I would suggeat getting your hands on a system speaker and connecting it to the motehrboard. Chances are the board is throwing an error code before it restarts. This could help you figure out where the problem is at.
You won't find drivers for it. The card is pretty old and ATI produced a few other versions of it later on but none that came close to crossing over into the Vista and Win 7 time frame. As you know Vista and Win 7 use a different driver model then XP. Since ATI has no longer makes the card and...
The pro keys should work on the pro CD. But they may not. The Home Key will not work with that CD. BTW the CD you have won't have a certain key asigned to it. I beleive there is an algorythum used to verify CD keys.
You may have to run Linux on those laptops.
Your best bet will be to locatet the controller chip on the board and look it up. Then you may be able to find a wireing diagram for it. I assume you have the software and drivers needed for your system to use that.
You may run into problems and be forced into a full reinstall of Windows after the swap. THe driver cleanout may not be good enough. So make sure to get a backup of any important data on the main drive before you start.
I think a good UPS would be your best option. Make sure its Line-interactive. This will ensure your system gets good clean power even during the short period in which the AC may cause a brownout situation starving the PC of power while it's compressor kicks in. The built in surge suppressor that...
Why do you need optical input? There is next to no difference in quality between the optical and componant audio inputs.
Problem is most only offer optical out not in and out. Here a couple i found. Different brands but they look like the same device...
Well all 4870s are the same as far as the drivers go. You may want to roll it back to an older driver.
There error message you posted is from a power failyure not a PSU that is uder powering the system.
Have you tried updating or rolling back you GOU drivers? Assuming there are no porblems with the PSU it should offer plenty of power for your system. Unless you have the CPU highly OCed.
If the card you get doesn't need an additional power connector from the PSU then the stock PSU may be enough. The card can only get a max of 6A from the PCI-E slot. You'll be stressing it but its doable. Either way a second PSU can be used to power the drives and any other thing that don't get...
Sure you can hook your cable into the card. But you'll only get the basic channels that come over that cable. If you want your digital channels you'll either need to go through the box or get a card that is compatible with your cable companies digital tuner.
If you preorder the phone you tend to get it within a few days of initial release. That being said you still have to go online or to the store to get the phone activated once it arrives. Out of stock issues are rarely forced. Often they underestimate the demand or there are production issues...
Is the LCD Labled as an HDCP display. If not then it may not be. If it is then the HDMI to DVI converter is the problem. HDCP is a form of copy protection. It ensures there is a safe and uninterrupted line from the player to the screen. Making sure you have nothing in between that can capture...
Keep in mind you get what you pay for in most cases. Especially when it comes to cheap electronics. If the price is lower then most then you can bet they went cheap on allot of things in there. Thats more items that could possibly go bad in the near future.
In that case i'd say its time for a new PC. Its quite possible the motherboard is damaged as well. I would hate for you to spend any money on a new/used CPU only to find it needs a new motherboard as well.
You will need a copy of a previous version of windows. The Disk is all you need. When installing the upgrade version is will ask for the disk to verify the upgrade then go on with a full install. But you will need a disk. I too have an upgrade version of XP and i keep a Win 2000 disk with it for...
It won't be free. Your going to need a bit of hardware first. If you want it over the web the signal needs to go to a box like a Slingbox that will pump it out over the web.

A TV tuner card is good for getting the signal from the Antenna or cable box and into your PC.
Are you sure its a minit-ITX motherboard? As far as i know HP doesn't use them and i'm pretty sure they don't use any kind of proprietary power connector for there systems. your link relating to the PSU issue is broken. Sure the PSU may be small and non-standard but the connectors should all be...
Any indication on those other forums that the system needed a hacked bios? If not and you find references to others who have simply plugged the new CPU in and ran without problems then i would suspect a bad CPU. This kind of thing is hard to troubleshoot unless you know for sure the CPU is good...
Well first of all 85C on a CPU is pretty hot. Thats a good indication of a bad cooler. Continued use at that temp may have caused damage.
Question, did you get beep codes prior to this? Basically does the motherboard have a speaker connected to it to give beep codes?
If you do have a speaker...
With speed fan you have to go through and set it up. Weeding out the good readings from the bad. Sometimes you have to go in and adjust the offsets for the reading to be correct. Speedfan just goes in and pulls any possible reading it can from the chips on the motherboard that report that...
Have you checked the settings. Unplugging the old speakers may have inadvertently caused the sound software to change the settings for the jack. It may have set the jack to headphone or set it up for surround sound.
Bottom line... When something like this happens its best to wipe the drive and do a complete reinstall. These viruses bury themselves deep into system files. So if you are able to wipe it from the system key system files will be destroyed. As you have seen these things also block you from...
You can try the paperclip trick. Disconnect the 24 pin power connector from the motherboard. Insert a metal paperclip into the connector where the green wire and one of the black wires are. This will turn the PSU on. If it doesn't come on then its dead. Next you'll defiantly want to get a...
Do you have a spare video card you can throw in the system to test it. Anything you can do to narrow down the problem will be good. Would hate to have you replace the motherboard just to find out the card was the issue.
Any kind of burning smell coupled with the device not working means its dead. If its inside the warenty period then use it. Otherwise just find a replacement for it.
You may just need to replace the motherboard entirely. Unless the PSU also got water in it in which case it may be a good idea to replace that as well.
