Desktops - March 2007

I have an eMachines PC with Windows XP Media Center 2005. For a couple of weeks, the computer randomly restarted . Now, it will not turn on at all. I turn the computer on, and the fan turns on. Nothing comes on the display. Is there something I need to do to fix it? There is plenty of ventilation. Is it a motherboard issue or a power issue? I have scanned my computer for viruses, and there are no viruses in it. I also scanned for spyware. I have removed all spyware from the PC.

I'm looking for a new computer running Vista, at least 256mb graphics card and over 100 gig hard drive... I don't really want to spend much more than £450... I've been looking at PC World packages which include monitors, and am currently being swayed by the HP Compaq 2129 with lightscribe technology. Anyone know what I should go for, or some websites i can try?
Thank you!

I am a 16 year old with an interest in technology. I have a decent job and have a respectable amount of spending money, but I would rather not spend more than 1000 dollars. I want to buy a computer that will not completely suck with in two years. I don't need a fancy graphic card or anything, just a computer that I can run a lot of things at one time and store a lot of music and such. Also I am considering switching to Linux so if you have any suggestions about that id appriciate it.

OK, heres the deal, I went to a computer shop and bought a 320GB IDE hard drive, I already had a masters, but what the computer tec told me to do was to take out the old one, set the new one to masters, and leave the old one alone. Then he told me to install windows on the new one, so I did, and after I would install windows he told me to set the jumpers to the new one to slave, and the old one to master with slave. I did this, and you know what, it worked! Now I'm going to transfer files from one hard drive to the other, but the problem is that I don't know how to do that. also, do I need to format the new drive or what, and how do I update the Bios? I could really use some help right now, thanks!

It sounds like very high pitched electrical droning. I dont recall it doing this about two days ago. Its about 4 months old, its a Anstec 450 watt.

Is this normal, what diagnostic procedures must I follow, or is it a sign that I must just buy a new power supply.
