I have lost my left channel sound on my homebuilt system. It has an Intel
D865PERL mainboard with onboard SoundMax 4XL using AD1985 codec. I have
tested the speakers on another system (good). I have plugged in working
headphones into the rear (speaker) jack and the left channel ...

I have a line on a 26" Phillips HDTV whose native resolution is 1366 x
768 that I'd really like to use as my primary computer display.  I
have an eVGA GeForce 6200 LE AGP 8x video card that doesn't support
that resolution specifically, it does support 640x480, 800x600,

I am building a pc and it doesn't work, so I got out my voltmeter and
shorted the 14-15 pins on the power supply to turn it on, and tested
all the pins. None of the 3.3V's work (there are 3 of them), they are
all 0 V. I just wanted to check, well this is stupid to ask even, but

I upgraded my computer with a new power supply. graphics card, sound card
and memory.  All woks perfectly except starting and sleeping.
When I start the machine, the monitor turns on and the fans start in the
computer, but the power light doesn't go on so the machine doesn't start ...

After about 2 years of using NETGEAR FVS328 router / firewall with
extreme disappointment, I am ready to give up on it. Yeah, it cost me
almost $200 but it is so buggy and less functional than an older Linux
RH 6.2 based firewall that I built many years ago, it's not even

Please post details here if you have assembled a Vista-friendly PC.  I'm
particularly interested in budget systems that are Vista-friendly.
Thank you.

for me.

I have got a weird problem where windows xp keeps recognizing my dvd's as
cd's in my dvdwriter, if I go to erase one of my rewriteable dvd's in
windows explorer it only gives me the option to erase a cdrw and it
therefore does not work. The biggest problem I am having though is it ...

I have a properitary ATX motherboard, but the board is dead.
When i connect the power supply to motherboard, the motherboard turn
on right away(fan spin) without pressing the power-on button. And
there're nothing shown on the screen. .

I have a three year old homebrewed machine that I'm very happy with in
most ways, but it has intermittent problems booting. I think the problem
developed within the last year, so maybe it indicates something has been
damaged by a power surge or something...?

I'm new to the NG and to mySql.  ...have some more experienced people
assisting me but they were unable to answer the following:

Ive been looking at getting a 500 GB hard drive. The question is which
Brand should I get?
Ive looked at the reviews at TomsHardware.com and AnandTech.com to try

Since I've installed vista on my wife's computer, I've had to reset the
clock manually a few times.  I finally found out that vista has a feature
that will auto-sync your computer's time on a regular basis to one of
several Internet time servers.

Ok, so I built the darn thing and it's cranking at 2.7 with a 300 FSB. The
CPU temp is pushing 60 under full load so I've stopped here until new
heatsink arrives. The GPU is reporting 60 also so I've got to do something
about that...
