Laptop wont boot

I've got an HP laptop (almost a year old) which suddenly stopped working. I've never had a problem with it, but when I attempted to turn it on today it would not boot. It powers on, I can open the cd drive and I hear the fans but I can't detect any hard drive activity. It has 2 drives. It boots...

GuitarDaddy, would the Abit IP35 Pro mobo accept the X3350 or Q9450 chips without a BIOS update? Thanks.

New Build for Photographer

Thanks for the quick replies. I've never built a system with multiple hard drives. I know that you can set up scratch disks in Photoshop but have never been completely clear on the benefit. Would I install photoshop on the same HD as the OS or on the second HD? I am assuming the 1st HD and...

Best place to buy a custom laptop these days?

This is what I'm about to purchase through Costco.com. The final price before taxes and shipping (although I think shipping is free) is $1500.99. The really good thing about going through Costco is they double the manufacturers warranty. It is actually cheaper to build this through Costco's site...

Installing Leopard on a PC

Thanks for all the input. I guess I'll continue to be a non-Apple user. I want out of the MS loop though. Maybe Linux?

Installing Leopard on a PC

I will be building a new PC this fall (about the same time Leopard should be available) and was wondering what problems I would encounter if I attempt to install Leopard on the hard drive as the OS. I've never used a Mac before (but have always wanted to), however, I just can't justify the...

Upgraded my AMD chip to FX-60

Thanks for all the replies. I thought (mistake on my part) that my mobo was dual core ready. I did a BIOS update and now everything is great.

6600 GT Overclocking question

Addinator, I reinstalled the latest nvidia drivers (77.72) after re-installing windows but I didn't install the latest coolbits (I don't remember having to do that with this card...but with my memory, I may have). I'll give that a try.

6600 GT Overclocking question

I've got a Chaintech 6600GT graphics card and had been overclocking it by right clicking on my desktop, scrolling to NVIDIA display, clicking on my monitor, and then going to clock frequency settings. Simple. I was having problems with my BIOS (Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo) and had to re-install...

I feel like I bought a BETA mobo

My motherboard was rock-solid for the last 3 months or so...then i decided to update my BIOS again. Went from version 1005.003 Beta to 1011 final and its been acting very finicky. Randomn freezes, benchmarks aren't up to par, something is definitely not right here. Im currently using the...

AI booster & Cool n Quiet?

Thanks Squonk. I do realize what both programs are designed to do, but I wasn't sure if the AI Booster would automatically disable the Cool 'n Quiet feature (seems logical). I went into the BIOS yesterday and disabled the Cool 'n Quiet feature and have been using the AI Booster this morning but...

Need Help Looking For A PSU For A8N-SLI

I hope this isn't too late but I just assembled my system last night using the Antec True550 EPS12V (it was the last piece of the puzzle). System booted like a charm and 20+ hours later everything is working great. Just my 2 cents. Got it for $113 w/2 day shipping from ZZF.

ASUS A8N-SLI Single Graphics Card Install

I'm attempting to install my graphics card into this mobo but I'm a little confused by the documentation that accompanied it. I've got all my components except for my PS (RMA'd my dual rail Blue Storm for a single rail Antec True550). Anyway, I think that it should go into the PCIeX16_1 slot...
