  Many problems with Windows, Windows cannot communicate with the device or resource (primary DNS server), Internet Explorer browser does not.

  Hi Rachel,

  I understand that when you try to connect to the Internet, you get error "Windows cannot communicate with the device or resource (primary DNS server)", what other issues you are faced with Windows?

  • Using a cable or a wireless Internet connection?

  DNS (Domain Name System) translates the URL in IP (Internet Protocol) addresses (and vice versa). For example, if you type http://www.microsoft.com into the address bar in your web browser, your computer sends a request to a DNS server. The DNS server translates the URL to an IP address so that your computer can find the Microsoft web server.

• Qosmio F50 - 10 k: cannot read any games - black screen

  Hello

  So, I'm having with my laptop since the beginning.

  * Laptop is: *.
  Qosmio F50 - 10 k, 4 GB ram, geforce 9600 m gt 512 MB and I changed my windows vista ultimate to Windows XP Home edition sp3.

  First, I changed the windows because I thought it can help (Vista can overload my pc, but the change to xp not really helped except that it's faster now).

  * My problem is: *.
  Computer is under normal execution, I can check Web sites, watch movies, youtube or use office programs, but I can't play * ANY game.
  When I turn the game can

  + System: Recommended requirements.
  + CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz or equivalent +.
  RAM: 512 MB RAM +.
  + Graphics card: GeForce FX 5600 or equivalent +.
  + DirectX: 9.0 c +.

  My laptop turns * black screen *.
  I listen to the music of the game, and my radiators are starting work dramaticlly.
  It's like 10 seconds after I opened the game. I have to remove the battery and reset it.

  Temperature at which I am writing this post is 60 ° C, as always when I do _completly nothing_.

  Can I have your help guys? Thank you.

  Hello

  The Windows XP drivers are not available for the Qosmio F50.
  I found only the drivers for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit OS.

  Your problem could be related to the Win XP drivers that are not certified by Toshiba
  The point is that this drivers don t support an overheating protection as do Toshiba drivers
  So maybe this is the reason why the GPU temperature increases to 60 C.
  But to be honest, the 60 ° C is not too high and each party will create more heat dissipation when running certain games or applications high performance

• try to install Medal of Honor Airborne on 32-bit vista, and problems with the windows firewall starts do not.

  OK, im losing my mind.

  I bought a copy of airborne for my 32 bit vista system and found initially that I had to do a few tricks to install and play it like UN-installing ageia phys-x, it was simple enough. Well I have had since stopped playing it and would try to uninstall without result. I tried to fix it and using "C-cleaner.

  Well, I'm trying now to re - install MOHA and when I put the disc and click autorun the pre-start games window appears with the usual options, play, upgrade, site Web etc... I hit play, it does nothing. I tried to uninstall it from the disk and to halfway through she said "MOHA has not stopped the Installation Wizard prematurely try again later". I can't repair or uninstall or install. I read somewhere that it is a firewall with windows problem and if I run my firewall victory "which I have never on", this should work if the software is added to the 'green' list on the firewall.

  now I find that I can not get my firewall to start. I researched and found a few forums where people explained to the services command prompt and tried to 'start' several 'order' in there and firewall programs will not start giving me this error-windows cannot start service windows firewall. and the code of error-6801.

• Y410P cannot start all games

  So, recently, that I had to do a full format of my computer, in the end, then reinstall the programs that I use in general, I was unable to open any games.
  Specifically, I could only start before open with blackscreens and crashed to desktop with no error message.

  I tried to reinstall Directx, .net Framework, graphics drivers. But nothing has worked.

  I agree that it's pretty weird, couple of things I can suggest-

  (1) upgrade to 8.1 windows

  (2) reset the GPU.

  a. in the control panel > Device Manager > display, go to the NVIDIA GPU.

  b. right-click and select uninstall

  c. go to control panel > programs and features and uninstall everything related to NVIDIA

  d. restart and allow drivers to install automatically

  e. try to play a game.

  f. If it does not, then update the drivers for your NVIDIA graphics manually from the NVIDIA Web site card, choose the correct operating system.

  (3) uninstall and install steam again.

  (4) do, the system resets again.

  I don't think that it is still a hardware failure. Try these steps, one of them should work.

  Hi cmisiak,

  ·        Is the issue with the Lego games?

• GeForce GT 240 m, problem with DirectX

  My specs:
  ASUS N51Vn-A1
  Windows 7 64 bit
  Core 2 Duo t9600 2.8 GHz
  4 GB DDR2 800 MHz RAM - memtest86 + past all
  GeForce GT 240 m 1 GB DDR3 CUDA

  I can send it to ASUS, but not because of spring break I'm at school and really need my laptop.

  The problem I have is when running the games, I will get artifacts after a random time (can be anywhere between 10 seconds to 2 hours). Then, if I keep going the artifacts will get worse and worse, until the gel (it is NOT a system graphics/game freeze freeze. Music guard play and other things). I can Ctrl + Alt + Delete, then click Cancel. This will reduce, then reload the game and it works for a few seconds and freezes again. Then finally if I continue to run the game it bluescreens pointing to nvddmkm.sys.

  I checked the ram with OCCT. I ran the "GPU: MEMTEST ' and it fails the test 2-5, but switches to 1 and 6. I copied the failures in a txt If you want me to post that. In test 2, the screen goes black and Windows reports that nvddmkm has stopped working and recovered.

  Now for the weird part. I downloaded and installed VMT (another video ram test program). It has 3 options for tests, CUDA, DirectX and OpenGL. I ran the test Direct X, and it is not about all the tests. Then, when I ran in OpenGL mode it passed all tests. He passed again when I put it in CUDA mode. This makes no sense. His essay the same RAM, but fails depending on the software used. This is why I'm not sure whether material. I tried upgrading Direct X and even to reinstall Win 7. Do not know what could cause this do.

  Once again this problem ONLY occurs when you run the game using a ton of memory. Like COD4, Crysis, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, ect. I ran a few tests of stress several GPU and the map was stable. I've run furmark (and OpenGL program) for 2 hours. My temp peaked at 89 C. I also ran OCCT (pretty sure this stress test is OpenGL too but not sure) for 1 hour and remained stable. In my DxDiag it says also I 2777-MB total video memory, when the card has only 1 GB. This makes me think that it is sharing ram which could be the source of the problem. It would make more sense on why it is in DX anyway.

  So my question is:
  Is it possible to determine that it is in fact a hardware problem and not a software problem? Also is it possible that I can fix it temporarily until released when I can sent my laptop to fixed it? As disable a section of ram that has problems? Or a way to erase the memory of corruption. Also is there a way to prevent sharing ram Direct X?

  Thanks to all who help!

  Hello. I thought about it. It was not DirectX. I found that it is bad VRAM. I had to underclock the VRAM to make stable games. The clock speeds stock for the video card on my laptop are 550 core and 790 mem. I ran it to the kernel 520 and 700 mem. This seemed to resolve the issue. I will RMA as soon as slacking off.

• URGENT! problem with the bios to start the computer

  Hello

  I have a lenovo s12 notebook and I have the problem with the password of the bios. the bios was previously password protected and I wanted to get rid of it, so I opened the bios went in password management and tried to 'turn off' but apparently the system would not accept that option, while i went to the password field, then put the old password, and then I gave him 2 "drafts" enter enter since I assumed he wouldn't ask Word of past again... on windows it works like that, you put a blank password twice, and then it will not ask password again.

  now it's happened, it's that the system always ask the password on the bios, I can not enter setup again because the old password does not work after installing brief loading, it accepts either a blank password, I tried the generic password for phoenix bios which seems to be "phoenix"...

  should I don't have to go the hard way, open the computer and remove the cmos battery? Since it is possible to find it of course, since it is a laptop? does anyone know any other bios password "generic"? or I have seen that if you can build an external device then you can connect to the mobo and read the stored password on the mobo, but it starts to become a little too testy, I don't want to build and solder.

  Anyway any help greatly appreciated please reply to my email xxxxxxxxx

  Thank you very much

  Hi an welcome to Lenovo forum... Sorry... Here, there is a page for password lost or forgotten help Lenovo.
