing?

Long story short...I'm trying to install the display drivers for my motherboard, but for some reason it just is not working. I'm using the disc that came with my motherboard. Does anyone know of any reason why I am getting this error when attempting to install the drivers: Setup was unable to complete the installation. Check the progress in your Windows directory for more details. What is the Windows Directory and how do I check it? Help!!!

I have a usb keyboard. It always worked fine, but this time, when i started my computer, my keyboard won't respond when I try to type my password on the windows users logon. The keyboard works well (like safemode button, etc) until the login screen appears, then it stops working. I already tried with another keyboard. Still the same problem. Any solutions?

Thanks
