Looks like a fried motherboard, anything else likely?

My Windows doesn't boot, so I can't install anything. :(

Looks like a fried motherboard, anything else likely?

Hi all - I'm dealing with a nasty problem here. I built my computer some five years ago, with an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherbboard. A couple of years after that, the chipset fan started making horrible noises and died, so I replaced it with a third-party one (the Asus folks never got back to my...

Gap year

Responding to previous points: -Cornell vastly underestimated our "family need". I think it's supposed to be the stingiest Ivy. -Health insurance is a problem from the time I turn 18, but by then, I should be able to find work that provides it. I'm currently gearing up for summer...

Gap year

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'm in the north suburbs. Well, there are three factors that are probably going to help with admissions a second time around: 1) My profile has improved since decisions season by quite a bit: I went from being god-knows-what in math competitions to placing...

Gap year

I'm a graduating high school senior, and I'm faced with a bit of a dilemma. I got rejected from all but one of the colleges I wanted to go to, and couldn't afford that one (Cornell). Now, I'm faced with the choice of either going to another college that, while more than decent in general, is my...

Programmable microprocessor project

Oh wow, I've been taking a look at various things having to do with the Butterfly, and I'm quite possibly more confused than I was when I started. I think I have the serial cable idea more or less down - am I going to have to solder one together with wires and a connector, or can I find one...

Programmable microprocessor project

Wow, has it really been two weeks since I last posted? Time's really flown. Anyways, if I get the Butterfly from here http://www.mouser.com/Search/P...CyNbWb%2fpW7IERZjls%3d and a sensor, am I also going to need a serial cable (and possibly USB adapter) and leads? It looks like the parts don't...

Programmable microprocessor project

Well, if it works as well and is a lot cheaper and/or simpler, it could be worth a shot. Do you have any links to tutorials or overviews of that kind of stuff?

Programmable microprocessor project

After seeing this video, once I stopped laughing, I got the uncontrollable urge to make some sound-effect shoes. Essentially, upon stepping on the shoe, it emits a sound. I have yet to figure out the technical specifics, but either preprogrammed or switchable sound effects are both options...

Are things better because a Mom invented them?

Have you read The Fountainhead? This made me think of a part of it.
