My motherboards fan(Asus A8N5X) has keep screwing up recently. First it was making kind of a grinding noise but then stopped making it. A couple of weeks later it started again and now has fully stopped. I fiddled with it and it started to work again but only at around 1300RPM and only for a while before getting stuck again.

I asked around here and someone said the bearings are contaminated and that to help fix that I should put 1 drop of Sewing machine oil or another decent lubricant on it and let it settle.

I'm getting it replaced on monday with a heatsink(asus don't make those fans anymore) but do you think the sewing oil will help it? I don't want to fry the whole motherboard but I kinda need to use the computer before monday without having to fiddle with the fan every 10 minutes or so...

I'd like to know whether it's worth the upgrade, because I still have to change my motherboard to do that right? I currently have an AsusTek P5PE-VM

My machine has a PCIE x16 slot, but a lot of the cards I'm seeing online are just PCIE, which I assume means probably just x1. Will a PCIE card work in a PCIE x16 slot? Thanks

My daughter tried to download songs onto her MP3 player through our USB. I wasnt there so not exactly sure what went down, but she said all of the songs she originally had on her MP3 were gone. I tried to upload pics from my digital, plugged it into the USB and it wouldnt do anything. I unplugged it, and then realized all the pics were gone from my camera. What is going on here? I have an old pc. My friend said my USB might be outdated. Is this even possible?

I don't understand it. If yahoo messanger works doesnt that mean that I do have internet? I can't get any webpages in internet explorer to work though. It's a new wireless network adapter and it worked fine when i set it up then i restarted my computer and now it says "you are connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found"

I somehow turned off my bulleted outline option. It is supposed to let me press return and tab and give me a new style of bullet for a new point underneath another point. I somehow turned it off earlier and can't figure out how to turn it back on...PLEASE HELP, thank you!

I was going to get a 8800GTS but with the positioning of my northbridge heatsink it wouldn't fit. I brought an X1950 pro for next day delivery, only to shortly realise the X1950 XT would have been a better investment. My current card is a 7800GT, and I was wondering if the X1950pro would be worth keeping, or if I should immediately return it in its unused state, to get a refund and get the X1950 XT instead.

I just had a couple of questions about networking. I have a Belkin wireless network to share my internet with my sister's computer. I've decide to switch from wireless to wired, and I have the ethernet cable to do so, however, if I hook up the ethernet cable from her computer to the wireless router, would it still be considered a wireless connection since it would be hooked up to a wireless router? Also, if I were to decide to buy a different modem besides Belkin, would I need to install that modem on my computer, since a network connection through the Belkin modem has already been set up, or could I hook it up to work right away? I had to replace my old Belkin wireless router months ago with a different Belkin router, and it worked with no need for the installation CD and no problem, but I wondered if a conflict could be presented with a router from another company. Thank you for those who can provide answers!

I have a Virgin Broadband contract which is for one year and doesnt end until January 2008. Problem is its a crap deal, their phone rates are dire and their TV package is worse. Sky are doing a much better deal, does anyone know how I can get out of Virgin to go with Sky without incurring loads of costs?
