 | Have you looked in the BIOS to see if the USB keyboard feature has been disabled? btw...your keyboard will not work in the BIOS, you have to use the F keys, up and down keys, + or - keys, and let's not forget the enter and esq keys. |
| | Ouch...that one could cost you. Next time use either a VOM or DMM to check the out put of the PSU, and a continuity test on the power cord (unpluged). Most PSUs have DC voltages ranging from +3.3v to +20v, and -5v to -20v. If there was a short in … |

| | Have you tried using a different PSU? |
| | Did you take their advice and retry the download? You may want to delete the other first.  |

| | Purely as a point of curiostiy, what browser are you using? |
| | The listed requirements for a PSU for that card is 400W, and that Antec is a good PSU, I don't think this is your problem. The noise that you hear when it first starts could also be you optical devices spinning up, and yes it could be the hdd. Is … |

| | I'm guessing that you aren't using the computer as a piggy bank, and that when you say you put more money into it you are refering to an after sale installation. Will you please tell us what you installed? :cool:  |
| | It depends on what that message was, if it said it can't because it is in use, try deleting it in the safe mode, but as previously suggested you should be able to delete it in the conrol pannel under add and remove programs. |
| | It could be a problem with your PSU. |
| | Have you tried blowing it out, there isn'y a lot of space in laptops for circulation so getting dust and other fiberous material in there can cause a loss of circulation which in turn can causes over heating which will shut the machine down.  |
| | The beeps are an error code, if you tell us what make and model your computer is we can find out what the error code is and go from the to sort out your porblem.  |
| | That board needs a PSU with 250W and 18A on the 12V rail, does you PSU meet these specs? |
| | What make and model is your motherboard, CPU, RAM, and PSU? Part of this sounds like you had a problem with the OS installation and have bugs. It might be worth formatting the hdd, partition it and reinstall the OS. |
| | hello Pi, and welcome to DaniWeb. What did you use when you scanned the computer? It does sound like some kind of infection, some infections will not be active in the safe mode which would explain why it will load normally. This inversely is why it is best to run …  |

| | You may be able to add RAM beyond the recommended amount, but it will make you computer run slower...if it works at all. Machine as old as you people are talking about are picky about what RAM they will run on which become another consideration. For those of you in … |
| | What else are you using this computer for? If you are going on line with it then you should scan for infections, that's typically what slows things down if it has happened quickly. When was the last time that you defragged the hdd? How much RAM and free space on … |

| | Between the beep and the keyboard LEDs staying on I would guess that you have some thing stopping the POST. Look in you user's manual to see what the beep indicates. |
| | I don't have any suggestions, but I would like to ask if this was purchased on Ebay? |
| | Re: confused... [color=green]When you take a hdd with a Windows OS installed on it that you have been using on one computer and then install it as a master in another computer you are asking for major problems. The excerpt below is from a [url=http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/sb/cs-009290.htm]Intel[/url] article which describes in detail what happens. … |
| | I ran across a pretty good tutorial for this. The link below will take you to it. [url]http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2010/2/11/xp.pro.32.to.win.7.64[/url]  |
| | What does the user's manual say about settings in the BIOS? And look and see if there is a jumper on the motherboard that needs to be changed. It the BIOS has an auto setting there may be other setting specific to the two different graphics. |
| | If it is a USB type keyboard look in the BIOS to see if it is still enabled. If it came with drivers try reinstalling them. |
| | Unplug it for about two minutes and see what happens. |
| | Have you tried replacing the drivers? Ludington eh? I spent two summers in Pentwater just up the road in the late sixties. |
| | Two wires come off of the header on the motherboard and run through the on/off switch. This switch is a momentary type, this means that it only makes contact when it is depressed. To replace this on a desk top computer would be pretty easy, replacing one in the laptop … |
| | Re: RAM bus speed The PC3200 is going to be the best performing of the two. Try using just the PC3200 and see if the performance is better. |
| | After reformatting and getting everything back to normal I decided to make a rescue disk for my AVG anti virus, after using the only two floppys I realized that I wasn't going to have enough to finish the job, so I decided to explore the alternative...a CD. After three unsuccessful … |
| | Hope [url=http://ask-leo.com/whats_a_good_portable_pdf_reader.html]this[/url] helps.  |
| | I'm sure the rexluporum was implying that this should be done in the safe mode, but I will point out the obvious just to be sure. I you don't find anything when you run the scan/s you might try using the last known good configuration, if that fails you can … |
| | The power on self test looks at the RAM, disc drives, and all of the peripheral devices and if there is a failure in any of these it will fail to start without at least prompting. This computer is what seven or eight years old? If you have to replace … |
| | It has been suggested that I flash my BIOS in an attempt to correct a problem, I have also been warned that this could leave me with more problems than I started with, so how can I avoid this other than the obvious not doing it? And How is flashing … |
| | If you know what the make of the hdd is you can go to the manufacturers web site and download their diagnostic tool. Most of these will have you download this to a hdd and then make a foppy to boot from. If your laptop doesn't have a floppy you …  |
| | How about the make and model of that laptop. |
| | I went back to see if you had any post detailing you RAM, and in one post you say that you have 128MB, and in another 256MB, if the maximun RAM (not combined with video card) is only 256MB, you can bet your bottom dollar that you can increase your … |
| | Have you tried uninstalling the drive, cycling the computer on and off, and reinstalling the drive? Are you using the driver from XP or did your drive come with a CD with its own drivers? Do you have another computer that you could try the drive in? If your computer … |
| | If you have the installation CD you can use that to run a repair. You will want to go to the BIOS and make your CD-ROM the first device in the boot order so that when you insert the CD and restart the computer it will boot from that CD. … |
| | These are bogus alerts, they're trying to sell you their prodcuts. Popup blockers will (should) block these. What did you change so that you're now getting popups? |
| | Try clearing the CMOS. There should be a jumper on the motherboard close to the battery, move it so that it covers the middle tine and the one that was open, leave this for about ten seconds and reset the jumper to its original position. You can also do this … |
| | Trying to repair the motherboard on a component level is a daunting task. Due to miniaturization there are few components on the motherboard that you can trouble shoot. If you look on the back of a modern motherboard you will see that most all of the components a surface mounted … |
| | Try a different media or another utility. DVD Shrink is freeware that will work, or you can get a free trial of DVDFab. This is strange, this is the second thread that I've read this evening ragarding Nero 7.  |

| | Have you tried installing it as a slave on the same IDE cable with your hdd with your OS system on it? Most any current hdds should last longer that a year unless they have be subjected to some form of trama, not just internal hdds but externals as well. … |
| | Did the system restore solve the problem? Would you please post the exact error messages. |
| | Pardon me if I snicker here, but what do you suppose they mean by being unstable. You will need a PSU with the P4 connector if the motherboard has that connector. |
| | Running two anti virus programs is not good, running Norton and any other anti virus at the same time is guaranteed to cause problems. In situations like this you should run you scans in safe mode, you might also want to run scans with [url=http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html]Adaware[/url] and [url=http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/]Asquared[/url].
