I have an ECS K7VTA3 (v2) mobo that is making a high pitched noise whenever there seems to be some kind of IO going on. Before you say mem, disk, fan, or power supply, let me just say that this is NOT the issue. It's almost that you can hear the CPU working, as it comes and goes with activity (scroll the screen, it squeaks). I have also reseated the CPU with new heat-goo because it seems that it is from the CPU itself. I also vacuumed everything out. There is a row of standup capacitors near the CPU. Is it possible that one of them is going bad and making a noise when used?

From a cold start (1st power of the day), it will sometimes lockup just after the POST, other times, the POST never even starts. Power cycle a few times, and will eventually boot to a normal and stable XP environment.

If it is a bad cap or other component on the mobo, and it eventually does blow, is there ANY risk of fire if I left the computer on 7x24?

I've looked around, and I can get a budget laptop for around £400 - one quote I've had puts the screen alone at £280 incl. VAT + fitting costs. I know that my laptop is a few years old, but it was working fine for me until I cracked the screen...

This is a computer i'm working on for a friend, he keeps getting an error a usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port, but no usb is hooked up. this is an emachine, and the hub is intigrated on the board. after a few minutes of getting this error the computer shuts off, and its been just acting really weird. I think it may be time for a new board, but I thought i'd get some other opinions.

This seems so hard. I dont want to play games or dowload movies or store millions of songs. I dont even need much memory since most of what I would save will be on my thumbdrive. All I want is something that can run basic Office programs like Word and Powerpoint and get wireless internet.

Is ebay really the best place? If so does anyone have any recommendations for what laptop companies to avoid?
