The screen goes black and the mouse turns off after 30 seconds…?

Posted on July 27, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

I have an old Dell computer.
The screen started going blank because there was no signal and my usb mouse turned off both after about 30 seconds.
Then I turned it off completely, and the computer won’t even turn back on. Then I unplugged it and plugged it back in. The computer then gets to the point I got it to the first time, and then I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get to the same point.
I tested the hard drive by unplugging it and used a linux live CD. The same problem occurred, so I’m sure it’s not the hard drive.
A computer technician told me that the problem is the video card.
If it is, I need a way to fix the card because it’s part of the motherboard. It’s not something that can be removed.
I know that a video card has ports for the monitor and other components attached to it, and those ports are attached directly to the motherboard.

Thanks For Your Help
I don’t use Windows on that computer. I use Fedora 10 (a Linux distro)
I can’t access anything on the computer that involves turning it on.
The video card, as I said before, is part of the motherboard.

Why Linux (Ubuntu) runs very slow in my system?

Posted on July 11, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I have a 512 RAM, penium 4, and 30 Gig Hard disk with windows xp installed. I wanna have two OS installed so I tried Ubuntu 7.10. I noticed that mouse (USB) is very slow when in live CD even if I did some adjustments in mouse but the problem persists. I also noticed that my PS/2 mouse is not detected and cannot be used. I’ve tried to used the older and newer versions of UBUNTU but the mouse runs very slow. I also tried installing Ubuntu in my system but nothing happens, still the mouse is very slow. USB flash drive is not detected. Pls help me

I cant move my mouse or type?

Posted on May 26, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

Recently, I when I was logged on, my mouse stopped working. Thinking nothing of it (I have a wireless keyboard/mouse), I unplugged the receiver, and tried to re-connect the keyboard/mouse. However, I still couldn’t move the mouse/keyboard. So I tried a corded keyboard/mouse (using PS2) and it still wouldn’t work. I’ve tried rebooting, and it still wont work (I’m using a different computer right now). However, I know that the keyboard/mouse/hardware isn’t defective because I was able to boot onto Ubuntu (Linux) via a live CD, and everything worked just fine (keyboard/mouse). Regardless, I still can’t get into Vista…I get stuck at the log-on screen (I’ve got a password, and safe mode doesn’t work). My only method of input is a media center remote (plugs into USB … but that only ‘types’ numbers (which do, however, appear). I’ve got absolutely no idea what to do.

I’m looking for a console-only Linux distrobution?

Posted on May 6, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

Does anyone know of a console-only Linux distribution that is not a Live-CD? I want to be able to control the machine without a mouse, only a keyboard. The machine will be dedicated to folding, so I don’t need any GUI.
I don’t want to fold on a PS3, as I can’t afford one. I just want a console-only distribution to replace Damn Small Linux on my folding farm machines.
