Hardware - June 2007

I have just built a PC, and when I attempt to turn it on the fans and lights come on for a split second and immediately turn back off. I have attached the HD, DVD drive, all the fans and lights. I have the MOBO LED on. I checked the BIOS jumper and all my connections. Thought it was the power supply so I go a new one and the same thing still happens. I haven't put the video card in yet would that matter?

I installed a new PCI video card and my screen is now blank. I took it out and put in the old AGP one and the screen remains blank. How can I make the computer work to at least see what is going on?

I have a laptop that's about two and a half years old. It is out of warranty, but still works fine and is in pretty good physical condition. I was planning on giving it to a friend who needed one but she might be buying her own now and won't need it. Are there places that buy old laptops? If not how do I properly dispose of it?

I turned on my computer today to find this lovely message appear. It worked fine last night. However, I have also gotten this message many other times, just restarted, & it reboots with no problem. I've had problems with this computer before, but I've only had this hard drive a couple of years. I haven't kicked it or anything like that recently. I even checked it with my old back-up computer that runs Win '98 that has another hard-drive, but that computer won't read either 2 hard drives right now, so I can't even check it there. I've checked for loose cables, but I don't see any problem, & I can't afford to take it to the shop right now. Any advice? Thanks!

I have no idea which size of hard drive enclosure to use. my hard drive is about 4x6x1 and is an IDE. 3.5 and 2.5 seem too small, but they are really common. Maybe my HD is obsolete and they make them smaller now. IDK. Please help.

Hi guys. I bought used sony vaio VGC RA810 recently and need to wipe everything from musics to operating system (Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition 2005) because I dont know what happened to it in the past. The problem is I dont have any rocovery cds. I am willing to buy cds separately if needed.

Just tell me how to clean everything (from A to Z) and what cd to use after the clean up to install the operating system.

Thank a lot !!! I really need help with this one lol :-)

Ba the way... Can i install Vista or Windows XP instead of Windows Media Center?
