PC only boots after on/off/on cycle ? by
Skybuck Flying[_2_]
Today was another weird day electronics wise.
I had to pull out all cables.
The monitor did not want to turn off.
The old PC also didn't boot.
It does this each time but this time it was worse.

Hardware damaged again. by
Skybuck Flying[_2_]
Hello,
It seems the hardware of my pc is damaged again.
Probably the motherboard.
Sometimes the system crashes during a game.
I cleaned the pc hoping that it would solve the problem but nope.

Power supply fried, replaced it, computer won't start by
.
Yesterday morning, ten hours after I'd last powered my PC down, I turned
it on and noticed immediately a burning "electrical fire" smell.
Turned the computer off (using Windows shutdown first from the login
screen), disconnected all peripherals and the power, opened the case.
Attached the...

Rebooted and my computer won't boot up. by
Ant
Hello!
Earlier today, I was doing stuff in Debian like upgrading my Kernel
(2.6.18 with an updated package) and rebooted. The computer never
rebooted and it just got stuck (I think after shutdown -r now told it to
reboot -- shutdown seems to have completed).
Hitting the reset button didn't do...

Dead computer? by
Patty
Computer in question had a problem when it last ran... Computer froze and
the only way they could shut it down was to unplug it. When they tried to
power it up again, nothing would happen. They took it to the person who
built it who proclaims, it's fried. She got it back from him (minus...

ZipZoomFly and DOA Hitachi SATA drives by
Albert Silverman
A month ago, I ordered two 250GB SATA drives from ZipZoomFly.com. They
both arrived DOA with scratches around the case screws. One was dented
on the lid. I reported all this in my RMA request. After some delay, I
was granted a RMA number, and sent them back. That was over two weeks
ago.
They've...

Suggestions for Core 2 Duo systems that use PCI - not PCI express? by
muzician21
Right now I'm running a 2.4 gig P4 on a Soyo Dragon mobo. I could
upgrade to a socket 478 3.4gig processor and get about a 30% bump in
speed which wouldn't be bad, but it's my understanding going to a Core
2 Duo chip I could see a much bigger increase.
I dont need to be on the cutting edge, what...

Cool electronics with outside air via hose. by
Skybuck Flying[_2_]
Could be interesting idea... to connect the computer to the outside air via
hose/tunnels.
Except maybe in summer ;)
But in winter it would supply the pc with cold outside air instead of room
temperature ;)
Bye,
Skybuck.

What's your best guess? by
Larc[_4_]
My PC won't start! I was checking the RAM with Memtest 86+ (v.1.70)
while I watched TV. When I looked back at the computer at some point,
the monitor had gone into sleep mode. Nothing would wake it. I
noticed there was no HDD action. When I tried to reboot using the
restart button, nothing...

Oh, the BLOAT! New PCs are so slow! by
yep
I haven't bought a ready-made computer in years. I either build them new or
rebuild old ones. I put Win98SE or WinXP on them, Word, Nero, PSP, Power
DVD, AVG, etc. They always run nice and zippy.
Well, I finally got a factory fresh Dell Inspiron, Celeron 2.3GHz with
256MBs. WHAT A DOG!!!...

A friend of mine bought his computer over for me to have a look at it. I
need to do a reinstall, but it's a Hewlett Packard with windows installed on

Where did 1280x1024 come from? by
Mxsmanic
Why is 1280x1024 so often included among other resolutions as an
option for hardware and software monitor configuration? Almost all
monitors have a 4:3 aspect ratio, and all selectable resolutions have
the same ratio ... except 1280x1024. Why this exception to the rule?
There must be some sort of...

Machine has suddenly slowed to a crawl by
[email protected]
I'm running XP Pro SP2. I have Spybot S&D v1.4, Spyware Blaster v1.3,
and McAfee VirusScan v10, all up to date. I have defragged my hard
disk and run Chkdsk within the last week.
Yesterday, all of a sudden, my machine slowed to a crawl, to the
extent that when I'm typing, the screen can't update...
