I'm incredibly stupid of a lot of things, and I'm getting really p'd. o. Every single day, it's the same BS, over and over. Everyone gives me a site to try, but once I'm there, I just don't understand any of it. I'm just too f***ng dumb to get any of it.

I added a wireless card to the computer and vacuumed a little very carefully. When I put it back together, nothing happens when I pus the power button - no fan, no lights - nothing. The computer is completely stock, with the bestec atx-250-12z power supply. There is a green light on the back of the power supply that is blinking. When i disconnect all drive power cables, the light continues to blink, and when I disconnect the 4-pin power cable to the mobo it still blinks. Disconnecting the 20-pin cable to the mobo allows the light to glow continuously. My question is, what is broken? Power Supply or motherboard. I tested the front panel power switch and it is OK.

I'm tired of antiviruses claiming to remove viruses with free scanning. They're more like scammers. The scanning is free, but not for the removing.

Anyone knows the way of doing this?

Is it true that if you don't overclock it, you don't need a cpu cooler?

If you do overclock, which motherboard and cpu cooler do you recommend, for complete silence.


Thanks!

I have a dell inspiron 1100 laptop and on the bottom of it are three lights, the last one for battery charging now blinks uncontrollably in this order: orange 3 times then green once and it keeps repeating like that even though the battery is fully charged

p.s. this problem started when the waring: low battery power sign came up cause i had less than 10% batt. power, so i plug it back in and same thing...even if i reboot, take/put back in the battery it doesnt stop that...it doesnt affect anything, but it isn't normal so please help....thank you.

I was given a Sony Vaio PCG-731 and want to use it only for the internet and some Mircosoft Works documents. It has a 10GB hard drive, two 64MB sticks, a wireless card, and a Symantec Antivirus program.

I have a couple questions:

A) I want to know how to see how much free memory I have available so I can clear out some unnecessary stuff.

B) I seem to get these pop-up adds telling me my computer 'may' be infected and to purchase these kits to clean out any virus I might have. How do I get this to stop? When I log onto the internet these adds pop-up before my home page does. I updated my Symantec add ran a scan on my entire computer and it found and quarintined a virus/bug. But I still have problems with the adds and pop-ups. Plus my internet seems like it is slower then when I first got it. Any ideas???

C) What extra things can I do to make the internet a little bit faster (would a bigger hard drive help, is it worth it)???

Thanks for any feed back, I appreciate it.

Ok I recently bought a new Dell laptop that has been working great for me, but my old Toshiba Satellite has been out of use obviously for a long time.

When I was using the Toshiba as my sole computer, it was old, a '99 but it didn't crash and always turned on with my A/C adapter(the battery was dead so I can't use it). Now that it has been dormant for about 4 months, I plugged it back in, in order to transfer some info from my old to my new, but now the adapter just won't start up at all.

Why is this? I haven't dropped it, it was fine.

Any tips?

I am building a computer and got a new motherboard and Core 2 Duo processor bundle. I also got a 550W power supply. The power supply has a 20-pin connector and a 4-pin connector (like every other power supply I have found). The motherboard apparently requires a 24-pin connector and a 4-pin connector. Does this mean my power supply is not compatible? And if it's not, where can I find one with 24 + 4 pins? Or is there some kind of adapter I can buy?
