One of these drives will be for a Database (MySql) I intend to install. Can someone please guide me through this process? Thanks

When I turned the computer screen on, it had all these colorful lines dancing across the screen and it was making this long scretching noise (like when there is an error on your television set). What is wrong with my monitor?

It installed fine but there is a 1 inch black gap all around the outside of the screen? Any ideas on how to get it to go back so I can see the full screen?

I would like to buy a desktop (w/ monitor etc). At the moment I cannot afford anything above 600-700. But I like to get something that my nieces can use to play online games. But I mostly use to surf and instant message. How is buying a computer through the Dell Outlet is it recommended?? And how was the product etc?

Could it be that this isn't as a product as I think? Would external or internal drive be best?

Currently, my desktop PC, when in standby mode, can only be woken up by hitting the computer's power button. Is there a way to configure the computer to wake up out of standby by just pushing one keyboard button or by clicking the mouse?

Thanks.

Hiya,

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I shut my pc down fine one night, then the next morning when I turned it on nothing appeared on the screen, the (motherboard) fan made a dodgy noise and the pc shut itself off after 20 seconds or so.

I thought maybe it was overheating, so I've opened it up and got rid of the dust and have also tried running the PC with the box open and a big ol' fan blowing in, but it still doesn't work.

Any ideas? I miss my computer :o(

there is a lot here so please read it all.
i have integrated sound on my computer and when i play music for more than 30-40min it starts to gets louder for a sec than goes back to normal it does this about every 5 sec.the computer is over 7 years old.i had to put a video card in because i was getting lines in the screen and it stop so i was wondering is i need a sound card and if i get one will it stop doing that?i know its not the PSU because i had it tested and it is stable plus the PSU is only a week old.the speakers are good i tried another set of speakers to see if that was it and it still did the same. the hard drive i have most of my music on is good and it does the same on the MASTER drive so its not the HDD. could it just be my mobo failing.

I can plug my Dell laptop in and the light just keeps blinking showing it is charging but the battery never charges up. It just sticks at 0% charged.

Seriously, my CPU has this terrible smell that randomly comes from it every day. Someone in the office says it smells like a dead mouse. Is it electrical or can a rodent find its way into the unit?
