Omega Member	posted October 13, 2009 08:23 PM When I choose automatic update, it automatically goes back to NVDIA Could someone check for me what kind of network card the hy pavilion dv6000 or 6416ca use? I'm pretty confident its broadcom. I just don't understand why it doesnt want to install Robert

thror Member	posted October 14, 2009 05:00 PM Here's a really strange one. The clock on my computer (bottom right hand corner) is continually 10 minutes fast. I reset it any time i notice, and it is set to automatically synchronize the time once/day. 3 hours later, its 10 minutes fast again. This has only been happening in the last week, and it's never been more than 10 minutes fast. Any suggestions?

thror Member	posted October 18, 2009 05:05 PM So no help for me? My computer appears to be counting seconds too quickly, any way to slow it down?

Is it specifically always 10 minutes fast, or does the amount of time that it's out of sync change noticably? If it's consistently 10 minutes off, sounds like it's getting the info from a time server that is 10 minutes fast. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!

thror Member	posted October 19, 2009 12:04 PM To clarify, it is counting seconds too fast. I can tell when i just watch it tic seconds that it's too fast. I synch it with an online server to the correct time (matches that of all the other clocks in the house). After about 1 hour, it is 8-10 minutes fast. I followed the link thanos posted, and went thru the steps one of the users posted to no avail. It sounds like my motherboard has a bad clock (yea, go Dell), and that there isnt much to be done about it, because I am not about to rebuild a 6 yr old machine. Maybe just get a new one for christmas. [Edited 1 times, lastly by thror on October 19, 2009]

What kind of mobo error would cause it to speed up until it was exactly 10 minutes fast and then stop? Did you try reinstalling the OS? A pain, I know, but worth a try before you buy a new system.

I know this usually only works when the time is slow but you never know, weirder things have happened in the computer world.
Omega Member	posted October 21, 2009 09:33 AM I didn't have much success with the links given. I was thinking about getting a wireless USB adapter. Good idea? Are all brands and adapter the same? Or are some better than others? Robert
JesusChristMD Member	posted October 22, 2009 05:44 PM So on tuesday I was browsing when my computer blue-screened and restarted. Now my computer continually re-starts during start-up (always blue-screening). I've tried spin-rite and other things but my HD seems ok. So I'm like 95% sure it's a virus of some sort. Anyone dealt with this before or know how to deal with it? __________________ Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"
BoltBait Moderator	posted October 22, 2009 07:18 PM Actually, JesusChristMD, it sounds like a bad driver. Boot in safe mode and revert to the previous restore point? __________________ Everyone you meet is going through something * BoltBait is the official holder of the MOTL Logout Button [Trades] [Rules] [FAQ] [Prices] [Card Searches] [Tools] [WotC] [Dominoes] [Art] [#MOTL Chat] [Logout] [Edited 1 times, lastly by BoltBait on October 22, 2009]
JesusChristMD Member	posted October 23, 2009 12:34 PM I can't even boot in any mode. On the Windows loading screen it blue screens to the restart. We are pretty sure it's a hardware issue atm after talking with one of the computer guys who works for my dad. so my friends bringing over some parts so we can test them out. __________________ Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore" [Edited 1 times, lastly by JesusChristMD on October 23, 2009]
Bentiko Member	posted October 30, 2009 09:45 AM For the first time, I'm considering installing Window program in my Macbook so that I can play MTGO on my Macbook. The question is, I'm just wondering how good the performance will Window 7 will work on my Macbook. What about MTGO itself in the Window via Macbook? I Google and look everywhere! Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks Bentiko __________________ -Hey! Look!

Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks Bentiko If all you want to do is play MTGO, I'd recommend Windows XP. All Windows 7 will do is eat up more processing power for features you don't need.

Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks Bentiko Thats really weird... cause according to all those commercials on TV mac are so far superior to PC's ( just like a rock is superior to gun lol ) anywho there is a program that can run on a mac that will simulate a window's OS, and I think it only works with XP. Mac I believe (educated guess) do not have the hardware in them to run Vista or Win 7, I have a giant paper weight I call the imac G4 sitting on a book shelf next to me and the thing's hardware specs don't meet the requirements to even run XP.... also can you plz tell me why Norton makes their antivirus program compatible with Mac's.... I only ask seeing how macs can't get viruses. [Edited 1 times, lastly by VxMurDokxV on November 02, 2009]
Volcanon Member	posted November 05, 2009 10:03 PM If I install 4 gigs but my system maxes at 3, will there be any detrimental effect? (mid 2007 MacBook) I want to do so cuz - matched ram is apparently good - 2x2gig is cheaper than one 1gig and one 2gig
