Saturday, I got a blue screen with a PFN_List_Corrupt error message, powered down the computer (to restart) and when I did, it revved up like a jet engine. I'm sure it would have (literally) blown up if I hadn't reached the electrical plug in time! Smoke was coming out of the back of the...

I've been buying Factory Outlet Dells for a while. I notice I have much better luck with scratch'n'dent laptops than refurbished ones (though they eventually get fixed owing to keeping sending them back until it happens, but it's a hassle.). Refurbished ones tend to have the original problem,...

Is there some such concept as "residual electricity"??? There was a problem with a computer at work...it's a new Dell running WinXP Pro...everything's fine, I go to lunch and come back to a blank screen that won't wake up from power-save/sleep mode!! I do the obvious and check connections, making...

In Ed Foster's GripeLine column, he quotes a letter from one of his readers: "Two years ago, one frequent complaint about open source software was that there's no customer support. However, two years ago, I realized I was getting no customer support from Microsoft either. My choices: (a)...

I don't know if I was clear in a previous post, but I want a clean reformat and reinstall on a Dell Dimension 3000. I haven't bought a Dell in years and this is a friend's unit. I'm just getting into their method of loading an XP OS, and as I stated before, I can't boot from the system created...

Hi, Since the day I started my online business, I always being told that the money is on the list. However, sometimes it wasn’t easy to capture even a single lead into your list, right? That’s why I always dreamed of a tool that could help me generate leads faster and easier -- with less...

With repost of my negative experience with Dell at bottom, I'll also copy and comment on some interesting and constructive comments from folks in these newsgroups: - Basic warranties last only as long as manufacturers expect machines to last. Perhaps so, but having both the motherboard and screen...

Ok, it's Christmas time again! This time last year I was looking for a new desktop and chose a Dell. This year we are after a laptop for Christmas. So, lets say my budget for a laptop is around $600.00 What can I get? What do you recommend? What brand? Dell, Compaq, Toshiba, etc...? ...

(XP SP1 / Dim 8300 / 3.0 GHz / 800 MHz FSB / 512 meg / bla bla...) I seem to be getting a virus here and there found by NAV2003 that makes its way in through the auto-protect. In this case I got a couple of circa 2003 Trojan.ByteVerifies. Don't know how the heck such a simple file can land on my...

Recently Dell Support Assist was installed on my system - and it runs all the time. Anyone else have this and know what it is for and can it be safely uninstalled. It seems to be maybe sending some info to Dell. I'm running Win7 64bit and I went to Services.msc and disabled it, but when...

....in a consumer environment. The GUI is great, but unfortunately it doesn't like producing a copied, bootable drive. It's just me, isn't it. Funny. DriveWizard works like a stinkin' charm....... That is all.

I had to give myself a basic education on alternating current, output waveforms and active PFC power supplies just to be able to ask this question. It all started because I heard that new Dell PCs need a new kind of UPS (uninterruptible power supply.) It's a fact: To comply with regulations,...

On startup, a Dell Zino HD model 410 complains that the video fan is dead. I downloaded the service manual, but no where in there do I see a schematic of a video fan or instructions on how to replace this. I see a system fan only. Where is the video fan located? -- W

G'day mates, I'm looking for a simple recipe to ensure success when trying to install a second HDD on a Dell Dimension 4100 under Windows ME (or even just mention of "gotchas" to avoid would be helpful :). Current 20GB drive is partitioned C, D, E, F using PM 6.0 I want to install a 2nd HDD (WD...

I have a Dell E510 that has been running Windows 7 Ultimate fine for a while. I put it on the shelf in October 2015, and brought it back out last night. I forgot the password, so I used the Dell supplied OS disk, went into repair, and used the sethc.exe method to reset the...

My friend just bought a Dell Dimension 2400 with the 2.4GHz Celeron Processor. Turned it on and it seemed a bit sluggish. We unistalled all the McAfee stuff that came with it. Uninstalled the AOL 9.0 optimized that Dell had put on and reinstalled with a copy AOL had sent. Then installed Norton...
