Fellowes 320 CD Storage Binder $24.95 shipped

I jumped on this deal this morning and used a $0.99 cdr as padding. Just an hour ago I was browsing through Target and found some cheapo 96-cd binders on clearance for $4.99! Picked up 4 of them thinking I could cancel my amazon order, but now it says my cdr is being packaged and cannot be...

Compaq Dual P4 Xeon 2 Ghz PC - 50% off at Tiger!

Hell, the assembly line was just building them last night. (I work at the omaha plant too.) Too bad they managed to fry 12 of those motherboards last night. And these cases are spacious. You don't need to remove anything but the memory that's in there now to add more.

new Duron running at 60C and hard drive "clicking"

Okay, my 60gig is running fine now. The cpu spiking was my Xerox workcentre program pinging my printer (which isn't plugged in, btw) every 5 seconds. Gotta figure out how to get rid of that resident program. My mouse pointer won't work anymore though. Its a Microsoft Optical Trackball, and is...

new Duron running at 60C and hard drive "clicking"

I do have some artic silver, but unfortunately the only way I can get my heatsink off is by taking my mobo completely out (as this seems the case, atleast). I have about one centimeter of room between the heatsink clamp and my power supply, not a very fun experience. I've just got done trying...

new Duron running at 60C and hard drive "clicking"

Nope, its never had a burning smell. If I turn it on and cold boot it, I can watch the temp in the bios go up from 37C to about 52C in about 2 minutes. Also, I've turned it off after running for a couple hours, and then touched the metal along the base of the heatsink, and its nowhere as...

new Duron running at 60C and hard drive "clicking"

fun, I have a 20gig partition full of stuff I want to keep. and with my 80 gig in pio mode, it doesn't look like a fun experience ahead. I'll be busy tonight, and next week packing up 3 boxes (one to amd, one to ecs, and one to maxtor)

new Duron running at 60C and hard drive "clicking"

Yep, voltage readings that my bios gives out seem constant. I want to change my os over to the 80 gig, since its working better and is a fluid bearing drive (so it'd last longer as well). Would the backup/restore through windows backup like I mentioned above work, or should I just clean install...

MoBo problem please help:(

I'm having similiar troubles (read my post "computer won't post") and am about to take my computer into the shop and have them diagnose it. If they figure out what's wrong, I'll reply with it there. I've seen a LOT of people with these types of problems and there never seems to be a real...

Computer freezes when phone rings

It's definately the modem. I had the same exact problem with the same model of modem. I borrowed it from a friend since my older one was starting to go bad, and it was a sacrifice to make (higher download speeds or frequent computer freezes). Running the phone line through a power surge strip or...

I'm definately tired of running to the computer store and returning a product (processor, motherboard, etc) and getting something else. It is cheaper (theoretically just gas money and a lot of patience). I was meaning to take it in yesterday but didn't get a chance to. So I'll definately take it...

Yeah, tried 2 different agp cards with no luck. The thing ran completely fine until I just went in to reseat the heatsink. Didn't even touch the agp! *bleh* We'll see what they come up with though. About 8-9 more days left that I can actually return this stuff. Atleast that shouldn't cost me...

Keyboard/mouse shouldn't be the problem. Mouse isn't plugged in and keyboard is installled correctly. Even so, I've tried a few times even without a keyboard plugged in to see if it would come up to a 'keyboard error' screen like it should. At work last night, we had an intel system that had...

Yeah, I read that forum just now. Just a bunch of 'ecs sucks' and not much info or help. Tried jiggling and flicking the agp card as suggested (tried it on both of them that I have actually) and no help there. Even though all signs point to a bad motherboard, why wouldn't the newer one I tried...

I don't think that ESD would be a problem because I always make sure to touch the metal around my case and power supply before doing anything major like that, and when I went in the first time to reseat the heatsink and add the cards, I didn't even touch the motherboard. Besides, I tried a new...

Well, I'm not sure what happened, but now my keyboard lights will flash when the computer powers on, and when my cd drive is plugged in, the light doesn't constantly flash anymore, just flashes like normal when it starts up. Still doesn't post or beep though. :/ Progress maybe?

Well, like I said above, I tried running it completely out of my case to see if it was shorting out, and even tried a brand new motherboard (wish I could've afforded to keep it though, damn nice board). I even installed the plastic standoffs and paper washers that came with my board...

Yeah, I've put the jumper to clear the cmos several times, and let it there for atleast a minute or two each time. Should I try taking out the battery? And I've reseated the vid card and ram more times than I remember.

That's what I thought, and tried putting in a new Duron processor, still nothing. (double checked to make sure that it was compatible with my mobo, and it is)

I recently built a computer and had it run perfectly fine for 4 days, except for my processor running a little hot (around 47-51C at 100 FSB and 54-57C at 133FSB). I realized that it was definately the heatsink and reseated it (it was on backwards and the thermal pad wasn't completely centered...
