USB Short Causing System Failure?

Is it possible for a USB port, USB cable, or USB device to short out and cause my system to auto restart? For months now my computer will randomly restart. I have windows 7 set to NOT automatically restart, yet there was no blue screen for months. All temps are fine. Just recently, I finally...

RCA - 32" 720p / 60Hz / LCD HDTV $250

In my experience at the 3 stores I've worked at, managers generally won't do it unless their is a high quantity and they've been having a hard time pushing a closeout model out the door. They'd rather get rid of it before it goes past "at-risk" but if the model sells well at that store they...

New video card and system won't boot

Found it: It was a bios issue. I should have thought of this earlier, but the motherboard I ACTUALLY tried the card on was an intel 965wh not the asus p5q. I forgot that I swapped out mobos shortly after trying this card in System #2. SOOOOOOO both boards that this card was tried on were...

New video card and system won't boot

I tried a 750w bfg psu and it didn't work. I don't think it's a power issue. Also swapped in a different HD and it's still doing the same thing. I stopped by a pc boutique shop and the lady at the counter said she had the same issues with an ATI card last week. What she did to fix it was...

New video card and system won't boot

Yes. It's the 6pin power connector and it is connected. I found another clue, but I'm still unsure of the solution. I just pulled off all the components and put the CMOS jumper into maintenance mode (swapped the jumper one pin over like you normally would to clear CMOS) and then booted it...

General lag/stutter/skip every 4s

I'd be surprised if I got a virus so quickly. The system did it after a fresh install before I even had the internet hooked up. I swapped in a 6600GT and it's doing the same thing so that rules out the video card. I'm running to the store now to pick up a psu and I'll post the results of...

Intel Retail Edge 2007!!

Last year I ended up using the motherboard and I don't mind it too much. This year I think I'm just going to plop the processor in and get rid of the rest or maybe build a cheap budget system for one of the family members.
