Hello, After examining my lamp in the kitchen and reading how Prince was found, DEAD, in his (?) elevator I can now come to the following conclusion: But first a little bit of facts for you: 1. Two components failed in my kitchen's lamp 10 hours before Prince DIED: 1.1 The TL lamp failed.

Hello, This morning the kitchen light seemed to fail shortly, eventually it did come on after me flipping the switch. Then the day went on, keeping that part private. I told my mom, today something terribly is going to happen, if it happens to me tell the people on the internet that I suspect...

The AC adapter of Dell Inspiron 1150 Lapton seems to be died. NO power indicator light on... I checked the DC voltage output using voltage meter and the reading was zero. I am thinking about using universal DC power supply instead getting right part replacement. 19.6v DC output universal power...

I was given a HP Deskpro from a neighbour, saying it was kaput, and he was going to dump it. I ran memtest, no problems. Then disk diagnostic and find reallocated sector count is huge, so disk is going to die. And it is a WD Blue. This was aimed at business market - it has Haswell i7 and yet...

I built my first (and only) pc in 2008: MB ABIT|IP35 Pro XE P35 R Cpu CPU INTEL|C2D E8400 3G 775 45N R First memory MEM 2Gx2|CORS TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF R I installed WindowsXP on it and have held onto that OS for dear life ever since. But now quite a few things have become inconvenient...

I've always used Wordpad for some things like adding pictures and different texts etc because I had confidence they would always be viewable in computers that run Windows. Years ago I would have thought the idea of creating newer versions of Windows that won't open all Wordpad files was so stupid...

Hello, World of Warships is an interesting game. Unfortunately it's filled with dumb people and then add some more dumb people which don't even notice the obvious bots, afk-er and hackers in this game. Also add some forum admin nazi's and you have some bad game experience.

That's a bad move by American big firm like Verizon outsourcing job to foreign country. Trump was talking about American firm outsourcing jobs to foreign country in his campaign more than any other candidate. Verizon sold tech supporter service to India so whenever I call about tech support my...

I received a PC i5-2400 on Asus P8P67 mainboard. In the UEFI gooey BIOS, I noticed the CPU fan hits top speed and temperature keeps rising, rising to 80 Celcius if you sit and watch long enough, whereupon I chicken out and switched it off. Now the CPU is going at maximum frequency, and also the...

When I set up Storage Spaces in my Win 10 system for data, I chose two-way mirror, using 2 physical drives, because I wanted "resiliency" (I wanted data redundancy in case of a drive failure). That seems to work fine. But now that I've learned a bit more about storage spaces, I'm wondering if maybe...

Today I noticed something strange (couple of minutes ago), 3 march 2016 at 14:50. I was about to start computering/internetting. Googling (and facebooking and linked-in something I rarely do). I noticed the connection was very slow. Websites would load very slow or not at all.

USB 3.0, SATA and Firewire all send 2 extra bits for each octet to maintain clock sync. Ergo, actual useful data rate is the Mb/s divided by 10. So why does every sheep on the planet say for example that USB 3.0 is capable of 625 MB/s when it is only 500 MB/s?

I've seen threads on this. It's apparently a software problem with some (one or more) driver. Anyway, it's not my HD (I did scan check, long version, and it's fine). Annoying. Sometimes you get the "rotating circle wait icon" for ten minutes before you finally get the log-in screen. Legal...

I was asked to look at a computer. When you turn it on, only a single dash for a cursor displays. I guess the next step is to open the case and unplug everything. Is there something else I can try before I open the case?

I use LView to copy and crop and re-size photos and it works great for almost everything. It even works great for Youtube videos. But when I try doing it with videos I play using Windows Media Player at first it looks like it did the job, but then when I select an area and choose copy and they try...

This is just fascinating me. Apparently only for people who can build stuff. That's what I was looking for. Otherwise, everybody would be doing it. https://youtu.be/epIlB49SNTI?t=474 There he is self-critical about his system, but if you zoom in and look at the specs, you will notice it's...

Hello, It's time to report this new problem that my system has with Windows 7 and X-Com 2. X-Com 2 is a video game which uses bink video player to play scenes. During the video scene I tried to increasing the volume and also pressed alt-tab on purpose.

Hi all, Have an ASUS A8N5X mb with NVIDIA Gforce (dual display) graphics card. Booted this morning and I get beep codes. One long and three short which I understand is video problem. Got no video ofcourse. Sounds like the computer is booting normally. Tried reseating the graphics card and checked...

https://youtu.be/cZUTo6CPYyM?t=324 Connecting a fancy video card via a long ribbon extender (not from bitcoin people). I'm not 100% sure what it's about, but it's worth noting IMO.
