Hi, A while ago I purchased a refurbished E6420 laptop. I haven't really thought of using skype on it until now. I found out that the laptop does not have any drivers installed for its microphone and therefore doesn't detect its internal mic. I installed every single driver on dell's website...

I checked the bios and the microphone device is enabled, so I'm assuming that's not the cause of the issue. I will try searching for more drivers...

Thanks, I'll look at those and see if I can find anything. I purchased the laptop as a "refurbished" product on newegg, and I'm pretty sure whoever was re-installing windows on it didn't install that driver. It's also missing the fingerprint driver, even though the laptop has that device...

Hi, The other day I tried using skype on my dell e6420 and I was unable to get the microphone to work. It did not show in the skype settings. I looked in the recording devices window and it was also not there. Device manager doesn't show the internal mic either. I am assuming this is caused by...

I did the driver thing and the card still doesn't work. At this point I'm assuming the card is physically broken. I think he still has it on warranty, so getting it replaced shouldn't be an issue.

My friend recently built a new rig with a gtx 960. Everything worked fine for about 3 months. He said he was playing a game and his resolution suddenly dropped. I went into the device manager on his pc and it says error 43 the card has been disabled on his video card. I tried re-installing the...

No, it's an old monitor (about 5 years old). The problem now somehow went away after I re started the computer a few times. Now there is a different issue where I can see the refreshing on the monitor (it sort of flickers) which leads me to the thought that the connection on it might be slightly...

Alright, that's kinda what I figured. Thanks for the reply.

I have recently ran into a new issue with my computer/ monitor. I booted it up and I have noticed that some shades of white appear with a very slight teal tint to them. I tried two different cables (a vga and a dvi cable) on the computer, as well as plugging a different computer into the...

I would recommend just getting a new card.

You need to provide more information about the cpu, such as its series. Ex. i7, i3, i5 etc in case of intel or in case of amd Phenom 2 x6, fx 8350 etc...

You can try applying some WD-40 to the fan bearings. It might not help much, with older video cards it's much easier to replace the entire fan which is fairly cheap, or even buy a new video card. And again, in general a noisy fan indicates that the fan bearings are wearing out, but the card...

The zoom thing could be turned on, press ctrl + alt + del and look for it in the task manager, then once you find it end its task. If that's not it it's probably the text size set to something really big in the display settings, I don't quite remember how to fix that on vista but I'm sure...

If you game at that resolution a gtx 760 would be a very good choice for an upgrade.

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but 670 sli would definitely destroy a single r9 290 fps wise.

It's not a terrible computer, you can put a 750ti in it and it would be a very decent machine.

Alright, thanks guys.

I was just wondering what is the best graphics card that could run on a SeaSonic 80 Plus SS-350ET psu. I am guessing it's something along the lines of a gtx 750, however the computer I'm dealing with is kind of old and it would be nice to know what older video cards it can run simply because I...

You're the only one that can really tell. You have to take a ruller and measure the area around the pcie slot. Length and height matter, the width should be good since this is not a slim pc case. Then you take the measurements you have obtained and compare them to the measurements of the gtx...

The type of the pci express slot doesn't mean one won't fit as long as the slot is x16. The 2.0 or 3.0 indicates the speed of the port. Both pcie 2.0 x16 and pcie 3.0 x16 can support all pcie cards on the market. I would say definitely get the 750ti if you are to choose, the gt240 is a...
