Much of this depends on how much you move the laptop. Pluging in and unpluging expands the contacts on AC adpt. at batt. over a long period of time. If not that the batt. contacts INSIDE unit are...

Analysis please?

download link?

G2, links, etc.?

& the skinny is?

I still use ie6, experience same prob. with some sites. Will go to site but will NOT complete display. (It's server is probably out of this world also.) You may be experiencing same/similar prob. ...

(people should not just guess on forums), long skinny green light below PWR button And your point isssss?

Suggest you cut down on caffeine and/or remove toothpicks.

Green is PSU, blinking should be a big tattle tale. Red is SUPPOSED to be HD activity.

batt. ?

The batt. may or may not be dead. However, it's easier to replace than try to fix burned power connection pins/slots. Lot less aggravation.

Your first and best clue was running fan and no post. The fan runs on DC. The mobo runs on AC & DC for a variety of functions. Basically, even with valid DC, no AC means no boot, post or anything...

As you noted, you expect to be out another PSU if nothing else. Cause is probably direct connection to wall. Even a modest computer grade power strip would have helped prevent. If you had one,...

Generally prob.s in this area are firewall related. Tried to solve similar prob. some months ago. Although it IS supposed to work. After some considerable head scratchin and hair pullin I threw up...

Your prob. isn't necessarily anything that you can correct at your end of the net. Prob. is probably due to slomo connection.

Batt. and/or AC adpt.

Did you check/change the page file settings?

As I have not personally seen one I can't really say much. Personally I wouldn't use it for the reason that you alluded to. The dangers obviously are water based short circuits resulting in burn...

Even if you could get one from someone outside of the UK the power grid where you are is different from many other places on this rock. Best bet is to contact mfg. for replacement, & be sure that...

Best bet here is defective power adapter and/or batt.

Check device settings. Somewhere there has to be a tic or setting command to allow standby mode. This system is on all of the time but there's no one here to use it but me. Is there a specific...

Sleepy head. DO NOT EVER post your real email on one of these boards. Contact SYSOP for instructions on having it REMOVED.
Have you tried different or new PSU?

What I have noticed is that I can't feel any air coming out of the vents, although the fan runs like hell. Is my CPU fan broken?

Air flow generally goes in, it's doubful that you'd feel any coming...

Given the stated circumstances I'd bet almost any odds that whatever the prob. is it ISN'T the BIOS. Wait and see, good idea.
Most likely the org. prob. was due to faulty on/off switch with a...

Why are U using a cooler that is known to be under rated?

"how often": next to impossible to say, not knowing the machines work environment.
fluid. depends on what you're using.

Seems your AC adapter cable is making intermittent contact.
Replace cable or adapter.

PSU plugs are usually polerized to prevent from being plugged in wrong.
Go slow, plug in the mobo first then the drives.

RAM modules are usually quite reliable, probs. with them can look like something else.
the MS RAM check was thorough but went faster than other checkers.

if you haven't already, clean the CPU cooling fins.
I'm not familiar with the OS that you are using so the help here is going to be general.
This is probably a OS issue common to the XP family. ...

the USB keyboard gets it's support in the CMOS. for ps2 kbd support DISABLE the kbd support in the BIOS or try another USB kbd.

heat or insufficient air flow over the cooling fins usually due to accumulated dust is a known enemy of the CPU.
if the PSU fan is still running after shut down then it's possible that the PSU...
