Hardware
Hello,
I have recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my notebook. The installation went smoothly without any errors. I have then noticed that 1GB of RAM vanished into thin air.
I have made some research and I have learn that this is a common issue on 64-bit as it needs more memory to run smoothly but there is nothing mentioned about 32-bit. Is there any way to recover my missing RAM ?
Here's a link to my laptop specs and a photo with my missing ram:

This Trednet router seems to give me hard times. I thought it would be easy to connect 2 computers (laptop + desktop) to the internet through this router but it seems I was dearly wrong. After I have configured the router everything went fine. I have also updated the firmware as I read that it might affect incoming traffic. Both computers got connected. I then started downloading. Here was the catch. Whenever the download speed passed 2.1 mb/s the connection dropped (no matter on which of the computers I was trying to download). I have tried this a few times and each and every time my download speed overpassed 2.1 mb/s the connection dropped. Do you guys have any suggestion to my problem ?

Hello,
I have an issue my Samsung Sync master 720N. At a random time, the screen turns black for a few seconds as if its settings were reset and then the brightness menu appears and auto adjusts itself.
It's very annoying as I can't enjoy a movie or play a game without having this problem. I have looked around and on some websites I've seen the fact that it is an issue from the manufacturer. I have given it some thought and I find it impossible for the simple reason that it worked so well for over 4 years. I took care of it and it never suffered any accident. Is it really the time for me to acquire a new monitor ?
I hope not .. What are your suggestions ?

Hello. I have a GENIUS audio system 5.1. I have inserted the jack into the PC. It has immediately hit up and smoke came out of the cable and since then the system hasn’t worked properly.
It stills up but the lights are not as powerful. Also the volume button has stopped working. Anyone have any idea if I can do anything except from buying another audio system?
Thank you .

Lately, when I find myself playing a more demanding game, my screen freezes while the sound still works perfectly. After a few seconds my screen flashes and everything gets back to normal on screen. I have taken a look at the notification that prompts me when this happens. I get this error message: “Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered”. I have surfed the internet and understood that it might be because of a motherboard circuit that heats up. However, I am not sure. My video card is Nvidia Geforce 8600 with the latest drivers installed, OS Windows 7 x64.

Here’s the problem:
This morning I fooled around in Windows and when I’ve rebooted my computer no service was available. (Remote Access Connection Manager) and thus I couldn’t connect to the internet. After a while I thought of reinstalling the windows.

Hi, I’m Jason. I found my laptop, HP Compaq 2210b, running Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 not detecting its Bluetooth device. I try to check the device manager, and found the Bluetooth device is enabled. I also could not connect my Bluetooth on my laptop to my Blackberry. My blackberry is fine, since I manage to transfer a file using Bluetooth to and Android device.
So, the question is, Do I suddenly touch or click something that makes my Bluetooth unavailable? Or is it broken? But why do I still found the Bluetooth device indicator on the Device Manager? I’m thinking of reinstall the driver, but I could not found the driver. Any suggestion would be great.

i am using a desktop pc which was bought 2 years ago. recently my DVD writer started going mad. it mysteriously comes out and stays. when i put a dvd and send it back in, it detects it and runs the dvd. but when nothing is in it, the tray comes out. i was wondering whether it could be a virus. but since it happens even before OS loads i came to a conclusions that its not a virus. so someone please tell me a solution for this problem.

I just newly bought from the computer shop an AGP video card and installed it on my computer.
Then turn on my computer and appeared on the monitor screen a garbage display.
I turned off my computer and detached the video card, then connect the monitor to the built in video card and turned on my computer.
And it was okay the display was good and running.
What’s causing garbage display, the video card is new?

I have a problem with my intel GMA 950. Whenever I try to run a certain application with higher requirements (especially games) this error pops up.
It prompts me that the hardware is not 3d compatible and that it lacks TNL or vertex shader.
I have found out about 3D analyzer but unfortunately it drastically reduces fps to the point of unplayability. Is there any other workaround except for using 3DA that will not affect my experience ?

No capable 3D hardware found on your system. This game requires Direct3D compatible hardware that supports either T&L or Vertex and Pixel shaders version 1.1 or higher.
