This burner, don't know what brand really, 48x16x48, suddenly stopped burning CDR's . Here's the log report. Any deciphering help would be appreciated. The process starts and then at 51% it tanks and starts spitting out errors. Log from Nero Express 5.5.10 Windows 2000 5.0 IA32 WinAspi: File...

Hi, I have a 500GB Seagate Barracuda that comes with a 5 year warrantee. I'm having problems where various files became corrupted and don't work. I've exchanged it once. Seagate Tools said it was slow. Maybe I'm doing something wrong under the assumption that SATA300 and SATA600 are compatible?...

I seriously need help as I'm completely clueless as to what's the problem... Problem: My friend wanted me to look at his computer as it looked like it had gone, which it was. Got new hard drive (Maxtor 40GB Fireball 3 5400RPM) and tried to install it. Turns out that the motherboard seemed to...

It has to be that these things are breeding. There used to be a joking theory that wire coat hangers were reproducing and trying to take over the world but it seems that computer cables are in the game now. Do you find that your stock of cables is expanding without your knowledge? I just looked...

This morning I had a power failure and I dont have a UPS. OS is Win98SE On reboot, I found that a bunch of files and folders had disappeared from my D drive (20Gb Maxtor) including my email message store, phones books etc. and 10Gb of stored photos. The drive seems to be working fine now, but...

Or did the movies all come on DVDs? The laptop is about 4 years old and came with W10 installed, which was changed to W8.1, for G3-dongle compatibility. It's got a HDMI socket, which the TV also has. So would the video show on the TV? And what about sound? What preliminary tests can I do with my...

For the computer knowledgable and savvy people. Looking to get a new system and the company will be paying for it ( or most of it) so im looking to put together an awesome system that could make me the king of my block for awhile..... .....so overkill is encouraged. :) My current computer cost...

1. Would an anti-glare filter of 20 inch such as 3M EF200XXLB Anti-Glare/Radiation Computer Filter, Black Frame http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Health/Safety/Products/Related/?PC_7_RJH9U52300A9E023IJD0GR3O74_nid=0GNNMZZJ6Rgs651JNCZ61CglNGM0L4CN7Qbl be fine for the Dell XPS one or...

I'm moving drives between my PC, my server and my spares. I'm hoping to hear a few opinions about what I'm trying to improve... What I want, from most important to least. - Increase the snappyness of my PC - Increase storage space on server - Add a Fedora Linux installation to my PC --- My...

Tonight I tried to print a grayscale portrait of my late uncle and aunt on some nice, glossy photo paper. After waiting a long time for the job to finish (the XP drivers for the HP 855C really suck badly), I was astonished when the paper came out exactly as it went in... BLANK! This was after...

I bought the pieces and setup a machine for a friend based on a Gigabyte GA 7VKML motherboard with the onboard Savage DDR video and AC 97 audio. He's had this for a number of months and has been running Windows XP on it with no problems. Last week he had the PC on while he was watching TV in...

I have a civil dispute with Psychologists in Brazil. A murder committed in Canada is unethical in Brazil - Very controversial. Windows 10 Mail would not permit me to send Mail to ethical potentates in Brazil. Thank goodness I still have Outlook Express on WinXP. Microsoft backdoor defeated.

I'm planning to add some memory to a PC. The motherboard supports "DDR up to 333 MHz (enhanced) memory bus." 333 MHz (PC2700) or slower DDR SDRAM isn't easy to find on today's market, and when you do find it, it's considerably more expensive than the DDR which runs at 400 MHz (PC3200). What...

I'm looking at two desktops. I can't tell if the SSD is the same on each configuration, because one says NVMe, while the other doesn't. Is it just sloppy description, or are both SSDs the same? 1) 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD +1TB SATA 7200 RPM HDD 2) 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive + 2TB...

One of the watchwords of computers used to be that they only do one thing at a time, and they just switch from one thing to another very quickly. However, now that cpu's have 2 or 4 cores or more, is that still true? Does my cpu with 4 cores do up to 4 things at the same time? Then, if it's...

Hi all, I am hoping very much that someone can shed some light on this mystery (to me anyway). This is the third time I have run into this situation. Someone has a system that they want upgraded; they also would like to keep all of their currently installed programs intact. I get a new...

I have an eMachine here with Windows XP SP3 that has a severe time problem. For instance, it lost 57 minutes in the time it took me to run defrag on it which was about an hour and a half. I just rebooted it and it lost 10 minutes. There doesn't seem to be any set pattern. I just rebooted it...

WINDOWS 7 Major USB Hardware Incompatibilities ? I'm trying out Win 7 64 Bit. on the same Hardware (but separate Hard Drive) as my established Win XP . A big issue for me & the main thing I'm testing is the ability to use my existing Hardware. The standard basic stuff....Hard Drives...DVD Drive...

I can't believe I can't find a WHITE IDE internal DVD burner anywhere! A year ago you could find them most anywhere. It hasn't been that long ago that they came with interchangeable face plates. Grrrr,,,,
