When I press the power button the power supply light and fan come on for a slipt second, and so does the cpu fan...but thats it..after that nothing. I had the power supply check and they said it was good. So maybe the motherboard? How can I know for sure before I go buying new parts...and without spending a ton on diagnotics at the computer store? Thanks for your help!

I need to get an external hard drive for my laptop as Ive almost filled it up & I cant decide should I go for the Seagate 300gb with push button back up (as in easy)& USB Plus firewire (but is a yucky cream colour same as my modem) or shall I go for the LaCie 320gb USB only but silver so it matches my laptop & is designed by porshe? Price is similar so not the issue.

I have Windows XP installed, but not so sure it was a good installation my PC rebooted a couple of times half way thru the installation. Somehow, the machine is able to boot to C drive. However, I would like to do a fresh installation and I can't seem to boot from the installation disc off the CD rom.
I have configured the bios to boot with priority to CD rom and in fact was prompted to hit any key to start from CDrom. However, it still boots from the C drive.

I have a KDS LCD monitor that goes black with a click 2 seconds after power on. I have hooked the thing up to three different sources with the same result. It doesn't power off, just goes black. It seems independant of any graphics controller problem, always Displays a screen image (source dependant) clearly before crashing, and the behavior can be repeated by powering the monitor off then on again. Backlights, displays, then fails. I dont see a reset button or pinhole on the thing such as might restore some memory setting. The monitor has been burned in for three months and operated without fail during that time. I hesitate to blame the power supply or inverter since it does power up and display - for a second or two, just like clockwork. It repeats this behavior when conected to different systems using different graphics cards and Op systems. Sound familiar to anyone?

P.S. It has a virus and it's driving me crazy.
