Ok i have an older pc i am repairing just to see if i can do it. I recived an error message that said "fan failed shutting pc down in 5 seconds." The pc has only 1 fan in it, and considering it smelled seriously burnt, i ordered a new one from new egg. I got the new one today and added the heat compound and installed it only to get the same pc fan failed message. Now what??

Ok, I bought a PCI graphics card for my Dell Dimension 2400. I know that the graphic card is the slot that the monitor plugs in, but I guess my PC has an on board graphics card? Now I have this new graphics card and have no idea how to connect it into my PC. Any help would be great, I just hope I did not waste money on a graphics card I can't use.

i am currently running a nvidia 7600gt on a pentium 4,1gb ram,epox motherboard with a 300watt p.s.u
howvever after enquiring with nvidia customer care,they advised me to increase my power supply,i knew the p.s.u was a bit on the low side,and i have managed to get my hands on a ctk 400watt psu
my question is "will changing the p.s.u affect the operating system or bios in any way",
the reason for the bigger psu is some of my games were stuttering using the smaller 300watt p.s.u so i presume the 7600gt was being starved of power so will the 400watt psu solve this problem!
cheers guys!

I just took my computer in to the local computer shop, which im never going to do again, so they could fix my DvD drives, now i got it back and my sound keeps skipping, I use my computer mainly for gaming and music/video editing, having sound that constantly and randomly skips just wont do, and i really dont want to take it back to that computer shop, so does anyone know how I can fix this? I went through the trouble shooting tips, and none of them worked

You know when you pull out the power cord on a computer or if you hold down the power button, does it do anything bad, besides maybe loosing anything you did since the last shutdown

Heres the story, Ive had this pc Ive made for about 4 months with no issues. Today without reason my PC has decided to no longer boot up. No Post, No Beep, No Nothing. Ive tested out the psu, its still working fine. Tried resetting bios thru jumpers, that didnt work. Tried removing battery for CMOS, that didnt work. Any ideas of how to get this thing to even show me anything yet alone the bios screen? BTW I havent installed anything new software wise or hardware wise lately to affect this so Im kinda stumped on this one.

I want to sell it. Not the entire thing just the CPU, so I wanted to know what I am selling. All I know is that it is an IBM desktop...is there anywhere in/on the computer I can find this information.
