Considering its only happening on one computer I would think the problem is a setting on that machine. Like maybe someone has manually set the DNS server addresses on your computer. Go into the...

I suggest giving more details than "it wont boot"... No one will be able to help you if they don't have details :)

Cheers!

I love it mad hatter... I totally agree. RANT ON!

You might want to look into a thin client server. The user's machines connect to the server on boot and the server "gives" them an OS that is running as an instance on the server... So all the...

I can't tell you what you should go for, but I had a similar story (started writing in Basic on a Commodore 64 in 1989) and I ended up a Linux Sys Admin. LAMP applications and Clustering are fun...

Don't get discouraged, it all starts to make sense with a little time. :)

You should be able to go into Control Panel > Add and remove programs > Add/Remove windows components, then select internet explorer and install it.

My personal suggestion is to download firefox and call it a day. The only url I ever enter into IE is www.mozilla.com Out of curiosity, what OS are you on and what version of IE are you running?

Dude, HAWT tip with the history commands! wOOt!

Did you run your scans in safe mode? And yes i said scan's'. No one spyware app can get all the nasties.

I would uninstall zonealarm and AVG, then disable the windows firewall. I have heard about many issues like this when ZoneAlarm is involved.

I have a presario with the same light you are talking about.... It is NOT the HD indicator.. (people should not just guess on forums) There is a small LED light located about an inch and a half...

Right click "My Computer" select "properties", click the "hardware" tab, click the "Device Manager" button. Expand "network adapters" and find your ethernet card. Right click it and select...

See if it will boot from the winXP install cd, to make sure its not a driver locking up...

Hello,

The way to see if you can get anything off of your hard drive is to buy a cheap external drive case (about $20) and put the hard drive in there and then plug the USB into your computer.......

Just in case you were asking about physical danger to yourself... It's not likely.. the fuses/breakers in the house will blow before you could shock yourself by having a water cooled machine. If a...

I have had great results speed wise with Google Chrome... Seems to open pages faster than both IE and firefox.. The downside is it's just in Beta, so glitches happen from time to time.

(Reply...

What the real question is, is if you have PCI, AGP, or PCIE (PCI Express) the x16 is the speed. Your Mother Board has the following slots:
* PCI-E x16: 1
* PCI-E x1: 1
* PCI: 3 ...

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread... I solved the problem and forgot to update. Yes the problem was that the hypervisor hardware clock was 5 hours off.

lol yes chrome has a few bugs, like for instance i have had a hard time opening pdf's with it.... But it's a beta.... enough said.

Yes for sure Norton is a memory HOG... and in my opinion doesn't do its job very well either.... I use Avast... Its free... It works... And you can schedule boot time scans, which I like. The FIRST...

I would see if the firewall has a "white list" or a list of trusted sites.. and add the two sites to that list and see if that fixed it.

Cheers,

There is a LOT of work to web hosting... Sure it seems like setting up a server and just collecting money, but that is NOT CORRECT. It just gets worse the more sites you host... You have to be on...

I think he was talking about using cables to connect all of the machines to the KVM itself, but using a small software application to do the actual switching... meaning no hardware switch. The KVM...

I'm not sure about the wireless backup devices, I would guess you would plug them into a desktop that is wired into the network and then map them as a network drive from your laptops...

As far...

Have you gotten connected to the internet using an ethernet cable coming from the linksys? My suspicion is there is some sort of ip conflict or network conflict.. For instance, when you link two...

Sounds to me like you have a process that starts up at boot time, that is eating all your memory up... The computer being very "active" is your system using virtual memory because your system RAM is...

I think I might have an idea what the prob is, but here is my output of your commands:

Well for one, yes a dual core will draw more power than a single. The wattage you are drawing with the new setup is close to maxing out a 450W PSU, but it "should" be able to take it.... Unless...

Larry, here is my suspicion. You have a loose connection to one of your hardware devices, which in turn has a corrupt/conflicting driver. My assumption is that the corrupt driver keeps the computer...

Derp, considering your situation, I would start pulling out parts from your "busted" machine and testing them in another WORKING machine... To see if everything works individually.

~Mike

Derp, does your mobo have built in graphics?

I would take out all of the cards too.. soundblaster, all that extra stuff... Try to get it to boot with only PSU, mobo, and HD. That narrows it down...

Derp, if I were you I would strip the system down to bare minimals like I described earlier. I usually do this anyways when I change out a motherboard. Every time I have just thrown a machine...

Definitely sounds like a loose connection. Make sure your ribbon cables are tight into the mobo and the HD's.

~Mike

I would try taking out your memory sticks and re-seating them... (just a shot in the dark)

Then I would unplug the power from EVERY piece of hardware that isn't needed to boot up... CD/DVD...

When ever I have tried to see linux files with a windows machine, the windows machine has been blind... The reason for me was that windows systems don't see the file system "ext3", but Linux machines...

When I first started using Windows Vista I ran into this problem. I couldn't find where the "Run" link was! I finally had to google it...(having not known the hot keys to get it all these years......
