RETIRED: Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

228 92 October 16, 2010 at 01:35 PM
Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

before I moved from CA I had bought a new NVidia Card for it because my toontown game was acting up is that the card you are talking about?

does your card have it's own fan
look on the underside of it

sometimes the card can be loose and not plugged in all the way
with the pc off push on it make sure it's in good

It's easy to identify it. It's the port that you hook the monitor to. If you still have it open it should be easy to see. Many of the newer cards have fans on them 'cause they overheat easy. Hope it's something that simple. Good luck. woot

The spot where you plug the monitor in is your video card. Find the plug, and you've found the card. Look to see if it has a fan on it, and if it's all bunged up with dust. If the card got to overheated it may have fried. I hope not, but that would be a nice easy fix for ya. Smilie

Gotta fly. Good luck Jules. You're probably in better hands with Gary. I know enough about computers to be dangerous to their health. LMAO

Hey Jak and Jem remember how my battery kept running out real fast on the netbook. So I unplugged it a little while ago and timed it this is what happened. Unplugged at 6:42 80%, at 6:48 down to 77% and said have 2 hours 18 minutes, at 7:19 just told me 8% with 2 hrs 9 minutes, then at 7:20 said 7% and plug it in. So the dang battery is bad. Anyone know if this would be under the warranty? I'm having real flippin luck right now with the computers LOL
No Jules, It won't be!! Batterys go bad, Just like I said before, Its just like any other battery, they wear out over time!
