About a week ago, I blew a breaker that goes to my bathroom as well as my bedroom. Before I tripped the breaker back on, I unplugged my tower to prevent a surge. Well, when I plugged my tower back it my power button the front just blinks. There is also a little green light on the back near the power cord that blinks along with my power button. Now, I am pretty computer savvy, but this has me stumped. It will not turn back on. Any one have any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!

AMD Athlon™ 64 3500 ins't a good CPU ?

The program calculates and builds inventory, so it does take a while. Granted, it shouldn't take as long as it did. I tested out the exact same program on two different machines, one with NT and the other with Vista. The latter of the two took more than double the time to execute. I tried disabling most, if not all, of the enhanced graphics controlls inside Vista, and reallocating RAM and other resources to help things move along quicker. Is there any way that I can speed up the process a little?

I currently own an Athlon 64 Venice core 3200+ but plan to get an Athlon X2, probably 4200+ or 4600+.

As a cpu fan I use the Thermaltake Silent 939 (CL-P0200D) 80x80x20mm, 2000rpm, 57m3/h, 508g.

Thermaltake homepage lists the cooler in both the 64 as well as the X2 section.

Reading the specs it only says it's compatible for Athlon 64 and Athlon FX.

Now can I use my current CPU cooler or do I have to get a new? I don't want to use the one that comes with the boxed CPU version.

Very odd, I started syching my computer with WorldTimeServer and every day, my computer needs to be adjusted by at least 8 seconds, so if I leave it for a week, it can lose several minutes.

This is an MST266 motherboard with an AMD Athlon 2100+ chip.

Thanks!

My computer was having a lot of problems, viruses and so on, so I just reinstalled windows and everything is great except that I can't access the Stanby or Hibernation options when I go to turn the computer off. The icon is there, it's just not "clickable." Any ideas of how I can fix this? Thanks for your help!

About a year ago my parents had to get a new motherboard put in. Ever since then the sound has not worked right. The only way you can really hear anything is on headphones. When the speakers are plugged in (and yes we unplug the headphones when doing this!) you can hear a very low sound if you put the speaker right next to your ear. I have put all the volume settings on their highest and nothing is muted. Do they just need to buy new speakers or what else could help?

I'm looking for a reconditioned pc for my mother-in-law for christmas. She has a good keyboard and monitor so just need the base unit. She wants to get on the internet for the first time and to do some basic word processing so she won't need anything too flashy but one with a good warranty would be ideal. If anyone out there knows of any good places to look let me know!

My computer frequently requires restarting and sometimes offers random programs I have not selected. I sometimes wonder if mechanical parts such as hard drive bearings or head drives lose their precision tolerances and actually wear out. Reinstalling programs, etc. sometimes helps, but the problems recur. Are there any particular signs to look for?
