Quality graphics cards should come with VGA/DVI adaptors for the plug so you can use older VGA monitors.

That's refreshing.:P

Go for it, for the peace of mind.:)

Every 3 years seems to be the norm for ya derrty's pc.

Some hardware stores may not have the exact size/thread machine screws. Don't sweat it, just get the next best fit.

That is a 66 Mhz-64-bit PCI slot versus the original 33 Mhz-32-bit. It is backwards compatible for regular PCI cards. The computer industry planned to implement faster cards for future use through this slot, but eventually, the much better PCI Express slot was widely implemented (as you can...

Since I check-marked the "Automatic Fan Speed" option inside the SpeedFan program, the fan reads as running at a bit over 2500 rpm. This seems to be reducing the heat problem a little bit as the fan is now forced to run at default maximum with little throttling. The program might be...

The brightness and contrast of these images have been modified in Photoshop for more detailed viewing due to low light. The photos have been reduced to 30% in size. Only the power supply and CPU have fans.

Yes, I realize that. I will now open the case and remove the front bezel and place the fan in front. From there I will continue to monitor the temperature to see if there is an improvement. Since the Gateway case is cramped, I may have to go with a similar profile heatsink as anything wider...

Here is the situation: Every couple of weeks, my computer will overheat to around 61 degrees Celcius. I have been monitoring it with SpeedFan and the temperature is normally 23 to 25 degrees but has been running in the thrities, as much as 40 on daily long use. The history behind the...

Do you think he was describing the BIOS screen that is coming up because the CMOS won't save settings and thus defaults at every boot in which he had to exit the BIOS settings screen to boot Windows? If the BIOS settings won't save, then you should reset the CMOS, flash back to the old BIOS, or...

Yes, but what are your system specs? RAM? We can probably find the best card for the best price to suit the system you have.

If you've already restarted your computer after installing each driver set to try to make it work, perhaps we need to start from scratch. Try uninstalling the audio drivers to have a clean start. Driver Cleaner Pro can do this: http://www.drivercleaner.net/professional.html Select "Creative...

Perhaps these exact drivers will help. Scroll down to the bottom and click on "DOWNLOAD" for the drivers for Windows ME/2000/XP. http://support.tangent.com/hardware/soundcard/sb128pci.htm#driverinstallation

Hmm, that is interesting. I assume you've already done all of the following: Running check-sum program to ensure 100%, uncorrupt Linux download Newest or older version firmware for disc burner Newest drivers (or tried older drivers) for the burner Disc burner bootable If cable is IDE, not...

Try DeepBurner Free 1.7 from: http://www.deepburner.com/?r=download When you open the program, choose "burn ISO image". Load your linux distro into the program. Select a slow speed to ensure the best disc burn. Enjoy.

Check to see if there is a sound driver that you can download and install from the manufacturer of the laptop. If you need to know the name of the sound chip, you can find the sound chip's name in Device Manager's list of devices by "Start-My Computer-right click-Properties-Hardware tab, Device...

Nice. But, wouldn't wearing thick rubber or leather gloves protect against that? :P LOL

He'll be fine. If you do not like the feeling of coldness or chemicals, you can wrap the can in a 100% cotton towel or wash cloth. :)

As for "chassis", he means the edge of the metal frame of the inside of your case. Try grabbing its edges with both hands before you touch each computer part just to be safe.
