I have a Westell 327W modem/router from Verizon, which I received with my DSL setup. As often as once every two days I need to shut it off and then back on again. Is this a 'normal' event to have to reset this thing this often?? Is there something else that I could be doing??

I have a Lexmark Z615 into which I recently installed the relevant cartridges. Despite not having had them very long they appear to be empty although the readout on the screen still says they are almost full. Any help appreciated.

We have a new tall dell rack with about 10 servers going in it today. Would it be easier for me (as far as wire management) to completely install one server with all the wires first, or else I was thinking to put all the servers in with NO wiring.. .and save all the wiring for last? What do you think?

Regarding laptop

My PC's an Acer Veriton 2800. The last I used it, there was crackling sound at the back of the casing, then the monitor and all lights went off. I switched off the main switch, turn it on and that tripped off the house's main circuit breaker. Power supply to my bedrooms were cut off. I changed the power cord of the PC, still the same, the PC won't turn on now. To my best of my technical knowledge, this has to be the PSU's fuse is blown - but by a single loose power cord ? Or maybe there are other reasons to this ?

My motherboard blew and it cost me £100 to have it replaced, including a new graphics card. The technician ensured me it was due to a power surge, but what baffles me is that I have 2 PCs connected to the same outlet. The other one is OK Could this be the decider tho.....The PC had 19 days left on its 12 month warranty.

I'm taking an A+ certification class and I'd like the best sources for details on processors, memory, chipsets, motherboards etc. I need specs not just marketing mumbo jumbo. It would also be cool to find info on old parts like AT motherboards.

I upgraded my VGA card from Sparkle 32mb to AXLE FX5500 128mb card with my AMD Athlon 800Mhz CPU and Windows XP operating system. Upon installation, there was a window advising incompatibility and asked if to continue anyway. When I proceeded, while playing games requiring 128mb VGA card, the display image is blinking.

my flash drive no longer works. It is recognized by my computer. I am running win2k, and when i go to system>hardware>device manager, i can't get a directory listing. Any ideas? When i unplug the device, i get a message saying that the device was unsafely unplugged..."

Anyone ever have anything happen like this? Should i toss it, or try a different approach to getting it working again?
