i use an officially unlocked singtel set - firmware 2.2.1

i jailbroke it recently and installed MakeItMine and BiteSMS

i have been fooling around with MiM - i changed the name of carrier and banner several times. and now i have lost cellular connection.

if i reset the name of the carrier, i get the connection back after several minutes. and vice versa.

am i doing something wrong?

---------

now the connection is just wonky ... i get maxis on and off. i tried resetting the network but nothing worked.

most sony ericsson phones have service lights. even my previous phone -- k610i -- had it. but i just don't see any service light on the k810i.

it just doesn't have one or is there some way to switch it on?

thanks.

8800 gts 640mb keeps crashing

quarx — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 10:59:41 +0800

When my pc boots and the bios screen appears and then disappears, blue lines appear at the bottom for just a moment. The same happens just after the Windows logo appears -- there is a brief flash of red lines at the bottom.

On top of that most games crash -- Titan Quest, CnC, etc

This only happened after I started using 8800 gts. I didn't have problems when I used 7900.

i am using vista ultimate 32-bit, core 2 duo x6800, 2mb ram ...

Is this sign of bad video ram?

thanks!
