Two times now, I've returned to my office to see my computer sitting at the boot screen telling me that I've inserted an invalid system disk (or that nvldr is missing if there's no disk in the drive). Last time this happened I eventually figured out that the bios had somehow changed the boot order of my hard drives and switching them back solved the problem. Only for it to happen again.

It's only happening when I'm not using the PC (downloads and email still running).

I've got an AMD 3200+ withd 2gb of ram (DDR400) and an Asus 6600GT. I've just added 1gb of ram, but I matched the manufacturer, speed, size and everything else, and it seems unlikely to be causing the problem.

Any thoughts?

Hi there. I've got an RZ44G desktop vaio and it has the RCA Jacks in the front and back.

I know they can be used to record things from VHS tapes onto the hard drive, but can they be used for anything else? I have a mixer I'd like to hook up to the computer in order to use a microphone for making music, but I'm not sure if the RCA jacks can be used for anything else.

My mixer doesn't have any usb input, but it does have a tape out with two RCA jacks. I want to use this for podcasts and such, either through the front or back rca jacks.

Are the jacks in the front of the computer also part of the sound card?

I have all the jumpers in the correct places and can find the drive in the device manager. When I troubleshoot it says that the device is working properly but it won't show up in "my computer." What is wrong??

I just purchased a Netgear wireless router yesterday and I just found out today that its refurbished. I'm worried that it might be a broken piece of junk, and I was wondering if anyone has ever purchased a refurbished router. I've seen the ratings for it on multiple websites and they're all pretty good, but it might be useless if it is defective.

When I turned it on this morning it started to make this strange noise like if it wanted to explode. This has happened in a few occasions but is when I turn on the air conditioner all night. I wonder if the cold temperature affects the computer.
