I've used limewire for two years now,
and ever so and then I update to the new one.
For the past 2 weeks, Limewire has disable me
to connect to it's service and disable me to download
my music. Which gets me really mad.
It does show a globe and a firewall, but that is not the case
I don't think. It's always been like that, it's just that the
connection bars stays at one and does not show up
any songs =(

1. wouldn't turn on 1 day so opened up & checked all connections. Still didn't work.
2. tested with a different power supply....it blew up!(But possibly due to wrong volt setting or faulty P.S)
3. put old P.S back in and tried different Motherboard (& CPU) borrowed from a mate but still didn't turn on.....
NOW THIS IS THE WIERD BIT...
4. Put my Motherboard & processor back in so ALL original parts.... TURNED ON!!
5. 3 days later same thing happened! Wouldn't turn on again!
6. Swapped Motherboard again and it turned onto standby (orange light) so swapped back to my board and it turned on again!!! Later on it crashed so I tried to restart but nope - wouldn't turn on again.
7. Tried swapping hard drive - didn't work.
8. Tried using a different case (so different switch) - didn't work
9. Tried swapping Motherboard again but mate's board started to smell like burning so quickly took out!!
10. Now all original parts back in but even though it sprung back to life twice b4 it seems dead as a dodo now :(

I really don't understand as it's a Packard Bell that was over £300 for the tower alone last yr from PC World (refurbished) and THREE FLIPPING WEEKS past its year's guarantee. I really can't afford to pay to get some1 2 look at it coz I've got no money.

Does anyone have any ideas please??????????

today i got on my computer for like 10 min then it froze. (this usually happend for the past 6 months so i press the power button on my comp to turn it off then back on again, since alt+ctrl+del+del usually doesnt work.) but today i did all that, exept my comp turned on for a split second then off, i pressed again there was nothing. so i checked everything, cleared my cmos.. but when i took out my video cards the power worked. when i put them in the comp, it lits up split sec then off. i tried putting my cards 1 at a time, did the same thing. dint try switching them places because theyre connected with water cooling.

this is my 2 prob with my comp, first 1 was my comp didnt turn on at all cuz burned power supply (i had 850w, now i bought thermaltake 1kilowat)

my video & mobo are:
2 bfg 7800 gtx 256
asus a8n32 sli deluxe

I've had a Radeon X1650 pro 512MB PCI-E video card since about January, and it's worked fine. But games like Battlefield 2, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Crysis are giving me a pretty low fps of somewhere around 25 fps on their lowest settings during combat. I currently have 1 GB of DDR RAM and I've been thinking of upgrading for a while. Would it help my fps much or at all?

My parents are going to give me a computer for graduation, and I need to let them know whether I want a laptop versus a desktop. The only reason I really like desktops it is way easier for me to type on it and its what I'm used to, but the laptop would be easier for me to take around.

Your opinions please?

I have a AsRock 4 core dual sata 2 motherboard. My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce 8600GT PCI-E 512mb. When I first started my computer it started normal, but when it got to the login screen it froze and got reall pixely and crapy. Then nothing happened for awhile then it restarted and it goes in circles like that. I started it in Safe Mode and updated the driver but that did not help.
Thanks.

If 1GB = 1024 of RAM then 4GB should = 4096 of RAM. Does that mean that some of the RAM I added is not working? (2 2GB disk).

I have a cable modem and need to connect to a netgear vpn router. I've hooked up all the cables and it's like my computer doesn't know its there. My ip address doesn't match the router address & I can't login to the router address. How do I fix this? FYI, If you hadn't guessed already...I don't know much about this stuff, so the simpler the explaination, the better. Thanks so much!

When i put a text of a ratio e.g. "1/2" Excel automatically converts it into the corresponding date (e.g. 2 - Jan) although i had chosen the format to be general and not a date. When i try to make it into a general cell again, there it gives me the corresponding number but not the ratio. I know that i can keep the text form if i put something else before the ratio (e.g. " 1/2" instead of "1/2") the problem is that i need it to be without anything extra because it will be the input for another program, which requires (i think) the exact expression ( i suppose that if something like that can't be done, then might not be a problem with the program if a put "something extra" before the ratio.
