After 15 minutes horizantal black lines appear on
Welcome to Fixya.
Few of the top reasons for causing these "lines" running across the screen are :
- Corrupted video driver
- Changes in hardware configuration (display)
- Monitor issue (hardware)
In order to determine
if it's hardware/software issue, all you need to do is to boot to BIOS
and check if the problem replicates. Depending on system, you can go to
the BIOS screen by tapping "F2" or "DEL" key repeatedly as soon as you
turn on the computer until you see a different screen.
If the
problem is present while in BIOS, then definitely the monitor needs to
be repaired by an authorized repair center. Otherwise, video driver
update or Operating system re-install can resolve this problem.

My system was so slow.I did all the clean ups
Did you try defragmentation? If no then do it. You need to defrag your system every 1month atleast and before deleting all your programs did you check your task manager which processes are eating your Ram and making it slow? Check and end those process, Start up programs also slow down your system. Disable some of the start up programs which are not needed while starting up your system. For this open ccleaner and in tools open start up and disable some programs. Advanced SystemCare software and ccleaner are much more enough to take the clutter and tune your system.
Hope these tips help you.

Let the ink settle in the cartridge for awhile. Make sure no ink is on the outside of the cartridge which adversely effects the signal to the printer.
Ack graphics card wont fit in any input slots
the adapter u are using is pci express and the dell dimension 9100 are not compatible.. try returning it for either a pci (usually the white slot) or AGP which in most cases is brown.. the AGP will be your best performance.. if return is not an option.. then it seems that a new pc is in your best interest.
On my DELL Deminsion E110 the video downloads are sporadic and jerky, but audio is good
Audio is easy...requires little ram to operate. Video today needs 2 GIGABITS or more for VIDEO. A lot depends in the Motherboard Processor also. If it is old, the main processor is no doubt slow. High speed internet is faster than some computer speeds and thus the computer is trying to buffer (catch up) which causes means conditions to occur. Lag time with Video is one problem.
Windows operating system is another. Win 8-10 are ok, but older OS's are slow. THEN we have a Video Card problem. Old cards require new drivers to keep up with changes. Some old Video is slow because the VIDEO RAM is too slow and old. Solution = a New 2018 Computer

When editing the BIOS if you go into the BOOT ORDER menu, it is possible that the network card is not showing as an option. In order to get this option to display, go into the "integrated devices (legacyselect options)" and then select the network interface controller. Edit that even if it is On and change it to On w/PXE. After saving the changes to the BIOS, you need to power the computer off then on and then go into BIOS again, and the "integrated NIC" option should be available in the BOOT ORDER menu. Set this to be the first boot device in order to use PXE.
