My computer's internal speaker doesn't work. by dos-man
This doesn't work at all. I can't even drop down into real-mode and beep the damn thing with a qbasic program. Does anybody know if this has anything to do with the sound card, or is the internal speaker on motherboard??

PC Continuously Reboots by [email protected]
When I boot up my PC, it reaches the part where it shows the Windows XP screen, and then it reboots again by itself! Basically, the PC is stuck in an infinite loop of reboots!! I am not much of an expert with PCs, but I have the feeling that this has something to do with some hardware component...

Grounding an ungrounded outlet by Skeleton Man
Hi all, I just discovered today that none of the outlets in my house are grounded. The house is literally 100 years old, and the wiring probably 50 years. At first I thought one outlet was screwy, so I tried a few more, and none of them grounded. How do I safely ground at least one or two outlets...

RAM problem / question by John D99
I have an Asus A8N-VM CSM mobo. It ran fine for 2 years, but with only 512 megs RAM things got a little crowded, so I decided to double the RAM. I bought a 512 MB DDR PC3200 stick (cheapest OEM available), and installed it. As far as know, this is the right type RAM for the mobo. Everything...

a REAL web-based camera by Boris Epstein
Hi all, We've just got a webcam from 4XEM ( http://4xem.com/ ) which was advertised as a web-camera (IP camera, whatever). There was only one caveat - it only works in the Internet Explorer as it's got an ActiveX control. So, essentially, this is not a web product, but rather a Microsoft-oriented...
