I have checked the power lead. Is it likely to be the power supply or should I check something else?
The power supply is 308439-001 (308617-001) if anyone has any spares.

How do I upgrade my desktop? What are the steps, what kind of problems I will encounter (eg. Bios etc), how much budget should I expect to get the desired results.
Ok my current system specs are as follows.

Current system specs

Motherboard
Intel (Santorini) Motherboard 933MHz Pentium III R2

Memory -
256-MB 133/100/66-MHz 64-Bit 4-Clock 16x16 SDRAM DIMM

Hard Drives -
Western Digital 40-GB 7200-RPM Ultra ATA/100 Hard Disk Drive


What I want is a mother board of about 3 GHz capacity Pentium 4, Memory of about 1 GB, hard drive 80 GB (I have only one slot for the hard drive left so I have to remove the old one and install a new hard drive),
finally I want to intall a Geforce 3D video card that is lacking on my desktop for faster graphics (please advice what capacity of Megabytes is prefrable lets say for a game of Delta force Typhoon Rising kind, just for example),
maybe a tv tuner card.

Do I need to change the bios? Or is it built in the new mother board (lame question, sorry)?

I purchased an SD Card Yesterday, and after inserting it, I received a Code 10 Problem in device manager, with a yellow exclamation mark (!). After Uninstalling and Reinstalling it I got a Code 9 Problem. I am running Windows XP Professional SP2 and have tried updating Windows. I have also attempted to use the Troubleshooter options, but these did not work.

I would appreciate it if someone could please help me

Many Thanks,

Lambros

Is it 600 watts or what? I have a media centre computer and I want to know what should be the power of an inverter if I want to attach one. This is because the power supply is uneven in my area. The power is 230 v not 110.

I am using an SD Card and in Device Manager it has a yellow exclamation mark (!) next to it. For this reason I am unable to access it. All drivers are installed and connected properly.

I am running Windows XP Professional SP2.

I have attempted to reinstall the product, and this didn't help. After contacting the device owner, they couldn't assist me, and no programs are interferring with it as I have attempted uninstalling most of my programs.

I really want to play The Sims 2 on my main computer, but it has bad graphics so I can only play it on my mom's slow laptop. My dad bought a brand new graphics card to put into the computer, but we found out that you can't remove the graphics card! It's attatched to the computer. This is a brand new Dell computer. My friend said that you can still hook the graphics card up, is this true? If so, how do you do it?
