Desktops - September 2006

If these setings are enabled I get some annoying noise after booting. If the processor's temperature is highre than 20 everything is ok but if the temperature is less than 20 I get that noise.

This problem appears the first time my pc boots I get the short beep to say the system has booted successfully but then I get a long beep until the windows screen appears. After the first time it boots I dont get this beep again until my pc has been off for a period of time.

The one that pops out to put my cup of coffee on. The tray even has a hole in the middle which lets any drink I spill fall through. Could the PC maker not have a better design?

When I press the power button the power supply light and fan come on for a slipt second, and so does the cpu fan...but thats it..after that nothing. I had the power supply check and they said it was good. So maybe the motherboard? How can I know for sure before I go buying new parts...and without spending a ton on diagnotics at the computer store? Thanks for your help!

I have Windows XP installed, but not so sure it was a good installation my PC rebooted a couple of times half way thru the installation. Somehow, the machine is able to boot to C drive. However, I would like to do a fresh installation and I can't seem to boot from the installation disc off the CD rom.
I have configured the bios to boot with priority to CD rom and in fact was prompted to hit any key to start from CDrom. However, it still boots from the C drive.

P.S. It has a virus and it's driving me crazy.

I'm thinking of buying an area 51 7500 system but found a dell and customized it with most of the simliar hardware (but not all: liquid cooling, alien ice,alien fx lighting system, light scribe) but could easily upgrade for one or two hundred more dollars. But the dell was for $1500 LESS!!! I know alienware has way better quality especially compared to dells exploding batteries but a 1500 dollar difference is a lot, please explain

I have a 1.3Ghz P4 PC with 256MB Rambus memory, 64MB Ti4200 video. i just recently installed XP Pro on this machine and now the CPU stays constantly at 100%. found the cause of the CPU usage to be high was from the spoolsv.exe svc running. If this is needed to print what is my option to stop it from using all my CPU?

I always unplug my PC whenever I don't use it to save power. After a few months I can't get started. It's power source or something that was busted according to a technician. The same thing had happened to my cable modem just recently. Is it advisable to unplug any electrical appliances to conserve electricity even they are not being used for a short time?
