Other - Hardware - September 2006

I have Norton. Can I use it to scan an external drive? I want to be sure to get rid of anything bad before hooking it up to other computers.

I know I have asked this question on here before but it was never answered so I am going to repost it.

My new pc will not boot. No matter what I do it just will not start (fully). Nomatter what hdd I have in there after about 20 sec my pc just turns off. Even when there is no hdd and I just start up into the bios it still just turns off after about 20sec. Each time I try to turn it on it stays on for less and less untill it turns off about about 5 sec. When that happens if I leave if off for a few min then it will stay on for about 20 sec and then turn it's self off. It is a new pc that I have just built and here are the specs:

Intel pentium D 940 3.2 ghz
ASUS P5VDC-MX mobo
256mb pc2700 sdr (temp)
Nvidia geforce mx 440 (temp)

Please help me get this to work. I have spent alot of money on it and it would be a huge shame if it turned out to be a waste of money and time.

Thanks

What should I do to correct this?

If so, how?! (in layman's terms please!)

Also, will this extend the desktop or will it simply give me a duplicate on a second screen?

Thanks in advance.

When I try to switch it on, the power led blinks 3 times in succession, waits for a while and blinks 3 times in succession again, and so on.

Fan doesn't come on, harddisk doesn't come on, nothing comes on. Only thing is the blinking power led.

I know that my cmos battery was dying before, but surely even if it dies, the desktop would at least go to the bios screen/fan at least come on???

Any ideas?

I have to choose from the following producers: Asus, LG, Philips, Plextor and Teac. I could really use a little help.

The model doesn't really matter, but the producer. I'll take care of the details when I'll go buy it :D.

My pc is really old, its still a pentium 1, windows 98 and 60mb ram..... and it doesnt even say how much Mhz its cpu has:s plus I dont know much about these things

I was thinkign of getting it to pentium 4, 516mb ram, 3GHz cpu, a very good norton anti-virus, a good cam and mic, GeForce Graphics card, a tft monitor, a new keyboard.

How much do u think that will cost me in dollars..... and would I be better off buying a brand new pc? oh and tell me what sound card should I be getting for intense sound.... if u can even buy those!

Up until a week ago my webcam has been working fine. Now all of a sudden it will work ok until i log on to do a video chat on msn messenger. when it connects, the video freezes completely. my internet runs fine otherwise and i have it plugged in to a USB 2.0. Does anybody know why this is happening? (My camera is a Microsoft Lifecam if it makes any difference).

I recently bought a brand new hard drive, but now I have idea how to use it! How do I format it and put an OS on it?

Computer characters comprise not only single symbols (letters, digits, etc.), but also compound tokens (keywords, function names, etc.).

As for 'single symbols', I believe it refers to those keys we press on their own. 'Compound tokens' those which require TWO keys. Now, 'keywords' and 'function names' I don't think I can fully understand how they differ from one another. HELP! LOL Ok, I'd appreciate any help and if anyone can come up with the terms in Spanish as well, that'd be just AWESOME! Thanks. :)
