I can get a refurb of this Gateway Router this weekend for $70 on Amazon with free returns. I'm wondering if the quickest path to troubleshooting is to order it, swap routers, and see if the problems go away!
Thank you. So you're saying the next time I see this issue pop up on a PC, try connecting that PC directly to the router without going through a switch? What am I looking for?
FWIW, using fixed channels is something I tried only recently. The problem definitely predates that. In fact it predates...
I am turning to this always-helpful community because I am stumped, and while my family thinks I understand this stuff (I like troubleshooting things on my own and am usually successful) the truth is I really don't know how networking works. At the risk of over-sharing, I'll lay out everything I...
I've bought several Dell XPSs this way. Watched the outlet, used a 15% coupon, got another X% cash back from Discover or Fatwallet, etc., upgraded the vid card & RAM myself.
FWIW Dell's included 1-year support is very good. If any component is bad, it's likely to show in the first year...
Definitely. I just hate to send the PC to recycling that way. It should work! I tried removing the PCI cards (firewire, USB, WiFi) and disconnecting the 2nd hard drive to reduce the power draw. Same result. Really tempted to try a different card but don't want to waste my time either.
Thanks for all of the responses.
Yes, the Ti4200 still gets me to safe mode but the 6600 doesn't.
@Fallen Kell, I actually have newer PCs and rarely touch this one. I am trying to finish clearing some old files off of it before wiping it clean and donating it to a better cause. Some of them...
Hi all. So I purchased Toyota's 256mb GeForce 6600 (which I received promptly, thank you).
Unfortunately, the PC won't start up with this new card installed. With my old Ti4200, I can get at least part-way through the Windows startup before the video signal fritzes out, and I was able to...
This is awesome. Let me say as a non-techie who knows just enough to be dangerous, I REALLY appreciate Anandtech forums. You are all so helpful.
So I never considered SAFE MODE. Thank you. It started up straight away. I got the latest driver from NVidia, rebooted the machine, and...
I have an old (8 yrs or so?) Dell desktop running WinXP. I maintain it just to occasionally run some ancient software applications that I have not weaned myself from. The video card is an AGP 4x 128MB MSI GeForce Ti4200.
Suddenly the video output on this PC has all but disappeared. When...
I am looking for a small HDTV with built-in apps (i.e., Netflix) via ethernet input.
I am looking for something in the 24" to 26" range for a small guest room, but I can't find any under 32". Are they even made?
There are a lot of under-32" models with built-in DVD players, something I...
I just got Fios cable TV and am stunned to learn that getting the signal onto a PC is not that easy. I ordered a separate SD cable box just for my office. I'm now paying $5.99/month for this box, but I don't have a TV in my office -- just a computer. I assumed I'd be able to watch TV on my PC...
