ive recently had a motherboard problem, and a corrupt harddrive. the harddrive is fine, but hte mobo needs to be replaced. i have a great computer, e6300, and 1900gt, 2 gigs of ram. but a not so good power supply, its 450 watts, which is enough, but its a cheap psu that came with my case. is it possible that having a weak or cheap powersupply can harm the other parts in my computer? how will i know if it needs to be replaced? thanks

another and it's very handy but sometimes I get a message that the device cannot be stopped and safely removed now and to try again later. This is very bad when I need to get a file moved on a deadline. Once I just yanked the thing out and ran it over to the other computer. It worked fine but I got a nasty message on my first computer that I could suffer serious consequences for my inconsiderate behaviour. (In computer talk, of course.) So what is going on? Why cannot the thing be stopped? It doesn't look like it possesses a lot fo moving parts. It's only about as big as a car key. Why is it a big deal to unplug it. And what consequences might my computer suffer for premature withdrawal?

Lately my monitor has been doing some odd things. The screen keeps going dark, with rainbow like patterns coming from the two bottom corners. Sometimes the image on the screen seems to be dragging down, that the only way I can explain it. It looks like it's being pulled down from the bottom and my taskbar disappears.

I have a compaq computer and when I asked them about this they told me that it was either the monitor or the "graphics card????" (something like that). Can anyone help me with this?
Once out of frustration my sister hit the monitor, and it started working properly.

I recently formatted a PC Hard Drive as I am going to install UBUNTU OS, however I cannot get the graphics card to work the monitor since the format and so cannot see anything to start the OS installation.
I have 3 Graphics card and I have tried each of them but none manage a signal through to the Monitor.
So basically I can't see what is happenning.
The monitor works fine on another PC as do all 3 Graphics cards.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction at least.

so i'll explain first i know the hard drive worked fine an hour ago, i use two different hard drives and i had the spare in because it has itunes on it. well i switched the hard drives back and left the ipod plugged in and i think that might be what caused the issue. so no when i try to boot the hard drive ipod connected or not it tells me hard disk error press ctrl alt dlt whioch does nothing but try to reboot again and same problem. i even tried hooking it up as the slave and the spare as the master and it did the same thing. well it has my important files on it so i turned the comp on with just the spare hard drive waited till it booted and the hooked the bad one as a slave then manually detected new hard ware and it showed up and i could acces the files on it so i think what is wrong is what ever tells the os to boot or something im not really sure. now i guess my question is, is their a way to fix this without reformatting and reinstalling windows???? any help?

I have a desktop computer connected to my D-Link wireless router with cable. I have a printer connected to that computer. I have a laptop connected wirelessly, to the router and it is able to use the printer. I have a new laptop that uses the same wireless connection and it works fine, but I can't hook up to the printer. It doesn't even know the network exists. I need some help to get my printer connection up.

my computer restarts after some time. I've used Grisoft, Avast, AVG and MacAffee to check for viruses. Found some high risked files and deleted them all, but still restarts. Next, I used certain programs to check for rootkits. Still didn't fix the problem. Do you think it is still a virus problem or a hardware problem? What should I check to troubleshoot and fix the problem(i.e. heatsink, cpu speed/temp, mem, etc.)?

I have a COMPAQ U600 and I have been to about 5 stores today, where I usually get my ink cartridges but for some reason everyone was out of the one i needed. I have a lexmark 50 black ink cartridge in right now, are there any other cartridges (black ink only) that I can get to use for my printer?

Not for gaming, but for applications. I want all my applications (non-game) and windows to run super-fast.

Is there a difference between RAM for gamers/PC enthusiasts, and RAM for regular applications?

Someone told me that with the newer Dell Computer keyboards you can clean them in your dishwasher as long as you let them dry out completely before using them again. If this isn't true then how would I clean sticky juice off of my keyboard? It's inside the keyboard making some of the keys stick.
