Hardware - November 2006

Whenever I boot up my computer, it tells me that my Cashee Fan is running to slow. I was wondering if there was anyway to resolve this problem or how to fix it?

This is a new computer and I can't turn it off by going to start and turn off computer. I've tried pressing the power button on the tower but that just puts it into standby. Can't seem to understand whats wrong. Anyone out there who might be able to help??
Thanks a lot.

It used to work on this computer, but now it shows up as "unknown device". I don't know what to do to fix it. I've put it in different ports and rebooted the computer

When I put it in other computers (all windows XP) it shows up fine.

Please give a detailed explanation if you reply because I do not know anything about computers.

Ok Listen To My Sad Story. I am only 14 years old & am good with computers. So it was time for me to get a new pc. I thought why not build it. So I bought all the parts. I came home and putit all together. I hooked my newly built computer into the monitor and plug socket. WALA it worked. I jumped with happiness for this had been a goal. The next morning I awoke and went on my newly built computer. It powered on Again a shock of happiness went through me again. The the unpredictable happend my computer just shut off. I looked inside of it and everything looked great I looked at everthing and relised i had a fried CPU. My Parents were very nice about it and bought me a new cpu. Guess what when inserting the cpu in I bent 3 pins and broke 1. My parents were going to get me a new CPU AGain but I declined. I returned all the parts except the broken CPU's. But I don't want to give up. Do You think I should get together with a tech and try again with cheap parts (215 dollars total). Thanks

im interested in buying a liquid cooling system. I need to convince my father that it is quieter than a cpu fan and more efficient. I guess my question is, will it cool down my case along with my cpu with minimal noise? the liquid cooling system i'm searching is a Thermaltake Big Water SE from tigerdirect.com.

On my laptop, Windows XP Starts up, goes to the logon screen, and when i press OK to log on, my wallpaper loads, and it tells me that EXPLORER.EXE is missing. None of my programs or icons load, or the start bar. It just sits there with a mouse and my wallpaper. What can I do to resolve this problem. I think its a big one.

I just bought a used Latitude C500 with Windows XP Pro. I want to buy 256MB of ram to upgrade from the original 64MB of ram. Dell told me that I need SDRAM, and I confirmed this from this website:
http://www.edgetechcorp.com/store/productdetails.aspx?product_id=2215

The ram on the website that has guaranteed compatibility with my laptop. The ram is PC-100, and has 144 pins. I don't want to buy ram from the website because of the price, but when I go onto eBay or NewEgg, I need to know if I have to get PC-100 with 144 pins, or if I can get whatever as long as is 512MB or under?

I also checked Crucial's website. http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Latitude+C500+Series
The Crucial Site says I can use PC133, while the other site says I can use PC100. What is the difference, and does the number of pins matter?

Thanks!

I have an external hard drive that I have a bunch of data on but it has died and I REALLY need the data thatis on it. when you plug it in NOTHING happens, I have tried several diggerent external hard drive cases to see it it was just the connectors in the case but they all had the same result. If I put in a different hard drive into any of the cases it works fine so I am sure it is the hard drive....does anyone know of any data recovery places I could send it to to get my data back? OR does anyone know how to get the data off of the hard drive?
I have even tried putting the hard drive into the pc as a slave and it still would not work.
I have windows xp pro...no drivers are needed for this.
Thanks for the help!
