I had put the drivers CD in. It was testing the graphics and then all of a sudden the monitor shut off and now I can't get the computer to come back up, and I can't get the CD out. The monitor works on my other computer. What happened?

When I put any disk into it, the disk spins, the orange light goes on for about a minute then it goes off but nothing happens.

And just now when I checked, the drives have changed names.

My cd and dvd drives used to be E: and F:
But now they are D: and E:

Recently when I rebooted, the pc asked me to select from an empty drop down list which drive was my dvd burner.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Last night, I was on the internet, and all of a sudden, the computer restarted on its own. I don't think it was a power flick, because the TV was on as well, and it didn't even flicker, plus the VCR stayed running as well. I also got the screen on startup saying the computer did not shut down correctly and is scanning the hard disk for errors. I think it may be a hardware issue, as something of this nature has happened before, but not in a while. Any help?

I have a HP Pavilion Computer.

I have cable TV and also as satellite so I need two tuners to operate both of them.

Can I buy one without the FM radio feature? Or should I buy the same card that I already have in my computer (not sure which one I have yet, I have not looked).

And how does the 2nd tuner interact with Media Center? Or in other words how do you tell Media Center wich tuner to use? Or is it automatic?

Is it easy to install? Can I do it myself?

I have windows xp on a gateway computer. Usually the C drive is all I work on. the D drive stores system restore files.

Recently the computer crashed and wouldn't reboot except in safe mode. When I checked disk it said both c and d were ok. When I tried to defrag, I saw the D drive was completely full and all red. I don't know what is in there! it is maxed! I went and clicked on clean D disk, and clicked on "delete all but the last system restore point." THen I turned OFF system restore, as a last ditch effort to defrag or clean up D. Nothing. It is still full, and red. I ran my antivirus (zone alarm pro) on both c and d. Found nothing. I ran adaware. Found nothing. I have a system recovery disk which I've never used. Would that do the trick? I am scared I've lost my computer. I am on another computer now but I am afraid I am going to lose my connection as the router is hooked to the other one and its going crazy.

Any ideas? someone help please.

Neither item has a transformer, just a plug for which I can get a 3 prong adapter easily. To get a proper power converter is expensive. Also, cos of the PAL/NTSC conflict will a Japanese DVD player work in the UK anyway? I know already that it plays UK DVDs.
