I have a CPU which is manufactured by Emachine and it just stopped working. Its only about 3 years old. I checked the power source and that's fine so its gotta be the CPU. I just don't understand why it stopped working. I was using it all day yesterday and then my computer just shut off and will not turn back on. Everything else is fine - monitor and speakers. Its just the CPU that isn't working. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I have never had any other problems with this computer.

The PC uses an Intel 82865G graphics controller. The problem is that the controller shows avlbl modes as 1920x1200 (75 Hz) but monitor supports only 60 Hz. What to do? My friend uses the same monitor on the same graphics controller but on an IBM machine without any problem.

I have set hibernation mode (after 5 minutes) on my XP pro sp2 o/s. I need to switch off the main power line because of thunderstroms. Therefore I have to wait for 5 minutes doing nothing than just wait for it to auto-hibernate. Is there any advanced settings that as soon as I finish my work, I click on a button & my XP start hibernation immediately ? I cant reset the hibernation time less than 5 minutes, as its too short.

I have used a computer for a long time, and recently upgraded to a newer one. The CD-ROM drive was working perfectly when i stopped using it, but now, when i tried to set it up again, it doesnt work. I tried finding the driver, but no luck. I found cdrom.inf, but when i try to use it it doesn't work. Nothing seems to help. I am using Windows XP Home, and I have a Creative 52x CD-ROM drive. Please Help!
