Hello,

I have a DELL desktop with windows XP on it. I was recently tried to install linux on it to make it a dual boot system and I somehow screwed up during the process. I then restored the mbr using Windows-XP backp CD and using the fixmbr command.

However, now if I try to boot the machine, I only get a DELL Diagnostics screen.

How do I boot up my Windows XP?

Well I was playing a game and all of a sudden my comp shut off and i smelled something burning. So I open up my comp and smell, it smelled like it was coming from the power source, so I went and got a diff power source and switched it, it still wouldnt turn on. So I tried a 3rd power source just in case...no go. I used the original power source on another PC, turned on. So I've ruled that out. Now, the motherboard light is not coming on(granted I cannot find it but I'm assuming if it came on it would be pretty noticable[manual is in the closet somewhere]). So now I'm wondering if its possible that its something other than my mobo, and if not, is it possible that my motherboard frying could have damaged other stuff(CPU, RAM, Graphics card...etc). I would like to know if theres a possibility before I start swapping out a hundred things to test.

Thanks, and dont give me elementary advice, dont waste your time. I build computers, I know what I'm doing. Please just comment on the last part

My computer all of a sudden just stopped recognizing my blank CD-Rs. It recognizes blank DVDs but not CDs. I've even tried different brands and nothing. CDs and DVDs that actually have information are fine but just not blank ones. I've done all the updates for the comp and my drivers and still the same thing. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Just curious. When I plug my headphones into the headphone jack on my front panel audio, I get a buzzy kind of static. Once something starts playing, it's not noticeable, but when it's silent, it's extremely irritating. Any ideas?

I have a Dell Latitude laptop computer, and the USB port is broken. I accidentally pulled a cord plugged into it, and now it's totally busted. Is there any way that I can replace it, or anywhere I can go to get it replaced?

Hi,
Im using my Dell Widescreen 24" Computer Monitor as a tv. I have a DVD Player and am running the composite from dvd right to the Monitor. The problem i have is that if the format is 4:3 it doesnt display in 4:3 and is off in the ratio. This cuts off some of the video and reuines it for me. It also does this to a certain extent in Widescreen DVD's too. So if anyone can help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Eddie

I recently bought a Sony Vaio notebook model Vgn-c240 and need to turn off the sound it makes when the notebook starts and the Vaio logo appears. It runs on Vista, I turned off Windows sounds and have the volume on mute but the sound from the Vaio logo still comes on when the notebook is turned on. I really need to turn it off. I have a small baby and if she is sleeping she wakes up from that sound. Thank you.

I upgraded to Windows Vista....and now I have no sound. I dont know what has happened. My computer is detecting my sound card. It also states that my sound device is working properly but I have no sound what so ever. I have tried WMP, Rhapsody, and Yahoo Music and I am not able to hear any of it.
