The P III computer of my wife suddenly died. Last week she called me and told me she had just a black screen and nothing seemed to work. She beeing a blonde and I being a male chauvinist pig, I thought it was just a simple hangup. So I generously came to her aid: C-A-D-ed a few times, no...

60C is a bit hot - most programs to monitor motherboard temperatures set the warning levels at 60. Easy to check - just take the side panel off the case and that'll drop temperatures quickly and burn some cd's. If all goes smoothly look at ways to drop your temperatures. eg keep the case dust free...

I am looking for a CD writer for my Pentium 200 PC with Windows 95 and only want it for backing up files. All the options I have looked at say that they either require something higher than Windows 95 or higher than a Pentium 200. Is this strictly true for what I want it for or is this for...

Looking for a good mobo to upgrade to from my 800 MHZ Athlon A7V board. From what I hear an nForce2 is the best Athlon chipset to get. Looks like the A7N8X-X is the boards to get. Trying to spend less than $300 for mobo, CPU and 512 MB of good DDR400 memory. (gonna get some from Crucial).

Hello, This is about my issues with my RAID array. Does anyone know of a motherboard that is compatible with a striped IDE raid array created on a gigabyte ga-7vrxp motherboard? Last weekend my computer started to freak out. Over a 20 minute period it degraded to freezing during regular system...

I was thinking to change my 2*256 SDRAM PC133 memory's chip with a 512 DDR 333 (my motherboard support both). Who know the improvement in performance in such change (the system is a P4 2.53)? In other words: is it convenient? Thanks

Hello, Recently my computer starting shutting itself off, then it seemed like the power would go on and off (the leds on the cd and power flashed) until I pulled out the electricity-plug. Then if I replugged it would go OK for a few minutes, and then do the same thing. I suspect this has something...

I bought a no name ("Linkworld"?) keyboard that has extra keys (Power,Wake,etc) but came with no drivers. I tried to find mfg's website w/ no luck. Does anybody know where I can get a driver (generic or whatever) that might work with this thing? Thanks, Mort

Hi, i am looking at upgrading my processor (currently a XP1800, with MSI 6380E - KT3 chipset) to a XP2600+. I have checked the mobo settings and i can run the FSB at 333MHz, however my current ram is only 266MHz (PC2100). Is it worth replacing with faster ram (PC2700) so the entire system can...

I want to buy a KVM switch to control two computers--a new Dell server that came without a keyboard or mouse, and an older machine (case circa 1992, but internal components are all relatively new) with a DIN5 keyboard port and a DB25 serial mouse port. The mouse already uses a DB9 to DB25...

I'm trying to use a new unbranded dvd drive in a 400Mhz dell base unit. Win98 has recognised it as being there, but it thinks that its a removeable disk drive, occasionally it thinks its a harddrive, and sometimes it just wont recognise it at all. According to the device manager, the device...

One question: will a graphic card for AGP 8x work with a mainboard on AGP 4x?

My new PC makes a whole lot of noise. I think it's the fan from the power supply, but I'm not sure. Has anyone any thoughts on how to make it more quiet? Marc
