ok so when I turn on my cpu the fan starts going and it hums like it would be working normaly but nothing happens. no monitor activity, no sound from the speakers, nothing. I tryed both onboard and off board video cards but nothing happens (also onboard sound card is dead). I made sure every thing was pluged in inside and out. uhooked parts and tryed to start it up again and nothing happens still. every once and a great while I get a start up it shows my motherboard info as if its going to start up but then it fizzels out and goes back to blackness. also I bought a new processor thinking that it had burnt out but even with the new one the same exact stuff happens. I even tryed to start it up with my windows disc and still nothing. I think my mother board may have craped out but i figure before I go spending money I shoul put this out there thanks in advance.

SO BASICALLY WHAT I MEAN IS THAT I SAVE EVERYTHING I DOWNLOAD ONTO MY THUMB DRIVE TO SAVE SPACE, SO I DON'T HAVE TO SAVE IT DIRECTLY ON MY COMPUTER HARD DRIVE. BUT WHEN I DOWNLOAD SOMETHING IT SAYS THAT THE FILE HAS BEEN COPIED INTO A FOLDER IN MY COMPUTER SOMETHING LIKE THIS "C:/USERS/___/OT552PII3..."

AND WHEN I CHECK MY HARD DRIVE STATUS, THE SPACE CAPACITY GOES DOWN. SO BASICALLY I'M STILL DOWNLOADING THINGS INTO MY COMPUTER, WHICH DEFEATED THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF BUYING A THUMB DRIVE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FIND THAT FOLDER IN MY COMPUTER SO I CAN DELETE THE FILES THERE!!!!

IT HIDES THE WHOLE ADDRESS OF WHERE THE FILE IS, AND WHEN I GO TO USERS AND ALL THE FOLDER ISN'T THERE...IS IT A HIDDEN FOLDER?? AND I HAVE A VISTA SO IT MAKES EVERYTHING A BIT MORE COMPLICATED...

My concern is with the heat pipes near the processor, and whether that will create a problem with trying to fit a CPU water block (which requires an adaptor as far as I have seen from the Koolance line).

If so, which is the best and is it even worth it? I have Vista Home Premium, AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200, and 1918 (the "1024 MB" that came with the computer only registered as 894 MB) MB of RAM (which i plan to add at LEAST another GB, hopefully 2 GB in the next few weeks). I realize I could buy a PCI-E video card that is MUCH better but I'm not THAT into gaming on PC. Thanks

Ok, I am going to purchase a computer later this year. Problem is I don't know to choose HP or Dell. What do you think? And also, I am wanting to get a computer that works great with games. So I was thinking a 3.0 GHz processor and 2gbs of memory for under 600 dollars. Need some help. Thanks!

I have never encountered a problem such as this one. I have a Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop. When I turn it on, It powers on for 3 seconds or less, then turns off by itself, then after 1 or 2 seconds, turns on automatically. I hear something but it doesn't sound like a beep; it's very faint. Also, there is no display. After it turns on fully, everything seems to operate normally on the tower. You can see the power light on, fans on, motherboard light on but no display. I have Windows Xp Pro and there is no video card. The monitor is plugged into the on-board VGA port.

Any ideas?

This shoudn't be happening, but it is....

I just got a new Intel Core 2 Duo 6600, and was multitasking like mad, having Netscape Navigator going with about 10 tabs, an anti virus scan going and iTunes was playing music-and the computer was hiccupping. What is up with this? I thought Core 2s weren't supposed to do this?? I guess Intel's statement that with the Core 2 you can:"Do more at the same time, like playing your favorite music, running virus scan in the background, and all while you edit video or pictures. "-is a bunch of crap. Is this processor related, which I'm thinking it is?

I also tried to play a game online, Command and Conquer Generals, which isn't that intensive-and the game hiccupped also. I closed itunes and most of the other apps except for navigator, and the game was still stuttering. Cpu usage was about 3/4's of the way up on both cores during this. Could the game stuttering have been due to my router or the cpu? If it is the CPU, should contact Intel?
