What should I get my alienware aurora r4 to run a nvidia gtx 690
Hi I bought an Alienware Aurora R4 year last May. Here is my card of gooseberry. Although I'm upgrading to 8 GB ram 16 GB.
I want to know if I can just buy and put in an Nvidia GTX 690 or if I need to update some things before hand, I'm pretty new on pc and do not understand all the terms then do the answers as simple as possible please. Also links to things I should buy would be great, I live in the United Kingdom
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1CPU Intel Core i7 3820 @ 3.60GHz 57 °C Sandy Bridge-E 32nm TechnologyRAM 8.00 GB DDR3 @ 800MHz (11-11-11-28)Motherboard Alienware 07JNH0 (CPU 1) 59 °CGraphics DELL U2410 (1920x1200@59Hz) DELL 2405FPW (1920x1200@59Hz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 TiHard Drives 932GB ATA ST31000524AS SCSI Disk Device (RAID) 932GB ATA ST31000524AS SCSI Disk Device (RAID)Optical Drives DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device PLDS DVD+-RW DH-24ABS SCSI CdRom DeviceAudio Creative X-Fi Audio Processor (WDM)
I can not find my powersupply sticker anywhere, I have even opened up case and looked inside so no idea what my power input is.
I really want to upgrade my graphics card so that I can play on 3 screens as well as have a higher FPs and play at ultra, although the 560 allows me to play in ultra in some games, it does however become super jumpy in Skyrim.
Thanks
Well assuming that your diet is 875Watts and your current GPU GTX 560 ti is using power connectors 2 x 6 pin. The 690 GTX requires however power connectors 2 x 8 pin.
All you have to do is to give the GTX 690 the right amount of power giving him connectors 2 x 8 pin.
Just make sure that you remove your current video adapter and install the GTX 690 in the same dwelling.
GTX 690
GTX 560 TI
the image above shows the power supply, (hidden by a side cover) all the extra cables are hidden there and should be easily accessible.
The image above shows a 2 connector pins for power in the green zone. When you take out GTX 560 Ti power connectors and place inside 690 GTX you need to add additional power connectors 2-pin.
PS, you might be able to find 8 connectors there though.
Good luck

Aurora R4, 8.1, NVIDIA GTX 690, UEFI, Secure Boot Windows
I have an Aurora R4 that came with a NVIDIA GTX 690. When Dell will release a video for the GTX 690 ROM update so that Secure Boot works under Windows 8 and Windows 8.1? ASUS, EVGA and several other vendors of this map published a videocard ROM updates already that allow this work.
It's been a year since it became a problem with Windows 8, and now Windows 8.1 he remarked with a watermark on the screen that says: "secure boot is not configured correctly.
The video card shows a subprovider from NVIDIA, but NVIDIA does not seem to make these updates available ROM, as it is to the card suppliers like Dell to do.
Today, Dell replaced my NVIDIA GTX-690, as well as my motherboard and memory under warranty (wouldn't boot after the home screen Alienware - F2, F12 did nothing).
Now I am finally able to activate Secure Boot, like the GTX-690, they sent has a compatible UEFI BIOS, whereas one that I got with my new Aurora-R4 does not.
For reference, the new NVIDIA GTX-690 has the video BIOS version: 80.04.1E.00.1F. And work with Secure Boot.

My laptop screen is blackened or shaded, but to work. Something is darkening up shortly after departure. What should I do?
The backlight that run on the screen is burned. This isn't something that you can fix because it involves disassembly of the computer and parts are not generally available. It's a hardware problem. You need to take your computer to a repair store to fix this problem. If the computer is in power saving mode, that there is no display at all, shines a flashlight on it would reveal a slightly glossy, empty, black screen.

Cannot get the password or re-establish the link. What should I do?
Cannot get the password or re-establish the link. What should I do? Reset email is never sent. This master password"... How do you define? I'm locked out of Thunderbird. Help
Maybe he's trying reset Pasword Thunderbird Master as I'm doing? I copy the code and paset in the console tools\error and press Evaluate. I wonder if I want to reset the Master PW and I say yes, then I get a saying that the Master PW has been reset. Maybe he's looking for an e-mail to tell him that the IPL has been rest to? But the problem is, nothing happens when the password has been reset, msg is sent. TB continues to request the password. I have not changed my PW and when I enter the good PW, TB does not recognize. And reset the PW Master does nothing but generate Pop up messages. It's very frustrating. The information in the help files are not accurate, or the code provided does not work although it generates messages indicating that the IPL has been reset.

I wanted to buy an app on the appstore. I have not bought anything since appstore before and I did not know that apple do not accept debit cards. I don't have the error at the time, and somehow the app has been downloaded. its been a few days and now whenever I try to download any application (free), it asks me to give correct credit card information. I don't have a credit card. What should I do now?
You have another card you can try (not all cards debit still work, but some don't), or iTunes gift cards available in your country to use as payment? If you owe money from iTunes (you receive a message "problem with a previous purchase?) which must be paid before you will be able to download anything else: pay a balance of the iTunes Store - Apple Support. If you do not have iTunes you can get if you can remove the card: change or delete your Apple ID - Apple Support payment information
A card having a chance to be accepted it must be registered with the same name and address (including the format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account and have been issued by a bank in the country where you are (and, therefore, the country that sits on your iTunes account).

I just switch to Firefox this morning, but I used it in the past. I set Yahoo as my homepage, and it opens fine when I start Firefox but if I type something in the search bar, such as Wal-Mart or ebay it will display the search results, but when I click on the page I want to open, I get something like "nclk (Image GIF 1 x 1 pixel)" on any of the Web pages I have to choose. If I put www.walmart.com in the address bar, it works fine. What should I do?
Using Kaspersky? This error is usually caused by a parameter in Kaspersky. In the Kaspersky Firewall section, under filter turn off the blocker of banner advertising (may be called anti-banner).

I have a Mac G5 10.3.9 system too old to accept the last Firefox update. Try and get the message "file corrupted". What should I do? My hotmail account will not work now!
This has happened
Each time Firefox opened
== A new upgrade notice appeared in the launch of my Hotmail.
Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever out of Firefox for Mac OS x 10.3.9 and earlier versions. Another Mac 10.3.9 / Firefox 2 user said the "mobile version" of Hotmail worked for him, but doesn't bother explaining more than that. (Can not help myself, because I haven't used Hotmail in over a decade.)
Or, try to use Safari to access your Hotmail account.

Today, only with Firefox open, I get a strong Mermaid CONSTANT (like Super Mario). I uninstalled then reinstalled... siren always there. I didn't Remove Favorites, what should I do? Is it possible to save my favorites until I kill them? Will be more important, killing personal settings and then reinstalling cure the mermaid?
This has happened
Each time Firefox opened
Is May 21, 2010, when I opened Firefox 3.6.3
You have the Cool Previews installed addon? Google has a Pacman game on their homepage today and I had to uninstall the addon and the siren noise stopped.

I can't Live Update my Max Total Security that I get the message "DB update failed download!» Max Support also did not help at all. Disappointing. What should do?
Do yourself a favor and remove the application. Mac do not need AV applications and at best, they will be not hard (but not good either) and at worst will corrupt your system / OSX's built in protection. Your concerns are malicious software that requires the cooperation of the user to install, not the virus.
For more information, please read this:
Ciao.

Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- I get error code 800F0825 when the computer attempts to install the update to vista KB938371. What should I do to fix this? messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
Backup of personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then do a format and clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or a network otherwise and before using a USB key that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:
