I was on my PC and it just went dead. I have an HP Pavilion not more than 3 years old. There is a small green light on the back of the PC that is flashing, but when I press the power button nothing happens.

There was a thunder and lightning storm in my area when I was using the PC. I have the PC and all other equipment plugged into a surge protector. Everything else that is plugged into the surge protector is working but the PC is not. I unplugged the PC from the surge protector and plugged it directly into the wall outlet but it still doesn't work.
What is that little green flashing light in the back?
Is there anything I can do to get my PC running again?

Please help.

My pc always overheats whenever I play video games. But, it doesn't overheat when I play games in the early morning, night or when it rains. Weird huh.!?? Do I have to change any settings on my pc or install a new software?

I've been to the Zalman website, but my searching isn't so smart,. plus they have so many products it's like looking for a needle in a haystack; finding me the right one gets you a nice big fat 10 points :)
Remember, it's an Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard, and a Zalman flower cooler I want to fit it. Thankyou! :)

My harddrive is almost full. I've tried everything: From deleting old files to using the "Free up space on my harddrive" button in Control Panel, but all it does is clean up a few megabytes. I want to clear up Gigabytes. I only have about 2GBs left.

My acer laptop is making a terrible noise through the sound. I have disconnected the speakers but this noise still comes through head phones. Can I disable this sound on the motherboard and run a usb sound device to give me normal sound - if so, what are the steps to doing this.

I had a comptuer that died.. I then got a new computer and added the old harddrive as an axillliary drive. Now, on the this old harddrive there were multiple users and one of them was password protected.. and when I tried to access the password protected user files it said access denied.. and there was no way to put in a password. So I got this software that allowed me to copy those protected files.. but now I want to delete those old files without reformatting the entire disk.. is there any way to do this?

I have no idea why my hard drive is running hot.

My CPU isn't running hot, but my hard drive is.

For what it is worth (maybe it is part of the problem) I have a SATA drive, I had to turn whatever it does off in the BIOS so I could install windows, and I can't start up my computer with it on without getting a BSOD so I don't know if that is the problem. My hard drive is running @ 59 Celcius, it is very hot on my lap. thanks.

I have been using a Mac at work which has 89 hertz refresh rate...it is a delight on the eyes...This is an old Mac. I am about to buy a computer and would like to match this but don't even know where to start...it seems as if no new models allow for adjusting the refresh rate. Do any of you know how this can be done or what is the best way to get a computer that is adjusted for sensitive eyes?

My aunt wants to convert old photos to digital by taking a picture of them with her digital camera instead of by scanning them. I have tried to convince her that you lose the quality of the photo, but she refused to listen. To get through to her, I need to find information I can forward to her (i.e. third party validation) for her to believe me. Does anyone know where I can direct her (website/book/article) to show that she should scan all the family photos?

My computer system information says that I have a Total Physical Memory of 261,424 KB, Available Physical Memory of 61,604 KB, and Total Virtual Memory of 892,412 KB. What does this mean? I was under the impression that I need at least 256 MB of RAM to run Windows XP (I have the program) and I presently have Windows 2000. Can anyone enlighten me?

The wallpaper doesnt go straight accross it just clones the wallpaper on each monitor as if they were both their own desktop.

Hi,

I'm a new member of this exciting site. Here follows my first question. I wish everyone the best of luck and success.

Most motherboards come with an on board video capabilities. Under what circumstances do I need to add an external video card ?

To be more specific, If I purchase a motherboard that uses the G33 Intel Chipset (comes with graphics accelerator) such as the ASUS P5K-V, what would I need an additional Video card for ? What capabilities does it add to functionality ?

Thanks,

Steve
