    Which components should I test to help diagnose this laptop video problem? It works with hdmi out only, after a probable short

    My buddy was attempting to replace his keyboard and said he accidentally let some metal make contact with the main board. Afterwards he can only use hdmi to his TV and the internal screen never lights up at all. I took it apart and thoroughly tested the cables. I was hoping to find a short in...

    How I get SetFSB to apply changes? Can I even OC this PC?

    If you look at the link in the OP I have a thread requesting help to mod this bios. I have a rom dump of my current bios and everything attached. Also I thought the whole point of programs like SETfsb and software overclocking utilities was to get around having a limited BIOS? Why aren't these...

    How I get SetFSB to apply changes? Can I even OC this PC?

    @Snipergod87 "So most you could really get out of an OC is maybe 20-30 Mhz. " So how would I do that? There is no core clock speed adjustments on setfsb or my BIOS. I also installed Intel Extreme Tuning Utility but there aren't any speed adjustments only wattage and voltage. I raised the...

    How I get SetFSB to apply changes? Can I even OC this PC?

    I'm using version 2.2.134.98 and I get the FSB and CPU clock speed detected correctly, however after I slide the FSB higher and click SETFSB then the clock speed does not actually change. This is an AMI 80.23 BIOS on a Memphis-S motherboard (HP Pavilion 500 223w). I'm currently looking at...

    Annoying boot screen pausing startup each time

    http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/17862-63-noexecute-optin-boot I followed the solution here and while it DID work and make that one screen go away, now it sticks on another one. Gives me the standard options that usually don't show up unless you hit f8 plus "repair your computer" on the top...

    Any way to reset smart data on OCZ ssd?

    Getting a 2nd opinion is fine, but what can I actually do to act on it assuming the drive is fine? I can't afford another drive right now, so I will be riding this one until the rims fall off either way. Right now the most attractive prospect seems to be installing windows 7 onto using another...

    Any way to reset smart data on OCZ ssd?

    The drive works fine, just the B1 attribute says the least worn block is too far from the most worn block. I'm unable to install windows 7 because of this and just want to ignore it but there is no option in my bios to do so. I've seen threads recommending a seagate utility that resets smart...

    intel 845 vga driver for windows 7 32bit free download

    Intel doesn't have a driver for Windows 7 with this 845G onboard VGA graphics, you won't be able to get above 1024 resolution with a monitor attached. You CAN however install remote control software like TeamViewer and disconnect the monitor then control it from your main PC. (I hope you aren't...
