Desktops - February 2007

My son has an old gateway computer . When he turns it on, the power light comes on, but nothing else happens.

I have removed the power source, and it seems like the fan is locked up.

When I try to do a System Restore, I have the checkpoints and all so I click the one I want and started the Restore. It logged me out and started restoring but it would stop, restart, and upon loggin it would tell me that the "System Restoration Incomplete" and that it failed to Restore. I've tried a lot of check points including the one of 1/31/07 (Thats yesterday :p), They all wouldn't work and it gave me the same message. I did some research and found out to try it in safe mode. I tried this, the only difference is that it took longer to tell me it was Incomplete... Can anyone help?

I am finally buying my vista premium notebook, but don't know which processor t go with. The computer with the AMD Turion 64 X2 is a bit cheaper than the one with the intel core 2 duo. But i want to know if the AMD is good for games, media center, and my Autodesk applications. I keep hearing the Intel processor is the best, but if its faster than te AMD and will allow me to do games and etc. I wouldnt mind dishing out a little extra for it.

ok so I got an MSI P4 motherboard. I got the DDR ram that it suggests in the manual, I bought a 300 watt powersupply because the manual suggests a 300 or up.

The computer has a pentium 4 intel processor.


I am using an IDE drive right now that is from 1996-97 it is like 20 gbs.

Anyway, when I turn the power on to my computer it will start but only go to one screen that shows it detects the hard drive and the disk drives. Then it says "WARNING! CMOS has been reset, please verify settings in Setup." and I press f1 and on the keyboard and the screen goes completely blank, it has only gone to the setup page once, but then froze.

When it resets, there is usually a wierd clicking sound coming from the motherboard from near where the power switch plugs into the motherboard, and where the CMOS reset jumper is.


Can anyone help? Anyone have this happen before?
