    I lost my know-how overnight!

    The voices told me to do it.:mad: This is what I mean pin 6 to pin 4. Pin 4 is the green wire that everyone seems to know intimately. The jumper or a tester will short these two and fool the unit into thinking that the power button on the mobo had been pressed. The title that I lost...

    I lost my know-how overnight!

    This is what I have thought. I do like the Tech Report article on this unit. But it has cost me way more than what I paid for it and it still doesn't work. I'll look up those two and see which one is a better fit for me.

    I lost my know-how overnight!

    This is exactly what I was looking for, mundane things that I might have missed. Problem is, even after I took that tester off, shorted pin 4 and 6, connected a fan and turned the hard switch to on, I still didn't get anything. The psu is out of the case so it's not an issue with the board or...

    I lost my know-how overnight!

    yea, just like the first one i only get voltage on the 5V standby. that tester shorts out the green so you can get potential on all leads. i thot maybe that the fan in the silencer wouldnt turn on so thats why i put the tester on it to see if i had another bad one and i dont get any other...

    I lost my know-how overnight!

    the jumper was the first test while it was still in the case. that power supply tester should be doing the same thing, didn't the picture showup?

    I lost my know-how overnight!

    I'm swapping out my s580 so the system works, since it's running right now with the old unit installed. All the wires get plugged in, and all the king's men are here watching me do it. Why short out the pins? We're big time around here. I know it wont measure all of those at the same...

    I lost my know-how overnight!

    I forget how you get a power supply to work. I plug it into the wall, and then flip the I O switch to the I, then plug in everything and push the power button. What am I missing or where am I going with this? Well here's where I'm going. On 8/26 I spent $140 on a PC power 750 silencer...

    Simple escaping Vista feature

    The only 'Mo' I have is Mood. For all I care they are all under the same mood, WHY ARE ALL THE IDIOTS IN MY CITY! There's a lot of options, I'm guessing it's just called something else that would kinda make sense. I'll keep trying...

    Simple escaping Vista feature

    In XP you could sort objects by date modified, which was good for finding the most recent file created in a folder. Microsoft, with Vista assumed once again that the computer is smarter than the user but it never will be. How can I bring back this feature of sort by date modified?

    Now HERE'S a shipment...

    Did your work? My PC Power silencer 750 showed up DOA. But they included a test certificate to show me how well it worked before it was shipped, pretty nice of them huh?

    Peeved Developer Gets His Responses

    Windows doesn't need the install CD in the drive to load so why to I need to leave the game CD accessible, I mean in a place where I can easily scratch it, so that it will load the game?

    DISH Network Posts First-Ever Loss of Subscribers

    You are hit and miss in my opinion Merlin. I have DISH and while I do lose strength when there is a storm, unless the street lights think it's night and turn on it not enough to block out enough shut down receiver. We went to HD in the winter and they can't climb on roofs because of the snow...

    Building a new computer would like some advice

    I have a thinkpad tablet with microsoft one note and love it. I use it exclusively for school and the tablet feature is incredible, it saves all my hand writing and I can print out all my notes later. Lenovo engineers these things with WWIII in mind, I pour water through my keyboard to show it...

    Against all good judgement

    Well they finally did it. They shoved that driver update down my throat and ruined a perfectly good vista install. To hell with nVidia and Windows!

    Against all good judgement

    I just never installed the WU for nVidia 590/570/550 and it's been running for about 5 days. RAID5 isn't proving to be much of an improvement over the 2 discs striping. With a hard copy back-up that I usually keep there's not much reason to build an array to combat hardware failure. I'm...

    Vista Home Premium 64 RAID5 Problems

    I would need an external card for that right? I seem to have misplaced my manual in my binge, oh well. I got a hold of ASUS and they said return to vendor or RMA. There's nothing wrong with the board other than the nvidia issue at hand. The more I read into this problem the more complex...
