Strange problem
All fairly new. MSI 645 P2 MB 3 ghz chip. SATA and ATA drive ATI 9600 AIW card. This evening while running a mail program from my secondary ATA drive, the drive disappeared. In wasn't in My Computer. I rebooted checked bios and it wasnt there. So unpluged the drive booted and then rebooted with it pluged back in and it was there, no problems. A few minutes later on another reboot, nothing on the screen. I thought that maybe the video connector had come loose when I moved the computer so secured it, still nothing Had another video card, put that in, still nothing. Turned the montor on while unplugged from the computer, got the normal test screens. Plugged everything back in and now everything works again. |

It sounds to me like you have an iffy power supply. -Dave |

A few days ago, in working with MS Access, I went to print a report and it wouldn't print, and it said no printer. Yet my printer had been working fine. I openned up another ap and printed from that and then went back and Access could now see the printer and it printed fine. |
