my pc comes on but nothing is displayed on monitor. I have tried 2 monitors so I dont think thats what it is. I have a new radeon 9550 that has worked very well for the lst 3 mos..I smell burning but can;t tell where it is comeing from. My hard drive has been acting up a little but nothing big. all fans spin up, hooked up to onboard video nothing chaanged , but I did notice that the HD dose not spin up and I can not open disc drives. the burning smell seems to be coming from power supply.

I'm on a Thinkpad T40 which I know should have USB2.0, yet any time I try to use my Flash Drive it says, "This device could perform faster... if you connected to a USB 2.0 port" which it should already be in.

If not, any ideas how to fix it? There was this little rubber piece that went under the key and it is long since missing.

I just bought a PCI video card of Trident. After I install it in my pc (window xp), it works fine; but after 5 mins, everything stops and the screen turns into blue and a long message comes out. I remember it shows "the file sgiul50 error"; "drive got stuck in an infinite loop. Problem with the device itself or with the device drive programming the hardware incorrectly. Check hardware device vendor for any driver updates. Beginning dump of physical memory. Physical memory dump complete."
When I restart the computer, the monitor shows nothing until I pull out the video card and plug the monitor back to the monitor board. What does the message mean? How can solve the problem??

I've looked into all 3 options and there's really no wrong choice here. The main problem I'm having is picking the processor, Intel or AMD.
