It could be the PSU. I once had a bad PSU that would give a black screen on a cold boot--no POST, just fans humming. The system had to be left on for a minutes, followed by a reboot to get it to POST. That system had a CX430, HD5450, one hard disk, and a core 2 duo, so the power it needed was not cr...

The Windows 8 start menu is terrible with a mouse, but it is actually fine with a keyboard.

Hi, I recently bought an 8800 GT, but the only widescreen resolution it can display with my 206BW is the native one. Is there someway to display lower 16:10 resolutions? Since my previous ATI card could display both 1280x800 and 1440x900 (and even 16:9 resolutions such as 1280x720), I would like my ...
