I'm not disputing . . . But, I was always under the impression that a dead pixel didn't have color? As, being dead, none of the sub-pixels lights up creating a black spot. Yet, this one changes colors?

I just recently bought a Samsung 226bw (S Panel) and I'm loving it. I've only had it for a few days and, for those days, there were no flaws. However, last night I noticed what appears to be a stuck or dead pixel. What I'm trying to figure out is which one it is. Here are the symptoms: Red...

So here is the deal. My A8N-32 SLi DELUXE went bad on me about a month ago. I had 2 of them sent to me and had the same problem. Now I've got one that is working fine, but im having some other issues. Number one, I've added another 2GBs of RAM (total of 4GB) and added another BFG 7800GT (so...

I've googled it ... I've done literally everything. I've contacted Asus, but as we know ... that doesn't work. And yeah, it's definately either hardware or BIOS.

Okay, check this out, when I'm booting up I get an error: "Usb over current status" and then says it's restarting in 15 seconds. I've reset the CMOS and unplugged everything on the board. I'm seriously lost! I've been a technician for 3 years ... I've seen it a lot with Windows 95, but never...

Generally speaking . . . everything. You can try and do a repair install, it won't reformat the drive.

While at the black screen, are you able to use Ctrl+Alt+Delete? If so, use the run function to start 'explorer.' I'd also suggest, if it is working, to take out everything nonessential out of MSCONFIG's startup, as this could also be a problem. Next step too, I would suggest taking out all of...

That's not too bad. The 64s do run a little warm, as well as the ATI chipsets. You're motherboard is running incredibly cool ... so overall, I'd say not too shabby.

Not trying to undermine you, or make you appear stupid, but by any chance have you checked all the audio settings on the computer? I know it's typical for microphones to change settings when you unplug them and then plug them back in.

Buy a new one. Get an Antec, Aspire, something reliable. On my old machine I had a 430W Antec running 5 fans, 3 hard drives, X800XL, and some other things ... I never had any issues.

It could be a lot of things, not just a bad hard drive. It could have possibly been a registry error ... oh, the list goes on. Formatting is cake. Virtually stick the windows disk in and follow the directions. It comes to a point where it shows what exists on the drive (partitions), simply...

I'd say upgrading memory might help. I'd vote for lag, but you never know.

It shouldn't harm anything ... and I just finished a build with the Lexa. When I first opened the box, I didn't like it ... but after it's built and running, I'm in love with it. But, you'll find yourself wiping it down a lot.

It produces beep codes. If the board is bad, it will not produce beep codes.

Now that I read it, I realize that I'm an idiot ... sorry about that. I have a fan controller on my Zalman, it virtually acts as an extension to the 3pin connection on the actual fan its self. For instance, you plug your fan into the controller and the controller into the motherboard. But...
