frozenfun asked:

Yesterday afternoon I walked into my home office and smelled what I thought was a very strong odor of a marker that had been left uncapped. After much investigation nothing was found. I turned off my computer and monitor and the smell is gone. Which unit is most likely the cause of the smell? What the heck is the smell? Is my computer/monitor going to flame out? Help!!

Thanks.

I have my Xbox 360 and Desktop right next to one another. The Xbox is not hooked up to a T.V., but another computer monitor, but the desktop and Xbox are hooked up via ethernet cable. Is there any way I can plug in an HD camcorder anywhere or use a computer program to screen capture the Xbox monitor?

Ghost asked:


When I shut the PC off, the computer monitors light turns from green to orange – I’m guessing that’s some kind of standby mode.

So is it okay to leave it turned on? How about the computer’s speakers? Do I have to turn them off when the computer is not turned on? Will something happen if I leave them turned on?

How do I get TV on my computer monitor?

Jason A asked:

How do I get TV on my computer monitor?

My graphics card specs say it has “TV Out” and it has an S-Video input (my graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro / 512MB DDR2 / PCI Express).

But how do I get my cable outlet (i.e. the thing coming out of my wall that normally gets twisted into the back of a TV for cable) into my graphics card/computer/monitor as none of these have an input for this type of cable (I think it is called a coxial cable – basically the standard TV cable wire).

Thanks for any help.

Why does my computer speakers get static when i turn on my monitor?

Hero asked:

I tried a different set of speakers and the static is still there. It’s only there when my computer monitor is on though. I tried full resetting, looking into my cpu is there were any unusual stuff to see but nothing. This issue is annoying because when i try to talk with people with a mic this static is heard on the outbound of my voice. Otherwise I wouldn’t be complaining about it at all.

G asked:


I just added a second computer monitor to my computer. I did it by adding a second video card. The one i currently had wouldnt support a second one and my computer is 5 years old (but is still pretty powerful) so the newer video cards were to adcanced. but i have been succesful in installing a second monitor. however when i now use programs like photoshop or 3d max (expspecially if i have them open together) my whole system seems to slow down. im sure the new video card is taking up some extra power or something. but my question is how can i fix this problem (without buying another video card)? could i add power or memory or whatever is needed to speed everything up again.

I would like a new computer monitor, but my girlfriend says no until our current one breaks. Our current one is an lcd but it is giving out and is a cheap brand. If you have any ideas, they would be appreciated. thanks
