| | I wouldn't touch one of those with someone elses barge pole! Those all-in-one's are based on laptop technology rather than PC technology. This means that it will most likely have the same graphics fault as their laptops which means it most likely wont last more than 18 months and will … |
| | It was most likely the hub at fault. You may have exceedit it's bandwith or amperage capability! |
| | You need to follow the instructions in this thread - [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread134865.html[/url] then post all the logs asked for.  |
| | Hi all. As the title says, does your ISP take the p***? So many Internet Service Providers (ISP's) out there seem to think they can make whatever rules they like and rip us all off with them! Does yours do that to you? I have heard a few stories that …  |
 | Sounds like a hardware fault! You will probably hve to take it to a professional for diagnosis. |
| | See if anything here helps - [url]http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm[/url] |
| | Why on earth would you need to overclock a CPU that's already just about the rastest on the market??? I see absolutely no point in overclocking that at all! |
| | Seeing as it's only 4 months old, you should get it fixed under warranty! |
| | You will have to get your friend to send it again after changing it's file extension. For example, abcd.exe to abcd.old. Once you have downloaded it, you just change the extension back to abcd.exe again. |
| | Try some different ram in it, if that makes no difference then it's probably going to need a new motherboard. |
| | Different laptops have different methods of gaining access to the screen connector. You haven't said what laptop it is! |
 | Try burning it at a slow speed, x4 or less. If that still doesn't help, try some different brand blank disks.  |
| | HP don't support windows 7 for that particular model. What version of windows 7 have you put on it? Is it 32bit or 64bit? |
| | That would be illegal unless you use the key from your old laptop and no longer use your old laptop. |
| | Is the drive definately a DVD burner?? It will say on the front of it if it is. |
| | It might be worth testing the PSU with a dugital volt meter to see if all the outputs are correct! |
| | Do you want to put windows 7 32bit or windows 7 64bit on it? It can run either but I would recommend 32bit as it has far less compatability issues than the 64bit. The 64bit version is however a little quicker. If you go with the 32bit version then you … |
| | [QUOTE=khakilang]That is bad news coming from a reputable vendor[/QUOTE] Hmmmm, I wouldn't call HP that personally. A heck of a lot of their DV series laptops have serious manufacturing flaws in them that are repairable but HP charge several hundered to replace the motherboard with another one with the very … |
| | Re: No NumLock I'd advize against getting an HP DV series laptop. They are well known for very expensive graphics failure. I use a Lenovo x61 and it does have a number lock (via the Function key) if that's any help! |
| | Vaio's have a fuse close to the power socket. It's rectangular and usually white in colour. It might be worth checking that to see if it's open circuit. I have a Vaio in the workshop with the exact same symptoms as yours (the fuse is good on this one) and … |
| | $300 seems extortionate for a crashed hard drive. Get a second opinion from somewhere else!  |
| | Are you using a USB keyboard? If so, try a PS2 keyboard (if your computer has PS2 ports). |
 | Thanx to this article, I have ordered one! Cheerz Davey! :) |
| | How come you ran Mbam in safe mode? Try updating it and doing a FULL scan in normal mode. Please post it's resulting log. |
| | Hi all, I have done some googling and just can't seem to find the information I am looking for so I thought I'd post here. What I would like to be able to do is modify the graphical content of the taskbar of Windows 7. I have a Lenovo laptop … |
| | Have you tried restoring back to a time before you did it? |
| | Just to check, you did fit the motherboard standoff's to the case in the correct positions before fitting the motherboard didn't you? I ask this because I have seen it done wrong before. If you don't know what I mean by motherboard standoff's, google for a picture of one! |
| | |
| | In short, no! You describe classic graphics failure. Your repair shop will telly you that you need a new motherboard, 9 times out of 10 you don't. The usual cause is a break in the soldering between the graphics chip and the motherboard. This can usually be repaired with a … |
| | What protective software have you got? Have you had any infections that coincide with this problem? |
| | Double sided is generally considered quicker but to be honest, the difference isn't all that much. |
| | Have you checked for malware? |
| | |
| | |
| | What antimalware software do you have? Panda is antivirus only, it's not antimalware. If you don't have antimalware then you are most likely infected and that may well be causing your problems! |
| | When you say CPU you actually mean computer. CPU refers to the Central Processing Unit which is the chip at the heart of a computer. You say your power supply was broken! In what way was it broken? We can only work with the information you give us and all … |
| | [QUOTE]4. I have tried allocating individual IP addresses to each machine but that didn't help.[/QUOTE] Do you mean that you turned DHCP off? If so, did you turn it off on just the router or on all the computers too? Need to be sure as it sounds like an IP … |
| | That could easily be malware activity! What protective software do you use? Have you scanned with it recently? If so, what did it find? |
| | If you read the first post fully, the machine shuts off after a few seconds. That absolutely cannot be down to a driver as the driver only starts up whan windows is loading. It's most likely to be a faulty graphics card or a faulty power supply unit or a … |
| | It would help if we knew what PC it is! |
| | It's most likely a motherboard driver problem. Given that Emachine drivers are notoriously hard to find, your best option is to turn sleep mode off! A bit of advice. Emachines were built with the absolute cheapest parts possible. You should buy yourself a new power supply immediately and use it … |
| | Just after your bios screen, press F8 and see if it will boot in safe mode! |
| | A simple test. Unplug all the power supply internal cables. Then with the motherboard power cable (the biggest one) short the green wire to any black with a paperclip or bit of wire. It should spin it's fan up, if it doesn't, it's a dodo! |
The End.
