it has in the past with no problems. It could read and write just fine. However now it will not see any audio cd's. It will see a CD-ROM and read off of it just fine...... any ideas?

Hey all, I need a new power supply. I am running off an old 300W supply I pulled from an un-used computer. To get it to fit into my case, I needed to make a 1/2 inch wooden spacer to get it to fit.
http://support.gateway.com/s/POWER/6500684/6500684mv.shtml is my original power supply. Anyone know what type that is? I want to buy from NewEgg, so what should I search for? (My case has an arm that holds down the PSU and no screws...so I need a either perfect size PSU or a spacer...and I dont want a spacer) Thanks!

I am looking to upgrade my computer. I'm stuck with a Dell 2400 and am wondering, if I get a new Motherboard and Processor, will I basicallly be able to transfer most of my other stuff? I would of course get more RAM, bigger Hard Drive, Video Card, Power Supply, etc...and know I could save money over buying a full Brand New PC. But what all would I be able to transfer? And is there some things I would for sure have to switch out? If it's gonna be a whole ton of stuff, I'm just gonna buy a PCI Graphics Card and more RAM.

We have a Dell Dimension 4700 desktop that is 2 years old and works well. We are using the back speaker jack for a set of speakers in two rooms which always work fine. The problem is when we plug in a headphone into the front headphone jack it almost immediately makes it so that you can't select anything with your mouse and then the cursor slows way down.

We've tried several remedies including unplugging the headphone once the problem starts and unplugging the speakers from the back before plugging in the headphone to the front. None have worked. The only remeady has been to restart the computer by pressing on the button on the front. I can't seem to get the Process box to appear by pressing cntl-alt-delete.

The really strange thing is that the headphone jack worked, with the speakers plugged in, for about 6 months before this problem arose about a year ago. The only way to use the headphones now is to unplug the speakers before we turn on the computer. Please help!

it's an e-machine 325 with 512mb ram and 80gb hd. about 3 1/2 yrs. old. probably not worth fixing ? only paid $449.00 after instant rebate @ best buy. wonder what happened to it ? doesn't turn on at all now. haven't looked inside yet. shouldn't a fuse have blown before it started smoking ? it was plugged into a surge protector, monitor still works.

I want to stick it on my computer, but it said something about a contract with Intel, only if you had a contract with Intel you can use that sticker, is that right?

My desktop is messed up... it's a dell dimension 3000 with a windows xp. It has a black screen that says in brief: a previous startup attempt was interrupted due toa power failure or because the power or reset button was pressed. (which i did push) i tried safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known config, start windows norm. than there is blue screen that says: "stop error screen" unmountable_boot_volume technical information:
***STOP: 0x000000ED (0x623DF9E0,0xC0000006,0x00000000,0x00000000)

well hope that made sense to someone i have no clue...

HELP!!?!?!?!?!?!? What's wrong? What can I do? Will it be expensive to fix? I'm clueless

Like physical structure (No. Of PINS) are obvious but what are the other essential factors for a processor to work fine with a motherboard?
Do all the things must be EXACT like , front bus speed, core stepping , CPUID String, Core Voltage, Bus/Core Ratio,Manufacturing Technology, etc etc.

I know that the best thing is to talk to motherboard manufacturer for the compatibilty of a processor so please do not suggest that or give any non serious answer.

Thanks in advance

Just wondering what the specific order is, so I want to know the smallest to largest memory names, then convert the size of the space to a smaller space, for example (i don't know the exact number) one Kilobyte= 1000 bytes or something like that.

Ok, I just got my friends old computer. I has windows XpSp2 and a celeron processor. I am not using it to go on the internet, I cleaned all unnessesary programs out of it,(and it seemed to work fine) and then installed a printer. Now everytime I do something simple like try to play pinball, it freezes up. Do it need to wipe the hard drive? If I do, How is it done?
