I replaced the Bio batery, The power light will come on, the fans will run for 5 seconds and then shut off. When I remove. the power from the hard drive I can get the computer to start up. I turn it off, and then I plug the hard drive back in and I can get it to start up and run and work and everything. If I shut it off and then come back later and try to turn it on the computer will not start up even though the power light comes on and the fans run for 5 seconds and then shut off. Any suggestions of other trouble shooting I can try? I replaced the fans and I used the caned air to blow out the dust. Please help. It is the kids computer and they are upset.

I am replacing my slave hard drive with a larger slave drive, but my computer is not detecting the new drive. I have ruled out jumpers, so where do I go from there?

Same thing was happening with my old PC, so i bought a new one.
It was fine for 3-4 months and now it's happening on this one too. I tried everything, system restore, complete virus scan with updated anti-virus, defrag, disk cleaner etc. Doesn't help.

Microsoft error reporting says "an unknown device driver" can be causing this, how can I solve this ?

Should I just completely re-format the hard-drive, my imp stuff is backed up on a firewire drive. If , so how should I go about this ?

When playing Medal of Honor Allied Assault, and Counter Strike Source, my comp will shut off in the middle of gameplay. All fans are working properly, and I took the side panel off of the comp for more ventilation. The comp was sitting on the carpet so i put it on top of some books. Is there a certain distance from the carpet that the comp needs to be? All drivers are updated. Also, if the auto shutdown due to temp is enabled should i turn it off?

Alright, the family computer has been around for years, and so has this problem. Someone can be using the computer for hours, using the internet, not using the internet, playing spider solitaire, whatever and the computer will just randomly shut down. There's no saving, no warning, just gone. If the computer is turned back on immediately after one of these random shut downs the computer will boot back up and log in to Windows and everything will be just fine, but the computer will shut down again in maybe 10-15 minutes, if not less. If the computer is left over night it may stay on for several hours or it may shut down again in half an hour. The inconsistency is annoying. I have scanned the computer for viruses numerous times but have come clean. I'm thinking this is a hardware issue, but I have no idea where to start to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

right now the only way I can access the internet or anything on my pc is by ctrl alt delete and bring up the task manager.I have been trying to do a repair installation for windows, but I get to a certain point and it asks me for my administrator password.I set up the pc and never put in a password and there is no way for me to access my control panel to get into the admin section. I have printed off several pages from various sites with step by step instructions on how to do this but none of them even address this issue. HELPPP
