Other than F10 for the limited BIOS settings on late model Deskpros, are there any other screens for BIOS settings? It seems like several years ago on Compaq or HP PC's it was possible to Cntl+F10 to get to a "hidden" area of the BIOS and expose more conventional options. I was helping...

I am going for a good notebook. The only real difference between the two that I can see, is the 128 vs 256 mb of video ram for the graphic card, plus the zd 8000 comes shipped with a tv tuner(external). Everything else can be customised, so I am not worried. Am I overlooking anything? Is there a...

I just started a new job and my new laptop is the Compaq tablet. I like the idea of the tablet, but this machine is horrible. The concept and ergonomics are excellent, but what idiot picked the Transmeta Crusoe processor? It is so slow you can watch the menus open in slow motion. Oh, and a 10"...

Hi I have never had issues before playing DVD's on my notebook now today all of a sudden, I keep getting that 'blue screen'. This is the message I get: A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

I have tried changing the fans on an ML370 server to some quieter ones, but it keeps saying that the CPU fan has failed and that the slot fan is not present. I rewired the connections from the originals onto the newer ones. The fans are running OK, so how is it detecting the failure etc? Is there...

I'm having an issue with a flickering screen on an Armada 7790DMT. I have no idea what happened to it, it was working fine up until recently. The screen looks ok it just flickers (to black and then back again) and sometimes several times, then sometimes it won't do it for awhile, then it'll start...

I have a Compaq 5000T where I tried restore to factory defaults using the 2 Quickrestore CD's that ware packed with the system. The first one worked OK but the computer was unable to read the second one. Although the disk appeared to have data on it, I'm unable to find any file or open...

Hi all, I just got a hold of a Presario SR1603WM computer. It as a Sempron 3200 in it with one stick of 512M ram. When I first got it I determined that the power supply was bad so I got a new one. After I hooked it up, the computer does the same thing, after I push the power button, the keyboard...

I've got a neighbor who owns a Presario 5000, model 5003US. I just upgraded the machine to XP from ME with a clean install. Runs much better now, but he also bought a 128 meg PNY memory module for it at Staples to upgrade the RAM from 128 to 256. When I installed it, the machine started to boot...
