fans start-stop-start when booting by
[email protected]
I have noticed with many PCs, when booting, the CPU fan goes on for a few
seconds, stops, then starts again. On some the first start is at full
screaming RPM.
Why is this so?
Some people even think something is wrong with the PC when it behaves thus.

lew
I got a new printer to replace the 9+ yr old laser; replaced
the lan connection with the new printer instead of using the wifi
capability.
Found that win8.1 "found" the printer but using an "wsd" port;
googled wsd port but don't see any "good" explanations as to
the drivers being used.

FCC...Maybe there hope? by

What "last mile ISP(s)" - there's millions of people and two mega
providers in my area, *insured* they're the only carriers, because
they bought out the corrupt local official governments with
franchise/taxing incentives. IOW -my last ISP told me they could not
provide services because one of...

How close are SSDs to onboard memory? by
Seymore4Head
I have always wanted my OS on a chip where if it gets infected you
could just start over without a new install.
With that in mind, could an SSD drive be designed so it plugs into the
mobo? I assume memory is still much faster than SSD, but it would be
nice if everything was self contained.

Win7 late warning about graphics card power by
[email protected]
I replaced the graphics card in a PC. It is only used for e-mail, so I
went to spare parts cellar and grabbed what I thought was a low power card.
It had a PCIE6 power socket, but I did not notice then.
A week later, I got a warning from Windows to the effect that the
Nvidia graphics card does not...

(stumble bumbled) fix for logitech trackman finally by
Flasherly[_2_]
Well, almost. Got the thing apart, found the 'Hidden Screw' I'd
missed before. Microswitches almost look generically orderable, well
marked w/brand &etc. Four microswitches, 2 to a side, regrettably,
on non-swappable PCB (left switch boards don't fit the right, viz a
viz &etc). That means:...

I have a HP C7180 printer with an empty orange cartridge. When this happens
HP kindly stop all printing until you replace the cartridge. You can't even
just print in black, I tried all the tricks I could find on Google. Like
many others I am disgusted with HP. As I print very...

Could a network connection work like a phone jack by
Seymore4Head
I have a WDTV and a smart TV. I only have one network connection at
the location. I really don't need another one, or the current one for
that matter. Both are also wireless.
It just made me wonder if the devices could be made with an in/out
Cat5 port. I say that because I would only be using...

bad earth wire on Antec 900/1200 cases by
[email protected]
I replaced the top fan on an Antec 900. The top clips on and is held by
2 small self-tapper screws. There is a black wire with a lug that goes
under one of these screws. I thought it would be a shield for the audio,
but it goes close to the USB sockets.
Now in the 900 series II (and all the 1200...
