 | please dont take this the wrong way... but did you check the batteries?? |
| | Hello, I am doing an older system rebuild. I was in the process of installing Win 7, and everything seemed to be working just fine. It restarted on it's own, and now it won't go past the initial bios splash screen, or load into bios. I've tried resetting the CMOS, …  |
| | Sounds to me like your backlight is starting to go. I would suggest checking your contrast / brightness... but you say that the screen turns on for a brief moment, and then goes faint, so that's likely not the problem. Unfortunately, replacing the backlight is a fairly expensive and tedious … |
| | I would definitely try swapping monitors, just to try and eliminate that as a problem. I agree with caperjack about the older power supplies... but perhaps your OS was doing updates and downloaded an incompatible driver or something. If your system has onboard graphics, try taking out your video card(s) … |
| | Okay, so I'm working on this system for a friend of the family. There were ALOT of things wrong with this... but that's besides the point. Basically, I'm trying to figure out why it's running so slow. I've completely disassebled everything in the system, cleaned, dusted, reapplied thermal compound to … |
| | Hello, I have been trying to burn a disc image with a few different programs (cyberlink power 2 go 7, ultra ISO, and magic ISO). The burning starts up fine, but then I get the same error right away: Disc burning failed: Logical block address out of range any ideas? … |
| | Im planning an HTPC build using the ASUS AT3IONT-I motherboard. I would like to use the Silverstone MILO ML03B case. The issue I'm seeing so far is that the case comes with 2 USB 3.0 front headers, and the mother board doesn't have an onboard USB 3.0 header connection. I … |
| | I just built an HTPC using the Asus AT3IONT-I motherboard which has onboard CPU and GPU. The board is supposed to be HDMI ready, but I am getting no sound through HDMI to my TV. I know the HDMI cable and my TV settings are fine, because I can get …  |
| | Hello, I am currently building an HTPC for a client that will be strictly watching videos; both downloaded, and DVD / Blue ray, and im looking for some suggestions, as i have never built a HTPC before. Current hardware configuration: Asus M4A88TD-M AM3 DDR3 AMD Athlon 2 x4 640 3.0ghz … |
| | I just received a system to see if i can 'salvage' anything from it. When i got home, i tore it all apart to clean the components and see what i had to work with... Decent antec case with card reader Intel E210882 desktop board P4 2.66ghz 800fsb CPU 1gb … |
| | my father in law recently got a friend of his to install windows 7 on his computer, but when he got his computer back, the sound wasn't working. i checked the device manager, and all the drivers are updated. when you try and click the speaker at the bottom right … |
| | have you tried to update the driver? also, the card itself might be overheating. if there's a fan on it, check to make sure the fan is actually working when the computer is turned on. overheating can cause a whole list of problems. if the fan seems to be working, … |
| | so im back with another good one... my in-laws came to me and told me that their computer wouldn't turn on. they told me that for the past little while, the power would work only some of the time, until recently when it wouldn't work at all. i tested the … |
| | Re: can't run bios definitely sounds like a bios flash gone wrong. i agree with cowprit. contact IBM, and try to find a way to initiate a new bios flash. keep in mind that when you're doing a flash, dont touch anything. just walk away. if anything happens (any errors included) during a bios … |
| | so, i inserted windows xp into the drive attempting to format, and re-install... everything was running smoothly, until about half way through, it asked for the SP2 disc (i have xp pro WITH sp2 on the disc)... so obviously i didnt have the disc. restarted, and tried again, but then, … |
| | i just had to deal with this exact problem!! it's a few steps, but it works great: step #1: go into your windows folder (c:\windows) and find 'explorer.exe' file. it should be a picture of a computer. (you'll also see a file beside it called explorer, but that will lead … |
| | definitely sounds like over heating... but by the temps you've described, it's not likely... have you ran the system with the side panel off? is your CPU fan working properly?? there should be a connection that says 'cpu fan' or something along those lines right on the mobo. the other …  |
The End.
