I've often had trhe problem be dust caked on the fan itself, with the sink being relatively clean. Of ocurse, I own a great many books, so my dust levels are probably above average.

I usually shut down the computer and q-tip the fans if they're that bad.

Hello,

I have a slight dilemma with accessing my SVN from school. I have established that they seem to have blocked the ssh and telnet ports, however it would be nice to work on my projects and break and lunch as we have access to computers then rather than placing it on a USB.

Any ideas?

On my new computer I am unable to get the sound to work. My current setup is a DVI to VGA cord for the video.  For audio I have some 3.5mm cable to the red/white cable adapter.  I installed the audio drivers but that still doesn't work.   My graphics card has a mini HDMI port.   Would a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable carry sound and video? 
EDIT:  I've been able to get the sound working on my earphones.   Still can't get sound anywhere else.   Also, I am using a TV for both my audio and my video, so that might possibly be part of the problem.

Your computer is probably set to use the HDMI (which will carry sound and video) as the default sound device. I'm not sure what OS you're running, but on Windows 7 you change this by going to the control panel, picking "sound," then right clicking on  "speakers" to "set as default device". Win8 is probably similar.

mini-hdmi to HDMI does carry over audio and if its in the back of a graphics card then by all means it will have audio.

I managed to hook up speakers that I "borrowed" from my dads computer, and that worked. The problem is probally with hooking it up to a TV.

i had the same issue like this days ago, your graphics card has to be able to see the hdmi device as a tv else it wont output audio.

Are you sure that you're putting the audio into the correct input on the TV? Those things are often horribly labeled.

The only thing I haven't tried is putting the white cords in the red slots and the red cords in the white slots.   I have four different sets that I can plug it into, so that was something  I spent a bit of time on.

What settings would I need to use to do that?

Are you sure that your 1/8th" to RCA works? Those can be a pain in the ass to deal with, and you're much better off just using HDMI.

No idea.   I'm planning on getting a mini-HDMI to HDMI cord tomorrow, and until then I'm using a set of regular speakers.

So when I change user to ZNC from skyrunner (who was the original admin on the Linux Ubuntu machine), the pretty green text and directory information all disappears. Does anyone know how to make it come back? :(
