Not a gamer at all, but seeing how half of those twits act at G4, I'm not surprised Mark

I've roamed around HP's site for a bit. When it's plugged into the Dell, what color is the power lite blue or amber? In the monitor menu there's an advanced settings option you should look closely at. Besides power management in Windows, you also have power management settings in the BIOS. Which should be set to "never". I have zero experience with Dell. I know their BIOS is propietary and I have no idea of the settings. If it's not that and it's not your cables, quite possibly you graphics card might not be able to handle it? Let me know if you fix it, I'll look some more Mark

One day, my Browns might make it this far Mark

I finally got to look at her computer. It was much simpler than anticipated. When they clean out the internals, they just blow a can of air into the box. I took the card out and the heatsink/fan were so plugged, I'm surprised it was even turning. You couldn't see the fan without removing the card. Pictures are a lot more crisper and colors are more pronounced. She played a quick game without problem. She used a pretty intense screensaver. I told her not to use any. Now if I could just find the cover for the box, it hasn't been on for more than a year Mark

Does the monitor have a model number? Mark

supposedly the hottest craze on the net right now Mark youtube Google videoes

I remember a long, long time ago, Fram was the highest rated filters ... did you have a bad experience or do you know something's changed since then? I use ... Whatever they slap on at Jiffy Lube. My brother-in-law, a towmotor mech. for many years quit using them. He had a reason but I forgot why. I seem to remember something about the threads but I could be wrong. Mark

Annie Greensprings was my cheapo of choice. It was a Boones Farm knock off. Speaking of WalMart: Mark

Revised link for heatsink tape. I was in a hurry and didn't check my link. Thanks Sethook Mark

I've never had a lappy apart. This site, heatsink tape, uses aluminum instead or copper but it serves the same purpose. Their main claim is ease of automated installation and no added clips to secure the heatsink. Other than that it's the same as thermal compound. I think if you lap the heatsink you should be OK. I'll keep looking, though Mark

Read TicToc's post in this thread. HTH De-crapifier post Mark

Well, it's finally hitting Cleveland. Would'nt you know my truck decided to drop the starter at the same time. Damn truck's too big to fit in the garage. Oh well, I'm not planning on going anywhere Mark

This also happened to me this year. I've ordered several items from them in the past. Around Nov.1st I ordered 4 items from them(early Christmas shopping). 3 arrived in a week. They gave me 3 different dates for the backordered item. Finally they said they don't know when it will be in stock and if I changed my mind, log in and check the cancel order option. I did that, adjusted my debit account, went out and bought something else. So guess what shows up at my door 2 days before Christmas? I'm just glad I had money in my account to cover the purchase Mark

Having worked at a Fortune 500 company, I gotta agree with JDoors. It was comical. They didn't go to India, though, they went to Mexico Mark

Especially in the winter time, if there isn't a computer torn down on my desk, my wife wants to know what's wrong. I never did post a picture in the "show your computer desk" thread, but I definitly would have placed in the top ten Mark

Always wondered why they were extinct Mark

That's why I'm going to be buried in a nice pair of comfortable coveralls. No one would recognize me any other way. It's either that or a pair of ratty cutoffs and a T-shirt Mark
