    My Computer died. need help diagnosing the problem

    My Computer died. need help diagnosing the problem

    Was playing a game when my screen went black. Shut it down, turned it back on. No beeps, just a blue screen. monitor says no input. Tried to shut it down again and the power button wouldnt work no matter how long i held it down. Had to use the switch on the power supply. Front power button works...

    VGA or HDMI? Which is better?

    Allright I got a pretty good idea. I'm gonna buy a new monitor with my new system, DVI should be standard at this point, and just use dual output. It will come in extremely handy because I've been wanting to watch something while playing a game, or use the internet. I hate regular tv because I...

    VGA or HDMI? Which is better?

    I have a westinghouse L2610NW 26 inch LCD monitor with hdmi and vga connections. My video card is a Geforce 8800 GTS. When I first got it years ago I started with a direct HDMI connection. But I noticed the monitor would max out at 1920x1080. So I used the VGA converter and I could get a slight...

    Anger and breaking things. Why does it feel so good the more expensive the item is?

    I would like to thank both of you. The fact that it is forbidden, and the fact that the thing you break makes noise and pieces go everywhere make total sense to me. If you can think of anything else I would love to hear it, but for now you have given me a better understanding. Now I...

    Anger and breaking things. Why does it feel so good the more expensive the item is?

    Like a lot of people, I have no patience when i'm tired. When i'm trying to concentrate by reading, watching something, or listening to music, anything that breaks my concentration wants me to make it never irritate me again. And when people irritate me I get the incredible urge to break things...

    Do pop stars have any actual talent?

    Name your music genre, and you know they write their own songs and music. Rock, Country, Even rap artists, which is more of a collaboration of efforts, write their own music. Though I'm not so sure about rap nowadays, as i haven't listened to any in the last 5 years. From what I hear its getting...

    The New U.S. Penny design is a terrible idea.

    I haven't finished the video yet, but its the best ever. I've done the same thing when I had 5 dollars in pennies, but not 88.

    The New U.S. Penny design is a terrible idea.

    I'd say painfully unoriginal and boring are fair descriptions as well. To me though, its the total lack of depth that make it ugly. It doesn't have a feeling of 3d like the lincoln memorial.

    The New U.S. Penny design is a terrible idea.

    I didn't even think of that. And it actually does look like it. That's already a better excuse to use that design then they had. Go Captain America! Well, I'm an artist, and seeing something I look at frequently take a step back is infuriating. Like watching M. Night Shamalayns movies get...

    The New U.S. Penny design is a terrible idea.

    If you are an American, or have even heard of it, you've got an idea who Abraham Lincoln was. The image of the Lincoln memorial on the back of the U.S. penny is both iconic and unmistakable. You look at it and if you've ever been to Washington or watched The P.O.S. Planet of the Apes attempted...

    Is life merely about distracting yourself from....life?

    Life is self-fulfillment, and literally nothing else. That's what you need in life. Find it wherever you please, everyone needs it. What I'm saying is as fun as entertainment is, its a distraction. YOU need to accomplish something in life to give yourself fulfillment. And I can tell you...

    My girlfriend of four years and fiance just left me tonight.

    You'd have to explain the circumstances if you want psychological help. All I can say is be yourself, and be the best person you can be in life. People accept each other when they act natural. Communication is THE key to a good relationship...or finding out you're not right for each other...
