Hi, The range on our Linksys WRT160N wireless router doesn't quite make it to the far end of the house. Is there some way to extend it? There doesn't appear to be an "N" range extender. Someone has suggested some security settings work better than others. The current security setting is ...

I have an MSI K9VGM-V mother board with an on board graphics adapter. I would like to add a PCI Ex Nvidia card but can find no way to disable the on board card either through BIOS or a jumper on the board. Is it possible to add the Nvidia without disabling the onboard card? MSI's web site...

Is there such a place or do I have to visit the BIOS and make notes of the settings? Having all the settings in one file would help. I have found an update for the BIOS and want a fallback position in case of a mess. TIA

I'm having a very strange problem with my computer. The other day I went to use my computer and it wouldn't turn on at all. No fans, no beeps, nothing. However the light on the motherboard was on. Some searching revealed that the likely problem was a failed power supply so I got a new one. Both...

Hello all, My computing style is modest in terms of range of use and power requirements, and as such when it has come time to replace my PSU I want one which is modest in it's power rating so as to save both power, money and in line with green ethics. Does anyone therefore know where I can...

I have a MACHSPEED K8M8MSR2-VC socket 754 MOBO with a Athlon 64 3200+ CPU and 1.5G DDR. Suddenly it will not start up. It gets as far as completing memory check and freezes. I cannot enter the BIOS. I have tried swapping out RAM, video card, keyboard and mouse. I have been satisfied with this...

Hi, On my MSI m-ATX board I was using the on-board RealTek audio chip until the right-channel failed and so I fitted a Creative Audigy SE board that was to hand. This works fine except that I seem to have lost the feed to the front panel headset sockets. If I re-enable the Realtek device in BIOS I...

I plan to buy a Phenom II X3 7200 CPU with a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P motherboard. Of course, this is not an i7 board and it offers dual channel instead of triple channel memory, even if memory is DDR3. So, is it worth paying more for lower CAS latency. Kingston KVR 1333 DDR3 with CAS 9 would cost...

Can I use a 64-bit video card on a 32-bit computer? Thanks Duke

I was told that I would cause damage if I pluged stereo earbuds into a mono output devie. Is that true? On the other hand, I *did* find a page that said damage *would* occur if you used a mono plug on a stereo output device, due to the shorting of one of the stereo signals to ground. Another...
