 | Simply speaking.. your machine is overheating... the processor doesnt get "worn out", it either works or it doesnt.... it may get burnt out if you try running the system without suitable cooling. Your machine is turning itself off as a self protection mechanism - this is a good thing!! IF … |
 | This could be a multitude of issues from a failing hard drive, suspicious RAM or damage to the Motherboard... However first of all - GET BACKED UP!! even take an image of the drive if possible.. Then consider is this the original install of Windows 10 as factory installed... if … |
 | This may sound a little strange but I still have users with DOS 6.22 running specific applications they swear by, the old addage "if it aint broke - dont fix it" is really appropriate. Many XP users are comfortable with the product (comfort zone - first O/S) and reluctant as … |
| | for the cost of about £3.50 its worth the effort of getting a replacement battery. The laptop is highly unlikely the reason why the battery is dead. how old is the laptop? |
| | I am ever so sorry, but it is not possible to upgrade this laptop due to the graphics being delivered by a chip on the motherboard rather than a independant graphics card. This is often the case for laptops below the £1000 margin, even then those machines are also very … |
 | Right - for all of you out there with HP issues around the DV6000 and I also think the 9000 range is affected. The issue is beyond your control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The situation is generally due to a faulty NVidia chip which HP is well aware of and there is currently a … |

| | A better option might be to relocate youe Documents onto the second partition - as long as the partition is large enough - Firstly you will need to open EXPLORER - select the C: - right click on Documents and settings and select PROPERTIES. Tge screen that pops up will … |
| | Re: Please Help! How old is your laptop? The problem explained sounds like your built in wireless is not compatible with the service you have. There is also one other possibility - Some of the machines provided by HP in your model suffered from an issue with their wireless cards and changing the … |
| | I personally also run a small business from home and have a mixture of both personal and business traffic on my network. I have used many devices through the years and the only one so far which has fulfilled everything I have needed to use is a Netgear DGFV338 which … |
| | With lightening strikes most system motherboards and ram fries! This is one for the insurance company I am afraid. |
| | Does anyone know if it is possible to connect a machine temporarily to a SBS2008 SBS machine to fulfil windows updates. The idea is to utilise our own SBS WSUS to update clients machines after they have cleared the usual security scans and thenreturn them back to normal settings. Probably … |
| | Your error implies the BIOS cannot see the hard drive. Either the drive has died or requires you to grab a philis screw driver, remove mains, remove battery, with the machine upside down locate the panel which stores your hard drive, open the panel, carefully remove the drive, replace the … |

| | You should be able to configure the RAID controller to work as a straight IDE controller or RAID controller in the BIOS. The Promise RAID driver then should not be required. To make sure I would be inclined to disconnect the other drive in your machine and just give it … |
| | I can confirm jbennet's comment. There is no need to change monitors |
| | It sounds as though your machine is stuck in a low power state. If tapping the spacebar, or clicking the left mouse mutton does not recover it - press and hold your powerbutton down for approx 8 seconds and this will "crash" your machine, release and press the power button … |
| | Re: Tecra 8100 Dead? Have you pulled the power yet? Sounds like a "standby" or "hibernate" state - if so you MAY have just screwed the patching - Try holding the power button for about 8 seconds and then restarting in the normal way (or you could just pull the power cable!) IF the … |
| | Are you fully patched? and do you have enough licenses? |
| | DONT PANIC Your data is probably safe. However you will need to "Mount" the drive in another machine so that you can extract your data BEFORE you try anything else. The BSOD (blue screen of death) at the point described is usually down to either a memory issue, hardware failure … |
| | Re: Pc won't boot How old is your machine? Generally only very old machines require the boot process included on the "Boot Floppies". How did you carry out your replacement windows installation? You will need to be able to "boot" from your CD\DVD device setup within the BIOS. Once confirmed, insert your CD start … |
 | If I remember correctly you will need to remove the existing partitions first - possibly on another machine - and then install windows. |
| | Re: Desktop is dead How long have you left it before you got "cheesed" and reset it? Sometimes it is worth leaving it a couple of minute before powering off. |
| | Re: Logitech problem I can safely say thay I have been using the Di Novo Keyboard mouse and keypad (bluetooth version) for approximately 4 years now WITHOUT the logitech software and can honestly say that the devices work more reliably both in XP and Vista (ALL flavours). So before you start to give … |
 | I have seen this before and believe the only way we resolved the problem was by replacing the device. |
| | I take it you have not been playing in the BIOS area of your machine! If you have please return there and return the settings to defaults for now. If not there are three possible options for you 1. Via the control panel uninstall all the relevant components for the … |
| | Dont get too hooked up on the "sleeve Bearing" markings as this is the type of mechanism used for rotation, other variations include "brushless" and "ball bearing". You should be able to get a replacement from here [url]http://www.maplin.co.uk/searchtemplate.asp?criteria=40mm%20cooling%20fans%202%20pin%20lead[/url] or contact me and I could order you one. |
| | The problem sounds like it is the actual connection to the motherboard. Disconnect both of your power cables and reconnect them and press firmly until you feel the "click" of the retaining clip which lets you know that it is securely connected. It is highly unlikely that you have damaged … |
 | Getting 5.2 based purely on the Hard drive which is a 500gb Maxtor on SATA, other wise the machine gets a lovely 5.9 but the machine is as follows: 1 x AMD Phenom 9500, 4Gb Corsair 1066mhz RAM, NVidia 8800GTS 640Mb card, Vista Business 64 Bit!, Asus M3A32 MVP Deluxe … |
| | Re: No video on xp The beeping is a Pre Operating System Test (POST) code, if the beeps are 6 in total then that is generally indicative of a failed video device, if you are getting multiple fast beeps then usually this is your RAM. If its 6 beeps then check the card is correctly … |
| | Re: coffee spill How long ago was it when you did this? Was there sugar in the coffee? If it was today - DO NOT TRY AND TURN IT ON AGAIN - open the laptop and place upside down on a towel in a warm place and hope that it will dry out … |
