Tech support said I should get more memory to help my computer run smoother, since I have a huge processor, and my one 512 stick I have is only reporting 504. I ordered a 1 GB, but am inexperienced as to putting it in (which looks pretty straightforward) but am worried about the effect of switch memory sticks on my computer, as I do use this to work on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Mac Mini Solo computer that works pretty well but I want something that has aleast a dual core processor. Im looking at the new Apple laptops and also the new Imac. I like apples designs tenfold than other computer manufacturers however the mac operating system has no basic gaming abilities. How hard is it to install vista or xp on a mac computer, and is it worth 1500 bucks for a mac with vista or something from sony. I'm looking for a high quality build laptop with some good graphics but i like the cheapest possible.

The start up process does not begin just the fans.Could it be my processor or something more sinister

2007-12-05 23:06:51 · 8 answers · asked by Anonymous

No fans turn on nor will the machine power up when I press the main button. I have tried swapping the power unit with no change and also bypassed the power switch with a screwdriver on both pins but now I'm stumped...could it be the motherboard or am I missing something? Please help!

Ok, before you freak out about a noob building his own pc, my friend graduated with a computer engineering degree and does this for a living. He will be accompanying me :)

1. I heard you need to de-static your fingers so you don't fry your pc parts? Is it possible to use leather gloves or latex gloves?
2. Is 550 watts enough to power a 2.6ghz dual core/7600gt 256mb gfx card/ asus sli mobo/4 gigs of ram/dvd/cd drive/and a 250gig hd?
3. I heard unless you multi task with media it's not really a necessity to get a dual core... but the only single cores I can find are the athlon 64 around 2ghz. I have an amd athlon barton 2500 @ 1.8ghz, is there a big diff?

If I press the power button on the computer and it doesnt turn on correctly. The first time I turned it on, I saw the initial POST screen. Then nothing. Now, I turn it on and the fans spin, the hard drive spins, and all seems well, but there is no display. Im thinking it might be the mobo, but I would like it not to be :).. I switched out the RAM and same result. I dont have a CPU to switch out either.

I have tested the monitor and it works fine.

In my attic I have an older Win 95 based Gateway that won't boot. I want to resuscitate it so I can use it to each myself Linux as I'm such a clutz I'm sure to screw up the PC I'm using now if I tried something like that.

So what I need to know is why it won't boot. What it does when I hit the power button is go through the motions of booting up to a certain point, then nothing. The operating system won't load, and I notice that the hard drive pitch doesn't seem quite high enough.

My guess is that the power supply is malfunctioning to some degree and is no longer sufficient to juice the hard drive 100%, but I'm a bit of a novice so appreciate if someone would set me straight if I'm heading in the wrong direction.

My computer wont turn on, shot the wires with a multimeter and had no voltage out of any of the wires from the power source(not sure whats its called, where you plug the computer into the outlet). Checked the cord, its good. The computer is old anyways, wouldnt mind junking it but I have a ton of files I need off it (games/pictures/stuff) is there a way I can hook this hard drive to my laptop/another computer (Its a HP desktop if that helps, my mom has an HP as well, similar model but newer)

I have a five year old dell pentium 4 with a 17 inch big TV style monitor, and a heavy motherboard. Is it better to leave it on to hybernate and turn the monitor off when I'm not using it, or should I keep shutting it down and restarting if I use it again? Does it even matter?
More info....
I unplug the net connection when I'm not using it.
