OK, major issue here. We have a Dell Dimension E510, and it just plain refuses to start-up, it only displays the big blue "DELL" text, and the progress bar at the bottom.

I called Dell, and they told me to unplug everything, and remove the memory cards. Now when I try to boot up the computer, there are six annoying beeps, then nothing.

If it matters, we got this computer three months ago, and it has Windows XP Media Center. No new hardware or anything like that, just randomly broke :(

My Western Digital HDD model 2500JD is giving up on me. :((
I want ot buy a new HDD but don't know for which brand should I go...hm...I heard Maxtor is good also Seagate, but Seagate are very cheap=(in my opinion) low performance. I want a ATA133 based drive with built-in windows recognisence. I say this because I headr the Maxtor need some special drivers so that WinXP can recognize it. I don't have that much money to spend, but I would rather buy a small capacity but highly reliable HDD, than a crapy big sized HDD. I am really stuned because I knew that WD are top of the line HDDs, and now it's giving up on me, although I had it for 6 months. What advice would you give me?
My system is not an old one, it's just 6 months old:MB=Asus A8N-SLI DELUXE, CPU=AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Clawhammer core, RAM=Kingmax PC3200 512Mb*4=2Gb, VGA=Asus 6600LE/256 MB, Greentech power source 450W.

Heres what I want it to have, the other stuff doesnt matter. I want it to have 2 pci-e x16, 3 or more Pci slots, 4 or 6 ram slots, Socket 775 pentium 4 or pentium D. Anything else doesnt matter. I found one, but its an AMD motherboard, but I cant find one for a pentium. Can someone tell me where to find one, or the name and model number of the motherboard(s)?

It was working fine last night, although I've noticed for a while that a light in the front under what looks like a battery icon keeps staying on. This morning when I turned on the computer, that light came on again and the fan started running, but nothing else happened. Now when I try, even that light is out and the fan doesn't come on; tower is completely dead. Monitor and speakers are plugged into the same power strip and turn on just fine. Haven't had any electrical storms or power outages. There is no reset button on the computer. Has my power supply died, or are there things I can try before assuming that?

my computer crashed and i had to restore system (Windows ME). Since then I cannot find the driver I need for my network card. My friend sold me the computer and she can't find the disk that came with the network card. I can't find the driver on the windows disks and i can't connect to the internet without the driver. Can someone please help me? PLEASE!!!! All I know about the modem is that it is listed as CONEXANT PCI ETHERNET 56K ITU V.90 PCI FAX/MODEM. I called the company who made the computer (EMACHINES) and they told me that I have to have the disk that came with the network card but I don't have the disk so what else can I do to recover the driver?

It's a Compaq Presario.
Product Number: 5SPXE1
Current RAM: 256MB
It was bought almost 5 years ago, but unfortunately I don't have space for a new one at the moment.
So I'm thinking of adding on about 512MB-1GB of RAM, but there's all these diffferent types. I prefer places like: Circuit City, Best Buy, Staples. So If you could give me a link to some products at one or more of these sites it would be really helpful.
