<1> hae you tried another vidcard?
<1> borrow an old vidcard from someone
<1> see if the same **** happens
<0> no.....ya thats a good idea
<1> im ***uming you updated everything of course
<1> bios, drivers, etc
<0> this computer is 2 years old
<1> that's about time for **** to **** up
<0> could that be the problem?
<1> especially if you built it yourself
<1> you might have zapped something with static
<0> nah, bought it from the store
<0> all put together, fujitsu
<1> damn that's ****ed up
<0> ya.....and the funny thing is fujitsu took it in no problem even though it was way out of warranty
<1> nice
<1> well, my router is working, so far :/
<0> im thinking something may be ****ed up about these models ya know?
<0> like they are trying to keep customers

<1> pretty sure that's what has been doing it
<1> some streamed vid, wtf
<0> my desktop looked fine untill i ran a game and the games display got all wacked, then the desktop started getting lines and crap all over.........does that mean anything? ( and soon enough bios will have those lines and crap)
<0> or would that imply anything
<1> video card
<1> dying i bet
<1> try wiggling the card around
<1> and see if screen distorts
<0> these bastards at fujitsu asked me if my bios had display problems too and i tell them yes, they say "oh that means you need a new motherboard"
<1> this pc im on right now had some probs with the vidcard i had to bend it to get it to work right
<1> do you have built-in video?
<1> or seperate video card?
<0> seperate im pretty sure
<0> ya seperate
<0> ****....maybe built in, i cant find a video card under device manager
<0> no no, seperate
<0> Mobility RADEON 9000
<0> bingo!
<2> my wireless doesn't work when it's far but it works when it's close: how can i make this work
<3> buy an extension?
<3> or a signal booster
<2> what is extension?
<3> it connects to the router/wap and then shoots another signal out
<2> i see; is signal booster samething as extension?\
<0> man , there arent even any updated drivers for my card here
<0> is that normal.....3 years later and no new video drivers?
<1> dobbers
<1> are you on a laptop?
<1> that's normal for a laptop
<0> ya, laptop
<2> i can connect to a hotspot at my home but i cannot even connect to my own wireless accesspoint
<0> ****.....i guess i better just call up tech support again
<0> thanks for the help barry
<0> ill try swappin the video card if i can find someone whos game
<0> adios
<4> fellas, i suspect my ati 9800xt died... My monitor keeps saying No video source.. and shuts off. I've tried both monitors (white connection (newer) and the blue connection (older)) ... both don't produce output. The video card fan is spinning.. i just can't figure out what's going on. I put in another video card and the video showed up so i've isolated it
<4> is there a sure fire way to test a video card?
<5> by blue you mean the standard connection and by white you mean s-video?
<5> did this happen suddenly, or did you do something like format the computer before this showed up?
<4> ya
<4> I shutdown the machine
<4> moved it.. plugged it back in, and now it doesn't work
<4> didn't drop it or anything
<5> you moved the video card?
<5> like changes lots
<5> slots*
<4> no, moved the box
<4> nope, slot is the same
<4> everything inside the box stayed the same
<4> case was moved
<2> can i overclock pentium3 866
<5> so this was like, worked, turned it off, turned it on and it doesnt work
<4> exactly
<4> chez, exactly as how you described it
<5> woah..gmm
<5> hmm*
<4> and the card isn't that old... and it's made by ATI, wasn't overclocked
<5> the only possibilites i can think of are so obscure its retarded
<4> chez, suggest them please
<5> like...did you make sure the card was in all the way?
<4> i'll research
<4> yes, i reseated the card
<4> blew it out with compressed air
<5> reload the drivers?
<4> i don't even see bios
<5> your not getting any input at all...hmm
<5> i would look for the newest drivers and install then and try agam
<5> umm
<4> does the video card have like onboard firmware ?
<5> it could have been just a freak of nature
<5> umm onboard im not sure
<4> if this happened to you, what would you do chez?
<5> run away screaming the apocolyps is coming :P
<4> i'm just about to destroy another machine and put it in it to test, but the machine is older... so i dunno if you can do that with a video card ..
<4> yeah the card was like 600 bucks when i bought it!
<4> apocolyps for sure
<5> is it still under warrenty?
<5> did you try it in a differnet slot?
<4> it only fits in 1 slot in the board
<5> o its agp?
<5> im not too graphic card swift :P
<6> im looking for a linux distro thatll run nicely on an AMD K6-2 350 with 192 RAM
<5> MrPockets, do you play Counterstrike?
<5> and thats like any distro..
<6> i used to when it was easy to hack Steam :-X
<5> linux is known for being able to run with very low requirements
<6> yeah, but some are larger then others
<6> like DSL would be nice
<5> i hear slackware is good
<6> but its lacking, almost everything
<5> ubuntu is good but like, people seem to dis-favoure it
<5> but i have heard it mentioned when people ask about easy to use distros
<6> i use Ubuntu on this box
<5> im not a linux fan as it is
<5> but meh
<6> but i wouldnt run it on something that small
<5> 192 mb of ram its lots and lots just so you know
<5> thats way more then the min require even for windows xp pro:P
<6> well i had XP pro on this box
<6> and it blue screened like a sonofaitch
<6> so....
<5> if you can run xp pro then you can run any linux
<5> i have never heard of a linux distro requiring more resources then windows
<6> well thats it
<6> it didnt really run windows
<6> i mean, it'd install and boot windows
<5> if it installs and boots
<6> but it barrely would be considered running it
<5> it can run linux
<5> windows wont isntall if you dont mean the bare min req
<5> which is like 64mb of ram and 166mhz processor
<5> and like 500mb of space
<5> or smth
<7> isn't it a lot more than 500mb of space?
<5> i said min
<6> i wanna see you run XP on the bare minimun and run anything other then Explorer.exe
<5> like, bare min
<5> you can MrPockets, just..really slowly
<5> i ran windows xp with 64 mb ram on a pc-166
<5> it was slow as ****, but worked just as well as my gaming box
<6> but yeah, i just want an internet box that doesnt require servicing
