Add-ons - November 2007

I had new pc bought last week and it worked well. It has a intel desktopboard DG31PR and a duo core e6550 processor. And 1GB system memory and a ati radeon video card. And Vista ultimate OS. But in the past days after i bought it, seems sometime i have to restart it three times b4 it will work well. Because the system randomly hangs up even in pre loading the OS.( i mean in starting my comp. it will not load the operating sytem, it hangs. And today it didnt even had a display on it. I reset all the connection inside the motherboard and also the battery. I tried to not use my video because it has a integrated Video on board. but still it didn't work. I tried to transfer the memory in another slot but still it also didn't worked. Why? and what part of the pc causing that failure?

I have recently bought a graphics Card for a special gaming upgrade to my pc.
There was originally a RADEON X300(128MB) PCI-E X16 and yestd I tried 2 remove and insert the new one which you can find here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/graphics-cards/asus-extreme-ati-radeon/4507-8902_7-31798958.html?tag=specs
Its an Asus Extreme Ati Radeon X1600 PRO(256MB)..1 more thing:the picture of the card in cnet.com is not quite the same as the 1 i have!any suggestion??
but it did not fit! there's only a few millimetres difference!
my friend told me to buy only PCI-E cards and that's what I bought but its not being fitted!
I have an ASUS PG5D1-FM motherboard and its clearly written next to the pci slot: "PCI-E X16 SLOT"
PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
is there any way to make this graphics card work?
I need to try NFS RO STREET ASAP!
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
;-)

This seems like a dumb question, but with computers, there is never a dumb question...

I have 4 PCs and 4 monitors. I want to use one keyboard and one mouse to control all 4, but I still need to have all 4 monitors available for viewing at the same time. I can still use a standard KVM switch and just not utilize the video switching portion...right?

Okay, I'm looking for a new dynamic microphone to record my songs with and I stumbled across this microphone and it's REALLY cheap which make me wonder if it's a ripoff. Is this deal legit?

A couple of months ago we got a new computer and with the package came two 'rendition' 1GB RAM 'cards' (or whatever they are called). I installed them and the computer worked perfectly well.

Just a couple of days ago I received four 'Ballistix' 1GB ram 'cards' that we had ordered to try and speed up the computer. When I inserted all four of them the computer would switch on and you would hear the CD and CD/DVD drive booting up but then the screen would stay blank and the computer would stop making noises, (As the HDD etc. do when it's booting up) but the computer was still running. (You could hear the fan).

Then I took two of the new RAM 'cards' out, so there were just two remaining and the computer worked fine. But when I reinserted the two others the same problem occured.

I have checked the manual and that isn't much help.

Please Help...

The Windows disk management (diskmgmt.msc) thing will only reformat to NTFS and I've had difficulty finding programs that will reformat it. I don't know where else to look for programs that can reformat the drive so I'm practically out of ideas.
The only thing I can think of at the moment is use a Ubuntu Linux live CD on one of my old computers and reformat it through that.
I want to reformat to FAT32 because I want to use my external HDD on my PS3. It's not like I'm out of space on it or anything, I just want to experiment =D

Thanks

Hello,

I am trying to use my Western Digital My Book Premium External hardrive with my Mac. I have installed Windows with Boot camp and want to use the fire wire instead of USB. I downloaded all the drivers for the HD and hooked it up to the mac. It works; I can access the hard drive and everything.

The problem is that the drive won't shut off when I turn off the computer. It doesn't turn off whether I am in Windows or OS X.

Can anyone tell me how to get the external hard drive to shut down properly when the computer is turned off? I am new to Macs and may be overlooking a simple detail. Thanks!
