I just installed a brand new socket 478 3 GHz 800Mhz FSB CPU in my computer and I'm having problems. When I turn the computer on, all the hardware kicks on but the monitor stays off and I don't get a beep or POST results. Everything is plugged in and the heatsink is situated nicely over the CPU and the CPU is in correctly. I installed a new video card but it did this with the old one too. Any tips?

I've read a lot of reviews, etc. regarding virtual-keyboards; they sound really cool and was interested in purchasing one for my Dell PC. I have no idea what "Bluetooth" is, and do I need that in order to run a virtual keyoard? I'm running w/WindowsXP right now and don't have any Bluetooth-connections that I'm aware of. What do I need in order to run this?

Thanks a lot!

We have a Dell 1600N multifunctional printer that has a fax machine function as well. Today it has started printing multiple copies of each faxed page that it received. It started out printing 4 or 5 copies and now is stuck on one page and I am up to about 30 copies so far and have had to just open a door on the printer to stall the printer from working. I have tried clearing and resetting, that didn't work. I have unplugged it and plugged it back in, that didn't work. Is there anything I can do? I can't get any of the subsequent faxes because it is stuck on that one page.....HELP

I want to get a pci express (x16 or regular) graphics card, preferably no more than $60. I would use it for some gaming and 3D rendering (I use Blender3D), plus I am getting Windows Vista soon.

I was thinking maybe this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2512228&CatId=1558

I just want a basic graphics card with good pixel shader support (right now i am running an intel integrated).

I am a greenhorn where computers and printers are concerned-I've often tried to print a page with info from a help page to study it , and sometimes the right half of the page is missing - other times it prints only the first few paragraphs, other times it prints the whole darn thing. How do I get it to print exactly what I want it to print? Is there some secret I don't know about. I've wasted more ink trying over and over for the whole page and all I get is half of it?

i have wiped the hard drive many times using recovery disks, at first it is really fast but as i install more basic programs it slows down and the start up takes about 15-20mins and sometimes just switches itself off. it is an acer aspire 1360 notebook and is running service pack 2. I took it to a local repair shop but they dont even kow what is wrong with it, he tried different memory, he tried and different hard drive but it still does not wokr.
Any ideas, i ersonnally think it is something deep in the system.
Thanks

I bought an HP pavillion laptop in the US in February 2007 and have returned it to the UK. I checked before I paid for it that the warranty would cover me in the uk and the shop advised me that it would.

Since I then, my power jack has developed a fault and needs wiggling to connect to the power. The cable is fine.

I contacted HP UK and they have said that the warranty is only for software (this is contradicted in the warranty paperwork) and that I would need to arrange for it to be shipped to the US.

The exact model number is only sold in the states but the basic model is sold in the UK so a basic part such as the power jack would be available. The warranty states it is valid in any country that has support (which the uk has) and that sold the product.

Do you agree that HP should fix it as it is clearly a manufacturing fault?

Has anyone else had this problem?

Do you think HP should honour this warranty?

Is 10+ ghz even theoretically possible with a freezing cooler? I would think that there would be a much lower threshold because of other limiting factors if heat was removed from the equation, but my friend insists it is possible to reach 12ghz with a current, commercially available CPU.

Hi, I just bought a notebook HP Pavillion 17" Serie 9000. It comes with a an AMD Turion 64x2 TL-52 dual core processor. However, checking the HP web page, it seems like this TL-52 does not exist. Is this a mobile processor? Is it new or old? Is it better than the TL-50. Why then HP only offers TL-50 or TL-56 then? I am freacking out, and HP doesn not give me answers? Should i return this computer?

Hi guys, just a little question I wanna ask and perhaps its pretty silly one, anyways, the question is that Can I leave my deskjet printer ON all the time as I have 2 printers, 1 is Epson Photo R200 and other is Brother BJC210C. The only thing I am worried that by leaving them ON all the time, wouldn't the INK will dry out quickly as deskjets inks dries quickly if you don't use it. Thanks in advance.

I turned my pc off the other day and it gave me and error while shutting down. I didn't think anything of it. Usually some program is still on and its telling me its going to end now. I went to try and use my pc a few hours later and when I tried to turn it back on it loaded almost all the way up then a msg would appear saying "preparing to stand by" and it would turn it self back "off" only to try and restart it self. It kept doing that all night. Eventually I unplugged it because it was driving me nuts and this way the battery would die and it would stop doing it. I plugged it in to recharge it and now it won't turn back on.

Any ideas what could be wrong?? I need my laptop for work. It's an older Compaq.

Ok I have a gateway GT5040
I installed an...ati x1600pro gfx card which says 350 watts or more *recomended* but it works ok & play's games well.
but my power supply is 300 watts. #1 is that ok? ps. I've had it for almost a yr and it still works fine.

Well any way my main question is I want to get a Nvidia 7950gt oc to replace the ati one. Well that too says 350 watts.
Soo...#2Would it make it any worse to put that card in instead of my other one?

And lastly...#3 Could maybe someone who knows what there doin see the specs of the x1600pro & 7950gt...and make sure that they both would be ok in my Computer? THX A billion
