Try messing around in the monitor's sleep mode settings, and make sure everything is configured correctly. Same with your computer that is hooked up, you may have to manually change the sleep mode settings now that you have a new graphics card. Best advice I can give you without further...

Hey man, what's up?! Glad to have you on board. I just landed a job as a Computer Technician a few weeks ago, and I'll be starting Monday. What I was curious about was, what requirements did they have for you when you applied to be a computer support tech, and if you wouldn't mind discussing...

Haha, I sure did! Not to get off topic, but I'm not sure if you have seen my posts about getting into an entry level position.. but I actually landed a job as a Computer Technician at a small electronic repair store in my town! Awesome right?!

Hey Carnage, thanks for the reply! You're always so helpful on these forums. They're blessed to have you. I ran chkdsk, startup repair, and attempted sysrestore over 3 times with no avail. Finally, my last option was to backup the data and recover the factory settings, which is what...

A friend of mine's HP Mini is not booting up, and only showing a black screen w/ the cursor. I have tried looking for problems, and windows found none. Also, I have tried running a system restore 3 DIFFERENT TIMES, and each time an hour or so passes and it just says "restoring files", I have...

Well in that case I'm all set! :) I have AMAZING customer service skills, thats one of the prime things that I put on my resume's and bios. I've always been very warm-hearted and able to make connections with people since I was a young child - and it's stuck with me ever since. I actually get...

Oh really? Yes sir, I will keep that in mind. I didn't know that. I really enjoy the networking/troubleshooting side of IT. I like the hands-on stuff the most. Is there any tips you have that I should know? I have about two years to get as much experience as I can, and to grab as many certs as I...

I'm glad that you think it's possible, Lex. I'm really set on working hard and naturally I was blessed with a great outgoing personality and a hard working heart. I really believe I have a shot at this. As of now I'm 18. I began volunteering at this computer refurb place in Houston caked Comp U...

Wow, Ok man! Thank you so much. That is exactly what I needed. God bless. :)

Hey guys, just a few more questions. So, I really want to take the A+ exam so that I can land a better paying entry-level job that pays more. IE: Desktop Support. The thing is, there is so much to study! I'm sure very many of you have taken this test, would you be able to tell me what the...

Honestly, absolutely not. I think it is a very cool, and very clever idea. I'm cautious to see how it works.. I think that technology is getting a little bit too integrated into our personal lives, to be quite honest. What happens if this thing malfunctions? What are the long-term effects...

Hey man, what's up? I'm in a similar position, only younger. But I have basically the same plan. Do you have a degree of any sort? From what I've researched, it may be difficult to land an entry-level job w/o any experience, and only an A+ cert. But not impossible! It may help that you have...

Oh, a college degree and experience, very nice! Don't find that often. WIth the right certs, you have very much opportunity. For entry level positions you're looking at Information Security Analyst, IT Security Specialist, and others. You could probably find more just by giving it a Google...

No kidding! Hahaha. Well, that's really awesome man. And I'm super happy for you. Good luck with everything!

Wow! What an incredible story! That's really awesome man! Congratulations, I bet you are quite a successful individual! Is your business anywhere in the Houston area? Have you ever thought about going global? Also, what are some strategies that you used to up sales, if you don't mind sharing...
