What is this game called? This game can be played by 4 or 6 people.
with 6 people you take out all 2.
10 points are associated with each of the face cards(A,K,Q,J and 10) , and 3 of Spades has 30 points associated with it making it a trump card. And 5 has 5 points. Everything else has no value.

Players wage their scores depending on how good their cards are (maximum is 250), and player with the highest wager ask for a partner with a specific card and creates sir(pick a color of cards which has higher value to take hands). Partner then assists the player reach the target points, either open…

@Sammy Actually I have HP dv4 1133tx

@Sammy Oh! Thanks! I didn't knew that.

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 20:04

@Sammy Thanks for the info!

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:58

@Psycogeek Okay. I got it. Thanks for helping!

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:56

@Psycogeek Okay. Actually I don't want full HD res. I just want a minimum resolution of 1280x800. But I guess if I am buying a new monitor, I might try for HD.

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:53

@Sammy Intel.

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:51

@Psycogeek So I must get a monitor with lesser resolution? I mean it depends entirely on my GPU. If my GPU supports full 1920x1080 I can get a full HD monitor.

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:48

@Psycogeek How to find if a monitor is 1-1 pixels native with HDMI?

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:47

@Sammy Okay. So I can easily get my current resolution of 1280x800 on any external monitor without any problem if connected via HDMI?

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:45

@Psycogeek Okay. One more thing I want to know is that is it possible to connect HD monitor? My screen resolution is 1280x800

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:42

@Boris_yo Not sure!

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:40

@Psycogeek So if I want to connect an external monitor, I must connect it digitally via HDMI. Is there any other way to connect digitally?

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:38

@Sammy Okay. So how the laptop's display is connected? Is it digital?

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:37

VGA provides digital output. Isn't it?

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:35

@Sammy No. I don't have any overheating problem.

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:33

@Psycogeek Yes! I do have an HDMI port and a VGA (Dsub 15-pin) port.

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:32

@Psycogeek Do you mean HDMI?

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:31

@Psycogeek Yes.

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:31

@Psycogeek The resolution of external monitor I use was low around 1048x800. It was an old CRT monitor. Connected using the VGA cable that came with monitor.

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:29

@Psycogeek No there is no overheating problem. Its just the display. My GPU and RAM works perfectly fine.

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:27

@Sammy Yes the line is 1280 px wide. The line is not annoying but the flickering screen is! Also if the flickering increases or multiple lines show up I will have to do something. So I am planning to remove the screen i.e. only the display panel from the lid. If I can remove the whole thing from hinges it would be great. I think getting a replacement would be very hard and expensive! And my laptop stays on my desk all the time so there is no question of transportation!

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:24

@Psycogeek External monitor has no problem. Its just the internal screen.

Ashutosh Dave

Sep 22, 2013 19:23

@Sammy No but I tried with an old external monitor of my desktop.

I have a four and a half year old HP Pavillion dv4 laptop. Today, I saw a thin 1px red horizontal line on the near top of my laptop screen. The line sometime changes to light blue. I tried connecting an external monitor and found that the problem is with the hardware. After a while display started to flicker a bit.
The graphics works fine and drivers are updated too. I know that this is a problem with the display(hardware).

I am thinking of getting rid of the display as I don't think that taking my laptop to HP support would be of any help. So is it possible to connect an external display …

Ashutosh Dave

Feb 15, 2012 06:58

@Sathya but after 2 hours it stays around 61c and hdd temperature around 55c....is it dangerous??

Ashutosh Dave

Feb 15, 2012 06:57
