<0> there was gunk on it though
<1> sounds like bad drivers, psyche
<0> it's my old sound card
<1> or a bad card
<0> i dunno
<2> Psyche`: that may be the problem!
<0> i cleaned the gunk off
<0> =p
<0> but i might just use onboard sound
<0> *shrugs*
<1> look for burn on the card
<0> no burns
<1> i'm in a good mood, i got one of my comps up and running today
<2> Psyche`: try it on a different pc if you can, and then *when* it doesn't work, throw it out
<0> i cant
<1> didn't know if the chip was fried or not
<0> i'll just use the onboard sound for now
<1> i was able to rma the board and the chip
<1> i mean, memory
<1> not the chip
<1> but the chip was fine
<0> ugh i dont have the enrgy to deal with the soundcard tonight
<2> Psyche`: don't procrastinate it
<0> i wont
<0> man
<0> [23:32] <0> Memory Usage: [Usage: 869/1024MB (84.86%)] [|||||||||||||||||||||||||-----]
<0> look at that crap
<3> sweeeet
<2> Psyche`: what the heck are you doing to use 84% of you're mem?
<0> thats what im saying
<0> im running windows?
<0> id ont know
<2> Psyche`: well i can't say i'm fond of windows, but 869mb is more than windows uses
<0> yea
<0> i dont know
<2> Psyche`: try rebooting (or halt and kill two birds with one stone and switch you sound card to another pci slot)
<2> *you're
<0> again it's a shlep to move my computer so i just installed the drivers for the onboard sound
<0> for now
<2> well if it were me i'd still be trying to figure out what's taking my memory, and first i'd reboot to see if it goes away, if not, you could check the boot scripts
<0> im going to
<2> or whatever windows replacement for boot scripts are
<0> im waiting for updates to install
<0> bbiab

<11> hi
<11> anyone here familiar with macs?
<11> i just boutha n imac tryingt o transition over im a long time pc user
<11> hello
<11> oh
<5> I wouldn't
<5> waste of $$$
<9> CANUCK3!
<9> Mac =two all beef patties, cheese, lettuce, special sauce and an intel processor on a sesame seed bun.
<9> CANUCK3!
<12> anyone here have any idea of how to figure out if a power supply has failed?
<13> voltmeter
<12> don't have one of those but listen to this
<12> here is the problem
<13> ok
<12> the fan works on it but when I turn on the computer I don't here any beeps or anything and nothing comes on
<12> now
<12> if I plug the power into a HD and the HD isn't working then the PW is out?
<14> are you sure the hdd is good?
<13> hmm
<12> don't know fixing to try it out and see
<13> so u plug hd the hd doesn work
<12> I don't know haven't done it yet
<14> goto basics
<12> i am going to take the HD out of the computer hook it up to the laptop and test it
<2> if the fan works, the hd should work
<14> mem floppy vid
<12> yea I know but when I boot the computer up I don't see anything I don't hear the HD come on
<12> there are no beeps and nothing on the screen
<2> then i'd bet on the mb
<14> prolly or cpu
<12> but we are forgetting the basics
<12> why don't I hear any bbps?
<12> beeps
<14> mine doesnt beep
<12> mine beeps if I have problems
<12> bad video, bad memory etc
<14> gave up tryin to figure out why
<13> hmmm not sure speakers not connected
<2> the reason i believe it's the mb is the ps *is* getting power to the fans, so i'd skip the ps for now, but the hd isn't spinning, so i'd trace my way backwards, and the first thing i see is mb, which would explain the no beeps
<12> this thing here isn't mine I am trying to fix the thing
<12> I completely agree with you myself
<12> that is expensive though and I told the guy that it would be to fix it
<12> I don't even know what it was I think it was like a slow celeron or something
<2> test1: the cpu should say on it what it is
<2> go to pricewatch.com and get a cheap replacement
<2> i got my mb for $30 and it *does* work
<12> I know about that page I have to look this up and see what is going on
<12> how do you take the CPU off?
<12> doesn't it have a heat sink
<12> and isn't that a bitch in itself?
<2> test1: there should be a lever or somthing
<8> no its ez to remove
<12> i got a degree in CSC been building stuff for 15 years but I don't mess with the CPU on the MB
<8> yes lever
<14> if you dont know how to remove the heatsink stay out of it
<2> test1: why not? i've built 2 computers and both of which i've added/removed cpu's
<2> and i don't have any degree yet
<12> i don't want to mess with the cpu because if you bend 1 pin on the cpu it is trashed
<12> it is so delticate and dangerous to mess with that thing
<12> you break off a pin it is over
<2> test1: don't touch the pins
<8> u must be a genius myself ;)
<2> tiggds: why?
<8> jk ..
<12> ok let me go F around with this thing then
<12> thanks
<15> hey guys can a geforce 7800go play most the newer 3d games on notebooks?
