Hi,

I know this is the easiest thing to do when it comes to fixing a problem on a computer but this time it seems I am the one that needs to be replaced not the peripheral.

Do you guys know what or which is the right way to remove a fan from an AMD Athlon Processor?
I have tried one side and it seens the hook that holds it is not there. I Have tried the other side and it is soooo close to the motherboards power supply that there is no way to get screedriver in there. Who is in charge of designing this stuff? I know there is something behind in every designs for computer parts but someone forgot to leave the door open for novices. :-)

Could you provide a tutorial with images for this? Anyone knows of one?

Thank you!!!

I'm trying to add a e-GeForce 3d video card to my computer so my grandson, 5 yr, can play City Life (a Sim program). I've built 2 computers so I know I can do this if I can find the answer to the PCI slot question. Also I've got to find out how to disable the integrated Video on the Motherboard.

The HD itself works and I can turn it on and off. The problem is that my PC doesn't connect to it, meaning that when I plug it in, I hear a sound, suggesting that a device has been connected, but there is no icon showing this, and also "My Computer" does not show an external drive.

I've bought this CD-ROM recently. When I installed it on my PC the machine says SYSTEM HALT due to IDE installation error and it stays that way. I took it back to the vendor for a recheck. There, on his machine, it worked perfectly. So, I asked him what's wrong. He said there's nothing wrong with either the CD-ROM or my machine. He said that some jumper settings, on my mother board, has to adjusted for running this device. I checked my motherboard's user manual, but it was of no help. Could advise me about this trouble? Do you know exactly which jumpers has to be adjusted? Please help.

I have already tried 2 different sound cards in my computer and get the same result each time, a buzzing through my stero speakers. The length of cable is about 25 feet. I've already tried all my connections and they are correct. Feel free to email me for more info! Thanks

My computer is beige and it has a few blinking red lights on the front of it. The red lights weren't there before. How can I fix it? I can't even see "Windows" on it anymore.

I want to get rid of all the programs on it and just have what was on the computer when I got it new. With my old HP I could just do a full recovery on it and it would clean the computer and reinstall everything that came with it. I now have a Gateway Media Center that doesn't have that on it. If I boot from the DVD that came with it, will it reinstall everything, including all the stuff that was loaded to work the Media Center.

I download files using Zip from ModtheSims for the Sims 2. Well lately I have tried to download a file and once its downloaded it tells me that It is corrupt and can't download. At first i thought it was the other person computer or the file and it was bad thats why i couldn't open it/use it. However, the other day I tried to download a few others things, from the same site, and they to said they were corrupt. I can't imagine 5 different files from 5 different people are all going to be corrupt. I have a Dell XPS 400, Windows XP, it has all the goodies on it and its only 5 months old and have never had a problem with it before. We run multiple virus scans on it and adaware/spyware on it all the time. What could be causeing these files to show up as being corrupt?
