I have a pc with a 420w PSU and 4 hard disks (2 SATA raid 0 and 2 maste/slave IDE) plus I have a DVD-RW on IDE2.
The question is can I install one more disk or will I fry the PSU/Disks ????
The rest of the system is not that power hungry, namely it is an AMD Sempron 2600+ system with an NVidia 5200 GPU.

I have a plasma TV that a friend recently gave to me. When I plug it in to my laptop, I get picture on the TV until the Windows Login screen. I've tried to change the display settings, but they always revert back to the default settings for my laptop monitor when I click 'apply' or 'ok'. It seems to work fine when I startup in Safe Mode, though safe mode doesn't allow me to play games, watch DVDs, or play music. I think it may be an issue with my GeForce 7900 graphics card. If anyone can help, I would appriciate it greatly. Don't let this 42" TV go to waste!

can you go on a macbook then use windows then switch back to mac again without deleting anything or restoring or restarting the mac? or once do you choose it when you're setting up your mac you can't change?

This has been going on for a while, but whenever my computer gets on an internet connection other than the one at my parent's house, like one at school or at a cafe, it will constantly disconnect and reconnect, so my browsing constantly hiccuping. Even when everyone else in the room gets internet fine. The signal bars also never reach above two, even when the signal is full bars on other computers.

We have tried many different wireless cards and it happens the same with all of them, so it's probably something in my computer. It's really frustrating and I've had several different people look at it to no avail.

The card right now is a 2wire and so is the network at my parent's house and the computer runs Windows XP.

I'd really like a simple solution to this if possible! The other option another person gave me was to reformat the hard drive, but I'd rather not do that. Thanks!
