Hardware - January 2007

My PC used to restart when tap the motherboard, so I replaced it (Asus P5W DH Deluxe, working fine now). I also checked the case's restart cord and nothing is wrong with it. Does anyone have any suggestion? Can it be the power supply? I bought a really cheap power supply, $23 from newegg.com.
My PC is a Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz, 2 x 1gb Cosair XMS, Gigabyte GeForce 7900GT

im trying to choose between these

-HP Pavilion dv2000t -- i like it because the price is very decent and it already has a built in camera and mic (its also less than the macpro)

-Dell Inspiron E1505- i like it because of centrino.

-MacBook 1.83Ghz

so which one do u guys recomend out of the three?

I accidently kicked my CD-ROM drive when it was open, now it's broke and won't close. Anyone know how I can fix this without taking it to someone? I would like to fix it at home because I don't have a warranty anymore. Please Help!

My friend has an Hp Pavillion dv4000 notebook with 60 gig hard drive, 512 mb RAM and Intel Pentium 1.7 Ghz processor and Intel Centrino mobile technology. He has Windows XP Home Edition 2002 service pack 2. He desperately needs to upgrade. I told him to get more RAM and Hard Drive.

I've just purchased my new Dell not quite a month ago and it's been freezing up when I try it perform funcions on the web? What could be the problem. I hate to have to call tech support b/c I'll probably talk to someone in India and be on the phone for hours. If someone could help? I should have plenty memory, because I bought on set up for a music business. Thanks

Ok, so I had a 10GB HD as master with Windows XP on it and a 160GB HD as slave with all my stuff(Documents, Video, Games, etc..)

What I tried doing(which I had done with my previous system) is to leave the Slave, and change the Master. I replaced it with a 40GB Master and that one had no OS on it, so on that 40GB I installed XP from an installation disk I had. Afterwards...I expected it to be like before...Everything's new and all my stuff is saved, I just have to redirect "My Documents" to my former D: drive(Slave).

BUT NO!!! I get a little message saying that it needs to be Formatted and that everything on it will be erased!!

That didn't happen before and I did the exact same thing!!

I'm assuming that all my files are still there and I just can't reach them...

Is there a way to save all my files?? Maybe some Tweaking in BIOS???

I don't want to go to those HardDrive Repair People because all of them charge ALOT!!!


SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

I want to connect my PC from it's DVI-I output to my LCD TV through it's HDMI input. My google search for a cable that would allow me to do this brought no clear answers. Can anyone please tell me exactly which cable and/or adapter I need? Also, if you could link me to these parts and where I can buy them, I'd be very greatful.

Will the picture quality in this setup be better than if I used a VGA to VGA cable? Will my 6600GT be able to output video onto my monitor and TV at the same time?

Is it the end of the road for Celeron? Which processors will win the race? Is 128 bit processing viable, needed or desirable and by when? Will 64 bit machines make 32's obsolete as quickly as the 32's made the old 16's in '95? How long will it be practical to run and economic to repair & upgrade 32 bit machines?
