Yesterday when i was playing FIFA 06 on my PC and it randomly crashed so i restarted then my screen randomly turned off. Now whenever i reboot it clicks once to turn on then another time to turn itself off. I've changed the fuse and the plug to a working one but still nothing?

My Dell Inspiron 5000 restarts itself during the blue Dell boot up screen. It switches itself off and starts up again in a repeating cycle.

No hardware/software has been added to the laptop prior to this problem.

I have also tried starting it without the battery (just in case) but the problem still happens.

Anybody had similar problems, any solutions?

The burner recognizes Roxio Drag to Drop but not Creator Classic. The software that came with the burner is Nero.

I haven't kept myself up to date with the hardware scene lately. Why is it that Intel Dual Core processors (like the 805D) are so much cheaper than those from AMD. Also, why is it that AMD processors often have a smaller L2 cache?

I recently added a new hard drive (as a slave drive) for extra memory. but the video files i have on the new hard drive skip and is kinda choppy the first time you play the video. i was told to try to update the driver for my motherboard but i dont know who manufactured it.

My video card only has one mode for 2048x1536, and that is 60Hz. I would think it would work, but I want to make sure because #1 I know that setting stuff like that (with video cards and monitors) the wrong way can damage hardware. And #2, my video card's software (It's a Nvidia Geforce4 MX) detects that my monitor doesn't support the mode. But I think it might be because it's not a "preset mode" on the monitor. See specs below.

Video Card Spec
2048x1536 resolution at 60MHz

Monitor Spec
Highest preset resolution 1600 x 1200 at 85 Hz
Highest addressable resolution* 2048 x 1536 at 80 Hz
Additional Details



(I posted a question like this just alittle bit ago, but the spec was wrong about the video card refresh rate. The only thing I can think of is because it's an 8x AGP but its running at 4x because thats what my MoBo is.)

Okay. My laptop overheated and fried. So I can't turn it on anymore. I don't plan on fixing it, but I would like the files on my laptop's HDD. How can I transfer over the files to my PC?

What would I have to do?

I'm trying to help a neighboor fix her computer. Here's the scoop: After she removed a RAM module that she was returning to a friend it stopped working. Here's what I observed: When I power on, there's no signal going to the monitor (checked monitor cable, and yellow standby light on monitor - these were fine, also monitor works fine on another PC). There is power going to the board (green light, fan and HD motor working) but no BIOS beeps to signal any possible failure. There are two RAM slots with a 256Mb SDRAM DIMM remaining which I tried in both slots just to be sure. I was thinking possible video card failure, however assume that BIOS would signal this. Maybe possible BIOS failure? Any suggestions or feedback?
