is there any type of gear i can buy that can read the data off of the actual platters from hard drives? Or is that only within the realm of "data recovery experts" with expensive pieces of gear?

I have just bought a creative 5.1 Inspire P580 surround sound system and a Creative Sound Blaster Live Digital 5.1 sound card (SB0100) and, eventually got it to work!!1 But I cannot get the centre speaker to work. I did a test on all the speakers and the centre one was fine. But if i play music it wont work, or play music direct from the internet (youtube) it wont work then either!!

All help greatly appreciated!!

I am contemplating on buying a 512 MB computer but was told I should probably get a 1GB. My old computer was a 512MB and I did just fine. Can I purchase the extra memory at a later date?

Hi I have a USB mouse that all of a sudden will not work in any USB port. The scroll button on top of the mouse has a light inside and flickers at a fast rate. In device manager, if i plug the mouse in, the device manager list constantly tries to refresh itself as if its trying to install the USB mouse over and over but fails. Where should I start troubleshooting this? I have a PS/2 mouse working correctly in the meantime. 1 of the 6 USB ports gets the mouse to install itself in device manager but the mouse does not move and loses connection there as well.

PS I have tried a few USB mice now, with the same result on this computer.....

My Current PC atm is the following,

Athlon 64 3700 San Diego Core socket 939

2 Gig of DDR PC 3200 Corsair Value select

80 gig HD Western Digital

Asus A8N5X Socket 939 Nforce 4 Motherboard.

I currently have no plans to do any overclocking, and I'm only running 1 Hard Drive, 1 Floppy, 1 CD/RW Burner. What is the best power supply I can get for under 100 dollars from newegg that will power my system with an Geforce 8800 GTS installed in, from what I understand its a power eater. But having a hard time picking a power supply out, any ideas?

I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card. I have absolutely no idea what DDR and GDDR and what goes with my computer. Right now I have a Geforce 6200 TC if that helps. I know that I have PCI-E, so is any card suitable, I'm looking at getting at Geforce 7600 GS, 1) is that a good card and 2) can it run on my comp. I will provide more details if needed.

I was recently told I need more Ram for my pc but what about the processor? How do I know if I need a new processor too? How about the mother board? Is there a way to check on these without paying an arm and a leg?? Thanks.

Please suggest if I should switch off the button of my UPS while I turn off my computer and should I also switch off the mains button in this case.

Or should I keep the main button on and switch off the UPS button so that it may keep charging?

Does UPS keeps charging while we work on computer?

Well I was just wondering which would be a better upgrade for my new HP. It currently has 1GB of RAM and a 6150 Graphics/Video Card. I was looking and I saw a GeForce 7950 at Best Buy for about $300. I was also thinking I could get another GB of RAM so it'd be 2 Gigs of RAM. Which upgrade would be better to get for gaming? Any help would be appreciated :)

My motherboard will support the highest AthlonXP (3200 I think) and up o 2 gigs of RAM. I want to speed up the process when working with video. Short of buying a new computer, what will give me the best results - faster processor, more RAM, combination of both.

Ok, so i got a new game that ran like crap. My friend said he could make it faster. So being retarded I let him have the comp and he called me and said it doesn't work now. I'm like wtf? He told me that he tried installing some more ram that he had from another computer and it was the wrong kind. Then while it was running he noticed that it wasn't reading the ram. So instead of turning it off, he just pulled out the old ram. Now it acts like it restarts every 2 sec. The cd/dvd drives flash like it is restarting itself. I cant even get to the screen to reformat it. It is an hp a530n. I know how to install ram, I didn't know thats all he was going to do. But wtf did he do to it? I called a repair shop, and they said he could of screw up the mother board, (not likely) or he could of "confused" it. How can I de-confuse it? Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to pay $35 for them to just tell me what is wrong with it.
