Well, to be honest my wife only got one sense for computers, both hardware and software: She's the Bermud Triangle! If it's possible to mess up a computer she will do it!

Too bad. I use W7 64-bit as well. With 8 gig RAM at least I feel that I can use most of it... I didn't know that RMClock supported changing of fan speed, btw. I thought that was only for adjusting the clock speed. Another thing is that...

Thanks! This is when the computer is in a docking station, without anything 3D going on at all. And I don't think that this is the graphics card after all. I keep forgetting that this is a Fire GL, not an nVidia card. So the ACPI in...

Only the standards. I have even killed the "real time protection" bull that Norton tries to enforce, which wasn't easy in itself. Still that shouldn't really matter as long as the temperature is low and the CPU usage also low,...

I have my fans running far too much. My work on the computer is not demanding 90 % of the time, with maybe 2 % CPU usage. Still the fans run a lot. Speedfan doesn't even show the fan speed, even with the "Dell" option turned...

I can see the outline of the keys in the middle of the keyboard when I open the computer without the screen on in the correct light. So far I have been able to wipe it off with my Plexgear screen wipes (much better than...

Thanks! I always keep the power cable plugged in to the dockings, so it's not that. But all the "USB Root Hub" and "Generic USB Hub" had "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" ticked, so...

This happens when the computer has been used out of the docking and then either is put directly in or has been in sleep or hibernation in the meantime. I connect it, and the display ports work, and so does the LAN port (I think...). But...

I got the first one of the batch today, one for DisplayPort to VGA, and it works exactly as it should! I'm guessing the DVI to VGA will come some day next week and I hope I'm as lucky with those. Strange world when I get a good surprise...
