I replaced a Dell Optiplex 4600 Powersupply and it only the cpu fan came on. I found it was not the correct power supply for the unit. I have found the proper replacement and wondered if theres a significant probability that the first non-Dell power supply damaged anything. Should I order the proper power supply and if i do will the system be ok?

even after i reformat my comp 2 times, it still happens, does having two different RAM cards installed have anything to do with it? becuz that it when the problem first started, or could there be something else that is causing it? (i'm positive it's not caused by virus)

In dual-core processors like pentium d, does it use additional wirings to do multitasking or bluetooth?

In hyper-threading technology, how does the screen displays all demanding applications concurrently when they are being used?

I changed the power supply from 250 watt to 500 watts, but after I changed it, only the light that powers the fan comes on and the light that tells me the pc is booting up doesn't come on at all like it usually does. The new power supply had a 12v connector, and the last one didn't. The motherboard had a socket that fit perfectly with the 12v connector, but I think when I connected it, it might have caused a motherboard short circuit. Would this be the cause? Is there any way to repair it now? if that socket wasn't for the 12v connector, what would it be for then? sorry if this is alot of questions and thanks for any helpful advice.

I bought a Mac Mini. It is really great in all senses. I bought a webcam, a Genius that comes with drivers for Mac. But the quality is terrible and no program can work with it... so it is unuseful. I found some tricks to make it work with Skype 2 Beta for MAc (with video) works but the video quality is really bad.
Here I have my experience: http://tips4uall.blogspot.com/2006/09/video-chats-with-your-mac.html
But I would really like to know if someone found better solution for it.
Thanks in advance!

I was given a laptop from a friend. For some reason I dont know whether it is a virus or not but when I turn on my computer its turns on fine but when windows come up all of a sudden I get an error message saying that windows cannot pull up. then all of a sudden my screen turns blank. Is it a virus or is there a software I can use to solve my problem.
