So let me explain my problem. I have a office with about 10 computer running off of one server. I have a network/shared printer that is connected not to the server but to one of the office terminals or computer. In the past there has been no problem. Recently one of the computers now has a problem using this network/shared printer. When it goes to print it restarts. Strange because when I try to access another shared printer in the office it doesn't restart. Only when it uses this printer. I might want to mention that this printer is a Epson Laser c900.

I thought that it might be a driver problem, but I have installed the driver and still the same problem. So I did some research on the Internet and they said it might be a USB/Hardware problem. So I did a system check removed all of the connected USB devices and still the same problem. So as a last resolution I changed the hard drive to another identical machine, but the same problem occurs. Is it a virus?

HELP!

I have a custom made computer with an AMD 2800+, 512 of ram, SATA hard drive, 6600 vid card, DVD burner, and every usb port is in use. I leave my PC running constantly. I recently replaced my power supply which the old one died in 7 months. My pc also reboots itself at least once a week without warning and when I go back into windows it says "this system has recovered from a serious error". Is this from a weak/hot power supply?

I want to buy a laptop for college and I'm not sure what I should do. Is it worth spending the extra money and getting a good laptop costing approx. $2000 that it could last the whole 4 years? Or do you think I should I save my money and get a cheap one for < $1000 so that I can replace it sooner with new technology.

I have a Dell 720 printer that came free with my computer. I only recently unpacked it and got it up and running. I'd prefer not to have to order new cartridges from Dell if I can help it. Is there another ink cartridge I can use so I don't have to order from Dell?

I'm a Mac user, just wanted to do a little poll. I want to know what's keeping people from switching to a Mac. Price is high? Not compatiable with other computers at school/work? Not sure if you'll know how to use it...etc? Keep in mind Macs now pack intel processors enabling you to boot up in Windows if you wanted to.
