I have an AMD Phenom X2 965 CPU and would like to change the noisy as hell CPU cooler. So, the main issue is the noise. I would like the cooler to be also compatible with actual intel sockets as I may upgrade my computer in the near futur. I was looking maybe for a CM Hyper 212 Evo, or TX3 Evo. Are those any better than 1150 stock CPU cooler? Thank you! | ||

To clean the switches out, you could try "electrical contact cleaner" sold in an aerosol can for $5 or so. It's mostly some type of alcohol. The spray can comes with a thin straw that you can use to try to direct it into a pressed down switch. This type of cleaning product will have a bit of grease added. The grease will be left after the alcohol evaporates, so you don't want to spray a lot. I only ever tried this on individual switches, never on something like 1/4 of the keys. | ||

Here's the explanation: http://postimg.org/image/9hd7hfkg7/ Anyone knows how to work this up? Do you really need X to show up every time? I can't think of any Excel functionality that can't just work with one X column and multiple Y columns, nor any CSV export/import format into any other computing environment Otherwise, you're looking for the transpose function to switch rows and columns | ||

I had a x32 Windows 7 system working well, but I bought some upgrades and decided to reinstall the system on the x64 bit Windows 7. During the install I choose custom install and I was given a choice of 2 different partition to install windows on. 1st had 100 MB? and said system 2nd had 970ish GB? and said primary. I chose the 2nd and now the reinstalled windows has many problems like network drivers missing and resolution being messed up. (this is a custom built computer) | ||

Where would be a good place to find a network driver? (preferably for free) I assume that I can get my video card driver from the manufacturer's website. (Nvidia or something like that) Are there any other drivers that I may need? | ||

Now can't boot, seems to be an issue with nouveau. I get this bizarre screen with scrolling text (nouveau is one of the words on there) and a timer counting up. Added "nomodeset" to the grub line, got a pop-up and opted to boot with low graphics mode for one session. Then it just goes black. The black screen means there's something wrong with the graphics driver or X (that's the name of the thingy running the desktop). Even if the graphics are totally broken, you can access the command line in text mode. You can switch to a "virtual console" by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1, F2, F3, etc. Try Ctrl-Alt-F2. You'll see an empty screen in text mode and will be able to log into your user account. You'll get to a command line prompt. X is actually also running inside one of those virtual console thingies and to switch back to the graphical desktop you need to know its number. No idea about Ubuntu, but it might be Alt-F7 (just try Alt-F1, F2, F3, ..., also no need to press Ctrl when in text mode). You need to look up how to install the NVIDIA driver on the command line for Ubuntu. The Nouveau driver is the free driver and only good for 2D desktop graphics (work isn't finished for it to be good enough for 3D). I don't know why the nouveau driver doesn't want to work for you, but whatever issues it has with the GTX 550, I bet the driver built by NVIDIA themselves will just work. So what you will do is start the machine and wait until it is finished and you are at that black screen. Then you hit Ctrl-Alt-F2. The screen will switch resolution and the text mode login prompt should show up after a second or so. You then log in with your user name and password and will see the command line. You then type in the commands you googled about how to install the NVIDIA driver on Ubuntu. About what commands to use on Ubuntu, I found the following for installing the nvidia driver: jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia_current This one might also be interesting, will probably list some sort of selection about what drivers are available: jockey-text -l If you add "sudo " at the front of those commands, it will be run as the root account. I don't know if that's needed. After you are done or give up or whatever, hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart and see if the black screen is gone. | ||

Thank you, I will try this but I am not confident I will be able to do anything from the black screen. It's a very weird screen. When I get to the totally black screen I described, it actually shut off the display. I guess if all else fails I could install steam OS since I was gonna do that anyway...but maybe the graphics issue would remain. | ||
