Onboard DVI-D to DSUB not supported

I have built a very nice mini-itx computer with a Silverstone SG05B case and a Gigabyte GA-F2A85XN-WIFI motherboard. The onboard graphics feature "dual HDMI/ Dual-link DVI ports for Full HD 1080 and HDCP support". The monitor I have features D-SUB and DVI-A. It's an Edge10 H170. It's getting on...

computer won't switch on

Someone dropped a computer off with me. It won't switch on. The green light on the motherboard comes on, but nothing else happens. Sometimes the fans spin around briefly when I disconnect the power. I've tried another power supply which I know to be good. It's an Asus K8V SE Deluxe so...

Gigabit switch?

I want to transfer and access files between PCs and a NAS drive and would like to do this at gigabit speeds. I've researched gigabit routers and haven't found one that doesn't seem to have major connection issues. So I thought how about a gigabit switch - could I simply get say a 5-port...

Dell/Alienware decisions

Thanks that's great but there appear to be virtually no extras to make up the difference. I'd have to go for the cheaper Admire model at £1099 since the Desire model starts at £1649 so I'm left with a difference of £450 to spend. I don't fancy the Onyx external optical and hard drives at their...

Dell/Alienware decisions

I have a cursed Dell XPS M1730. It stopped working today with the same fault that required a new motherboard to be fitted last time. Last time being Tuesday! So I'm a bit fed up - it's under warranty (extended). So they've offered to repair again or part-exchange for a new one. The deal is I...

Thanks for all your help. I've passed on the comments to the engineer who's coming back next week. Martin

Cat 5 cable problem

The nail can consider itself hit on the head. Changed the connection type to 10BaseT Full Duplex and it connects. Also 10BaseT Half Duplex works. No flavour of 100BaseT, nor auto-negotiation works. So my next question - is this down to the network cable being not quite right? Given the...

Cat 5 cable problem

I had a broadband problem and had to move my master socket to the front of the house. So that's where I plug in my router. The person who identified and fixed the problem was a telephone engineer. I got him to lay 3 network cables under the floorboards to my workstation area for a small fee. I...

Have I done the right thing

I had my old Dell XPS M170 stolen but was fortunate that I can claim a new XPS M1730 on insurance. I was offered 2 quotations, identical except for the following: 1. T8100 2.10Ghz processor, 160GB disk, Dual SLI 512MB 8800GTX graphics 2. T8300 2.40Ghz processor, 200GB disk, Dual SLI...

Computer slow to start and then it restarts

It was a big meal! It decided not to restart but just to crash. So I did as much as I could in safe mode but then had to reformat. I think spyware inadvertently installed by a 10-year-old was the culprit. Thanks Martin

Thanks - I'll check that out. I've just this minute packed away the computer in question (my workshop doubles as my dining room!) but I'll dig it out later on

Computer slow to start and then it restarts

It's a self-build Asus M2NVP-M with 2x1GB Elixir RAM Basically for the last 3 days it takes an age to boot into XP Pro then powers off after a few minutes. I thought I'd cracked it by running memtest which identified a bad stick of RAM. But the problem still persists. Just about starts but...

I want to email status reports from a Buffalo Terastation

If I tell you that for every email account I have set up using this ISP, I have to use my ISP's server, would that mean that I can't use any other? If so then it my trawl may well be futile. I have used other ISPs where I've set it so the outgoing server requires authentication and I've used...
