I've been ripping my DVD collection to my PC, so that I have an easy movies-on-demand interface for my home theater setup. So far I have it on multiple 500gb drives, however these are begining to fill up and also there is no redundancy in the event of a disk failure. Backups have been limited to...
I tried starting the PC without the CPU, and it will remain running. However, there are no beeps to indicate CPU is not plugged in. Also, the power supply fan feels very 'weak'. Could it be the power supply is defective?
Yes the CPU fan is connected to the proper connector, and for the brief period of time the PC is on, the CPU fan is spinning. The MB has a 4 pin power connector, but the manual says 'backward compatible with 3-pin fan connectors' if that could have anything to do with it.
RAM is:
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4 - Retail
I tried swapping, using one stick at a time with the same results.
Also, there is a small handwritten in ink "X" on one of the chipset chips, could...
Heatsink is seated properly; I do not believe overheating is a factor as the very first time I powered it on it shut off seconds later. Even if I somehow 'forgot' to put the heatsink on, the CPU would not overheat within the 5 seconds before power off.
New PC build: I turn it on and it powers up for about 5 seconds, fans spin up and everything looks fine, and then it turns off automatically. Pressing the reset or power button have zero effect. Only flipping the switch off and then on on the power supply will restart the PC (which will still...
Is this possible to do at all, or atleast for Windows based PCs:
Upon a client computer making an internet connection to my WiFi access point, can it be set so that a webpage will load displaying a certain homepage? This would occur only when the initial connection is made.
My familiarity with SMART extends so far as it being a diagnostic program for HD's. Other than that I wouldn't know what to look for.
It wouldn't a problem to install this drive in another machine and run those diagnostics, what should I look for within it?
I am helping a friend troubleshoot a PC he recently built. The PC worked fine for about 2 weeks, then it refused it boot up giving the no boot disk found error. The HD is still recognized in the BIOS, yet when attempting to reinstall Windows I get all sorts of write errors. Strangely, it appears...
I have two SATA Hard drives in my system. One of them was a bit low on space, so I moved a rather large directory (About 10 gigs) with Cut, then Pasted it to my drive C:.
My Computer still reports the 2nd hard drive as having about 400 megs free, whereas it should now report 10.4gigs. The...
I love the PC150 headsets.
On my home LAN with 4 PCs, each is equiped with one.
Downside is I've had to throw away 3 of them so far this year. Apparently running the cable over with your chair wheel screws up something =( There's never any visable damage, but the microphone will stop...
I spent countless hours searching for a good desk..
I ended up noticing the desks in my college computer lab were just what I needed, so I ended up going with those.
The "Desk," or table more like, is pressboard about an inch and a quarter thick, with sturdy steel pipe legs. The 30" deep...
I have tons of old photo albums in my closet, each with dozens of photographs that I've collected over the years. In all there are probably a thousand photographs total.
Is there any easy way to get them all scanned into the computer? I'd like them to be stored digitally, this way they can...
