 | I'd say scan it with Mbam and Avast (free versions of both are available). It's entirely possible that you have a boot sector nasty. A boot sector nasty can easily survive a full format of the hard drive as even a full format won't re-write the boot sector. I'm not … |

| | Well, a local computer shop where I live does a complete PC with Win 7 pre installed for £275. It's a 2.6 dual core with 4gb ram, a dvd burner and a 250gig sata hdd. I recon that is good value for money and plan on getting one for myself … |
 | Re: No POST no Boot One thought, did you fit the standoffs before mounting the mobo in the new case? If you don't know what I mean by standoff then do a google picture search for "computer motherboard standoffs". If you did fit the mobo without standoffs then there is a strong chance that you … |

| | Sony are notoriously bad for drivers! If your laptop was sold with XP or Vista then you will most likely only find XP or Vista drivers for it. I have put 7 on a few Sony's for customers and it is always a nightmare to find drivers. For your webcam … |
| | If the screen is very dark but there is something showing on it then the backlight inverter is the most likely cause. If you know what you are doing then you need to open up your lappy and get at the inverter. It will have at least 1 surface mount … |
| | Re: optiontips.in If you are using DHCP then make sure the IP range of the new router is not restricted. I had a client replace a failed router that would only ever allow around half the PC's to connect all because by default the DHCP IP range was set to 1-110. I … |
