Desktops - March 2007

When I shut down the computer, the fan stays running and the light on the power button remains lit with a yellow/amber color. What could be causing this?

It just started happening yesterday. The only way to get the computer back up is to unplug it and plug it back in. Pushing the power button when it is like that does not work.

It is an e-machine, 2.7 GHz Intel Celeron, 80 GB with 1G Ram and I have Windows XP

The system seems to hang-up during booting. It only displays Windows XP home edition, there are times that it boot normally but with so much time. I encountered this last time and I just reformat the hard drive, but after a few weeks here it is again... Please help me with this.. Thanks in advanced!

Every time I put in a disk and double-click on the A-Drive, after a few seconds, it tells me to "please insert a disk into Drive A."

The disk is properly inserted, and Windows (XP home) insists everything is working properly.

I recently switched the A-Drive from this computer with an identical one (same make/model) and that's when the problems began. Should I try to switch the original A-Drive back in? Or is there another culprit at work here?

Is there are significant difference between the two. I'm buying a computer and I'm stumped between the two. The way my computer is configured, AMD is about 100 dollars cheaper than with the Intel chip. I'm looking to save money. Which would you choose. Why?

I will explain the problem in detail… My XP was shut down improperly… Later.. when I turned it on… I went to this page tht told me tht the computer was shut down improperly and tht some hardware or software problem must hav caused it… Thn it gives me the options to go into Safe mode w/ networkin/command prompt or just safe modE… And to start windows automatically…
It doesn’t matter what I click…. The XP page (with the moving bars) loads for sometime and thn it turns off… and thn restarts…
This has happened couple of times before and I restored the computer.. but now I hav figured out tht it was because of the improper shut down… So now the computer never starts… it just comes to the XP loading page and thn turns off… thn restarts.. it keeps doin tht… what shud I do???

My old computer died, so I bought a new dell with vista premium. I had two hard drives on my old XP machine, and I want to transfer them over to have access to my files. I'm not sure but I think my secondary slave drive should transfer over normally, but will my old master which has XP installed on it as well as important documents that i need to get, have trouble being accessed in Vista?

Previously I asked what I needed for file tranfer between two computers and I got an answer that said, use USB cable.

So now I have got the cable but failed to connect the computers, I am asking what do I need to do to connect.

Just yesterday it froze on me and then I turned it off and turned it back off, as it was on start up it froze again and I turn it off and on again. Now whenever it starts up it takes up to 30 minutes to completely start off and now its pretty slow, when I open windows or files it takes awhile as in before it just ones the second I click something. What do I do to fix this?
