TV card by Seymore4Head
I had a working TV card in my Win7 machine a year ago. I opened my case and re installed it today. I didn't notice a new device message. Is there a way to tell if the card is working? I have installed a splitter into the CATV from my TV. The TV has to be on channel 3 to work and it does. I am...

Sorting out the junk shelf, I found some back slot USB ports with the mainboard connector like this (10 pins, but 2 blank): xxx x x xxx Which manufacturer used this pinout? I know there were 3 different schemes going around in the ancient times, but now most follow the Intel 9-pin specification. I...

Adapter Cable For iPod Plug and HDMI Port? by tb
My treadmill has a TV screen and an iPod/iPhone cable connected to it. I'm guessing that the cable has a 30-pin plug (male). I would like to connect a laptop (with an HDMI port) to this iPod/iPhone cable and stream programs to the treadmill's TV screen. I don't seem to be able to find a cable...

How to use WinZip or 7 or any program to merge two folders? Findduplicate files? by RayLopez99
Here's the problem: I zipped the identical folder twice. Then later I found out due to excessive folder path size and unknown other factors I have various versions of the folder, some truncated and some not, some with files of 'zero size' and some not. So I want to 'merge' the two folders, then...

Is Microsoft retarded? by Davej
Is Microsoft retarded? Really. Do I actually need to write my own windows service to produce a popup to tell me when a MICROSOFT UPDATE is available? All I get is a little grey icon.. I don't want updates to be fully automatic, but I want to be INFORMED when a Win7 update is available. What group...

music processing by Flasherly[_2_]
Had this x4 core update phenom over a x2 athlon long enough... Not even, nowhere near the processing power I'd expected for VST- and studio-type main Player plugins. Although there's some improvements, seems overall a token aspiration on my part. I'm mainly about normalization, various gates to...

It was fun by John Doe[_9_]
The traffic in this group has diminished to less than the recent anonymous trolls. Besides binaries, there are still plenty of very active UseNet groups and some newly created. Unfortunately, some have dwindled to almost nothing. Naturally, this group has done a good job of keeping it from...

Failed CMOS battery? Again? by MrTsquare
OK, I have totally failed Gravity search. Amyway, my goal was to post this under my last post on the subject seems like November/December2014. At the time I was asking why my system clock seemed to stay where it was the last time the system was turned off rather than keep up. Seems to have...

SSD (kiss it goodbye) by Flasherly[_2_]
Looking around, sort of, accordingly an hyped situation from who's, really nobody, making the calls. Deleted a few files lately -- carelessness. Buy me!, so some say, and we'll get them back. Yet, there are other constituents, both private users, as well among the commercial standpoint --...

WD HDD Purple People Eater by Flasherly[_2_]
Gave it up. GParted (live boot) and GPT for "full" Win7 recognition/compatibility, that's about as far as I got. Not as exhaustively as thorough enough for my purposes. I've older MBs, not with native 3Tbyte hardware support, which, in the GPT (alternative) scheme of things supposedly is just...

Phenom quad/MB chipset cooling by Flasherly[_2_]
Found some old tiny fans, not much bigger than between an inch, less than two. Smaller than 486/586 fans, not sure where they came from. Took the two PCI cards out and got lucky by swapping the longer of the two, over the MB chipset, for a shorter PCI HD controller. Then, the fan fit over the MB...

RAMGATE in full swing. (GPU/Cuda Memory Bandwidth Performance Test now available) nice for GTX 970 testing ! ;) by Skybuck Flying[_4_]
I had some hopes that maybe RAMGATE wasn't going to be so bad... but in reality it's quite BAD. Seems like NVIDIA's latest GTX 970 graphics chip is seriously bugged. It has 8 processors packed in a 4x2 package, sort of. One of those packages has one chip missing. So that chip is running at 50%...

OT Legitimate battery sellers? by John Doe[_9_]
Admittedly, I am good at reading between the lines, but I'm impressed by the confusion between good and bad batteries. On Amazon, it's rampant. That's obvious because some batteries sell for outrageously low prices with claims of superior performance. Even given Chinese dumping, many of them are...

CPU Install question by Bill[_36_]
I'm doing a new build and installing a new Corsair H-105 cooler over a new Intel CPU. I have 2 questions. 1. I assume it's okay if the "water tubes" come around over on the RAM side. When I was was thinking about it the first time, I was thinking I didn't want to block the output fan in the...
