Did you format the hdd first?

It has been suggested my another member that teens are unjustly stereotyped as being bad drivers. Personally I don't believe this because it conflicts with the current general consensus that the stereotypical bad driver is either a woman or a minority. My contention is that teens aren't bad drivers, but …

First off...use only one anti virus at a time, they do not play well together, especially snorton. With the combination of infections and missing files I would suggest wiping, not a format, the hdd and reinstalling the OS. You can download [url=http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/Disk_Maintenance_and_Repair_Utilities/WipeDrive.html]WipeDrive[/url] for this purpose. If you still have infections …

A couple of things come to mind, have you run scans for infections? Bear in mind that reformatting may not delete some viruses, you will need to either get rid of them by using anti virus, anti spyware...or wipe the hdd and start fresh that way. Reformatting only deletes the …

Out of the seven web sites that I visit or use on a regular basis this site is consistently the slowest to open pages. Granted I'm using a dial up connection that averages 26.4kbps, but the other sites open much faster. Can anyone here explain why this is?

It would be simpler to install the other hdd as a slave drive and transfer the files for the slave to the master. This is very quick and simple.

Chaky...you beat me to the response. I agree, it would not be cost effective to repair the drive.

Have you purchased the hdd yet? Do you have the installation disc with the proper product code for the operation system?

Are you sure that you have the on/off header pins properly wired? There is an interaction that occurs between the PSU and the motherboard when it is first turned on. The motherboard shorts the green wire in the 20/24 pin connector to ground to turn on the PSU. If the …

Try doing a last known good configuration.

I noticed that you don't mention the manufacturer of the PSU, this is the heart of you system, don't skimp there. Stick to a recognized name brand. I have to admit to being a die hard fan of AMD, but at the moment the Core 2 Duo is the best …

Most CPU fans run all of the time, some are thermostatically controlled for operating speed but still run all of the time.

Image shack is having a problem with ME, I will try to correct this...don't hold your breath.

If this computer is still under warranty you would be better off letting HP replace the fan as finding one to replace it with could be a real problem.

If it didn't take it out introducing the hdd to the chipset of another motherboard could corrupt the OS.

ECC is error correcting RAM which typically was found in servers and is slower because of the extra chip monitoring the others. Motherboards that run on PC133 could be picky about what RAM they would like to see, the cas latency and voltage should be ok but you may have …

It would help if you provided a little more information, like what the components were? Did you buy any chance add a hdd from another system to a different motherboard?

What is the difference between electromigration and thermal hysteresis?

How is it listed in the BIOS?

Dang...a thread that actually has intellectual merit and doesn't include the word game in the title. The question that comes to mind is if they are willing to release this information now, what is coming hot on it's heels that is going to make this information obsolete?

Change the CMOS battery.

You can use the recovery console to repair or replace the boot initiating file. Instructions can be found [url=http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/repairbootini.htm]here[/url].

Care to let us know just what the rest of the system specs are?

Have you run any scan for infections?

Did you install the drivers for the motherboard? Are you using the onboard video? I don't have time at the moment to download your manual, so do us a favor and see what you have for default setting in the BIOS for the onboard video vs a PCI or PCI-E …

From what I've seen the rep rating system is only useful as a popularity poll supported by the members. There is no criteria that needs to be met, no guides lines go by, and I suspect that most members are as oblivious as I am of it. Just more eye …

Was this fan a case fan or the one on the CPU heat sink? When the fan died did the computer shut down? Does the fan in the PSU run? Does the fan on the CPU heat sink run? Are the LEDs on the motherboard or case on? You wrote …

[QUOTE=jbennet;353749]Frankly RAID isnt worth it. Neither is putting the swapfile on a seperate partition. The only time youll see a boost in that department is if you put the swapfile on a seperate physical disk. Get a PCI cooler or upgrade your fans and thermal compound. The HT is easialy …
