I have a new Antec 300W PS w/ a 12V connector, but the mobo I'm using is pretty old and doesn't have a 12V connection. Still should work though, right? It was working before during the initial OS setup, but now 2 diff. hard drives on 2 diff. controllers won't power up. It won't POST either. ...

I have a 3com OfficeConnect Dual Speed 8-port hub - a few years old now - which has recently started producing a loud hissing noise, and occasionally a high-pitched squealing noise to boot. However, it still seems to work okay (touchwood). Is it about to pop a capacitor or something? We used to...

Okay, the problem is the PC turns on but the red light (by the drum/tube type icon on the case) stays on and doesn't do much else. The computer hums but doesn't post, no drives can be accessed, nothing comes up on the screen (except a "no input" message". That red light means the hard...

A friend of mine gave me her laptop, a IBM ThinkPad i Series Model 1161 with screen problems. The screen appears very greenish and sometimes pink/purple flickering. At first I thought it is a typical videodriver problem and installed all the latest drivers. I soon found out though that the...

I am trying to go from the svideo out on my laptop to rca plugs on my tv (or my reciever), but i recieve some really bad distortion (colors messed up). Is there something I can do with software in order to send the correct signal over? Or can I buy a fancier adapter in order to get the correct...

I have an external enclosure which houses a new Hitachi 80 GB Harddrive. When I use the USB output to the computer, it sees the Harddrive. Yet, when I use the Firewire on the external drive and the computer, it does not see it. I do not know whether I should use the Control panel to add hardware...

Hello all, Got a weird situation happening on my 2nd computer. It is a Tyan Tsunami ATX P3 650 with 256 megs of ram and Windows XP SP1a. Just recently it has started acting up. I'll be in something and then windows will jump to blue screen of death with a dll error. The dlls are not consistent so...

I was given an old Nighthawk Electronics Ltd. PCK4V KVM recently, and would very much like to use it. *BUT* there was no manual, there is no manual on the net, and the company seems to have gone bust last year so there's no chance of getting information from them. I opened the box up,...

Fold them up neatly and leave them alone. There is nothing good that will result from random snipping of power supply cables. You're in grave danger of shorting something out, to say nothing of the fact you would eliminate any possibility of ever adding anything to the computer. "Softly Softly...

Hi! Can anyone suggest some video capture hardware and software that will allow TV capturing on a Windows Server (2000 or 2003) when there is no user logged into the computer?

Hi all, Problem with my hard drive which is currently reported as 25GB when it should be 80GB. My computer originally had a partioned HD so Im guessing that I simply can't 'see' the other partions. I have not altered the file system (currently FAT32) although I did upgrade my OS to XP pro....

I've had this problem awhile but it seemed to be getting worse. My computer pretty much wipes out my AM radio (FM unaffected). All the wall sockets in my room are on the same circuit so I'm out of luck moving the radio. Now... I expect the AM radio to go bonkers if the system is on but this happens...
