I've installed a third hard drive, yet when I turn on my computer, it's not recognized. The jumper settings are set to slave. I thought that maybe my computer cannot have more than 4 IDEs taken up (DVD, master HD, slave HD, floppy)...so I disconnect my DVD and connected it to this third Hard Drive.... Still nothing. What could it be?

I've seen the new Killer network card and it claims to increase online gaming performance and such. Does it make that big of a difference over inboard network controllers? Is it that good an investment, Im huge into online shooters. Anybody go from inboard to the Killer or like card?

I just installed a new motherboard (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=P459-1224 ) with a Celeron D processor and 512mb of RAM. When I turn it on the hard drive light, the floppy drive light, the cd-rom drive light, and the CPU fan turn on but the computer doesn't boot. I suspect the problem is that my motherboard has the additional 12v port on it but my power supply doesn't. I think it could also be my video card, my motherboard has an integrated video card and the agp 8x slot isn't compatible with my older video card adapter. I just wanted to know what the problem is most likely to be before I run out and buy a new video card or power supply.

I recently acquired a Graphire 2 Tablet from a friend, but she lost the stylus some time ago and the site isn't clear as to what type of stylus to get as a replacement. Would the TabletPC pens work or is there some specific type I'd have to get?

I just bought an awesome gaming pc. now im looking for a video card for it. i was looking at the Nvidia Geforce EVGA 7600 GT 256mb, but im second guessing my self i think. i dont have alot of money to spend. which is why im leaning toward the cheaper side. does anyone have and suggestions for video cards that are great for gaming, for no more then around $150 after rebate? I want something that can play todays games no problem, and will play games that come out a year from now, fine too. i plan to upgrade to something a lot better 18 months from now. but for now it seems like the 7600 gt is a good card for me. im leaning towards Nvida more then ati. but will listen to suggestions. Also please give any reason(s) why you suggested that card. thanks

After a few errors I have just managed to get my new Sony DVD drive into my computer!!

However, the reason I bought a new drive was that my old one, wouldnt play DVD's very well, the picture was very "jumpy" and after a while would just stop and start and stop and start etc!!

But with music its ok and can copy and record absolutely fine

My new one is doing exactly the same! Doh!!!!!

What else could it be?

All help is greatly appreciated!!

I'm upgrading to Vista from Windows XP and I know I might lose everything on my C drive, but there's nothing important there. The important things are on my D drive. Will I lose anything?

I'm trying to change from an Nvidia Geforce 5200 (I think) to a Radeon 5500. I plugged it in and windows wouldnt load - i rechecked it, replugged it in and still nothing, basically i get the windows loading page and no more. The old video card still works. Anyone know any reason why? Oh and I installed the drivers etc with the manufacturers disk while using the old card.

i have a compaq computer and somebody told me that comaqs don't let you add anything, so CAN i even add a dvd burner? if not internally, then EXTERNALLY?

and here is my other question. i can't currently play dvds on my computer, though i can play movies on cdrs... so i'm wondering if the dvd burner would also function as a dvd player? or do some do this if not all? any special lingo i should look for?

thanks!
