5 beeps means precessor error 9 beeps means BIOS checksum error... maybe a bad flash? All should flash the bios using the floppy. Only problem is finding BIOS file for DP35DM model.. Intel doesn't host the BIOS file for that model.

Giving it a wild guess, I would say that the cause is broken drive belt. If the wheels that push the paper are not turning it is either drive belt or the motor. If it is a good printer and you don't want to ruin it any further, maybe getting …

(wromg forum) If you have importaint files stored in it, you can easly retrive them. You can take out HD and put it in another PC, assuming your HD isn't fried aswell. If your PC isn't making any sound, and no leds are turning on, the most probbable cause is …

Sounds like bad memory, overclocked CPU or lack of power.

Looks to me like a problem with HD. Either it is dying or there is a bad cable connection. I suggest that you check on your drive's cable and plug out - plug in the cable. If the errors reappeared after that, do this: Boot with setup CD and choose …

The battery needs to be replaced. It is 6 years old and it is a miracle that it served you this long. Batteries can not be recharged indefinitely. They have life-span well under 6 years. Unless, you mean that it flashes WHILE the adapter is plugged in...That would mean that …

I think that 12V and 5V should not be higher than declared on the PSU. If they were, it would represent a danger for the peripherals. I've heard that the measuring volts by BIOS is very inaccurate. I have ASUS mobo and my ASUS PC Probe reports, and sometime alerts …

You'll need to flash your BIOS. [URL="http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/sa200f0v190.exe"]Here[/URL] is the self-extracting zip archive that contains both windows-based and floppy-based flashing utility and newest BIOS. You need to make a floppy, insert it in your laptop and boot. It will flash your bios and reboot back to normal.

Adding .rar, .uha and .7z extension to the list would be a good idea. They are much more powerful archives than zip.

You should get in BIOS and see what wakes it up.... It might be that nothing can wake it up.... I wake my machine up with power button.

You'll need to write down the stop error you see in that BSOD. name, numbers, filename... anything you see specific to that error. Edit: (doh!) ...and post it here.

If it has a beeper, it should give you beeps when you try to boot with no VGA plugged in. Usually 7 shorts and 1 long beep, but depends on the BIOS. That way you would know that either the VGA is faulty (99%) or incompatible (1%) with the mobo/BIOS.

I suppose that the VGA is on-board, so you can't remove it. Only way to tell if it is CPU, PSU or motherboard is to have another one in working condition for the test. Edit: Did you remove the RAM also?

You probably got the software that came with the modem. There must be configuration utility that prompts you for your user name and password. Try running that utility. I had the same problem last week. All of the drivers and hardware worked perfectly, but my modem somehow "forgot" the user …

HP... Hundred problems Highly perishable Handicapped product Hangover paid-up Hardware pandemonium Hardcore pain I'm out. Q: Is RMA possible?

You should copy-paste hijackthis log here and let me (and others) take a look. It doesn't need to be a virus. Maybe your account on that PC doesn't have permission to change it. Maybe that pic you are trying to set is corrupted.... but first, hijackthis log would do.

You have dead CMOS battery. It is a removable coin-shaped lithium battery beneath the PCI slots.

Soon-to-die memory can eventually cause behavior similar to over-overclocking. Also cheap or old PSU can do the same. (lack of voltage or watts) BUT... 4 seconds delay points to ... (sounds silly, I know) stuck power button. Usually if you press and hold the power button for 4 sec, you …

Ribbons usualy can be reseated at both ends. Maybe dropping it shook one end a bit loose. Try reseating.

One of thiese components could be the cause: - PSU - no way to tell unless you have spare one to test - Motherboard - same as above - CPU - same as above - Memory - running on one stick at the time to see which one is faulty. …

It might be BIOS setting, set to work with original HD (one that used to be attached to the mobo). Try changing the setting to "automatic" or "auto-detect" for each IDE channel (usually, done by loading default BIOS settings), or use the HD detection utility in BIOS if available. If …

That's another way of Google peeking into people's privacy. First they "had to know" what do you look for on the net, but now they want to know who are you talking to... CIA will not tolerate this.

I had similar expiriance with one old machine. Turned out the the CD drive was fryed and kept the system from even making POST. After I unplugged it PC came back to life, minus CD drive.

I had that message on the hourly basis. It is memory compatibility issue. I have GEIL and it is power-hungry RAM. One or the combination of these things should help you: - Manually set memory timings. There is a formula I posted once here that I got confirmed that it …

That quiet click came from monitor. That happens if the mobo isn't powered correctly, assuming that your VGA is on-board. If it is AGP/PCI-E, try reseating it. One other trick: clear CMOS. If you hear any beeps, post them in exact order. Also your mobo manufacturer and model would be …

You can't. That icon is embedded in the .exe file. There are programs that actually do that sort of customizing (microangelo, if I remember correctly), but that means changing the .exe file, and that is a BIG no-no. Copyright, corrupting and such.

Mainboard Model 775i65G. It is AGP x8.

Try this: split the HD in 2 partitions, with first partition using 85% (a healthy portion), and 2nd partition using the rest. You shouldn't have problems formatting 1st partition, while 2nd one you can play with later. Simplest way to split your HD is to use windows setup disc.

You have problem with CD protection. Different games use different protection software. If you post the titles, I might be able to help. BTW, it is not illegal for you, since you bought the titles, to use cracks for those titles. Hey mods, this is not advocating piracy.

Here's my problem: My PC eventually starts making optical drive related problems. Looks like ASPI layer issue, but it isn't. I have ASPI layer tools and utilities and they don't help. Nero has it's own ASPI layer, and reinstalling complete Nero (7.10) doesn't help. I am missing something here, and …

There probbably is a loose connection on RAM chips. Try reseating it.

Simple.. ditch that fan and get yourself a Zelman or Thermaltake. Bigger fan - less RPMs (read: less noise) + they look cool and glow in the dark.

I want to be nearly The Quee..... King of Daniweb.:zzz:

Reading your post I can think of couple of things you can do. My guess is that the refresh rate or screen resolution is not supported by your monitor. Other possibility is (if your VGA looks like [URL="http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=277526"]this[/URL]) that you might have plugged in your monitor in wrong jack. (dual …

I'm not looking into that perticular model, but FSB settings in bios should be adjustable. Also, the memory could limit the FSB to 400.

3 things: 1. wrong forum 2. no nasties 3. no firewall

1 word. CUTE!

OK, guys one problem per thread.. I'm replying to Ensis. The pop probably came from PSU since it is the only part that has enough voltage to make a pop. But the pop could've damaged any component. My suggestion is that you pull everything out except VGA CPU and one …

"No signal" could mean 3 things: - cable not plugged (or loose) - PC won't start - refresh rate not supported by your monitor. That would happen only if you manage to boot into OS. Not before that. Chances are it is second of the above. (first and third usually …

Desktops in transit tend to loosen connections with memory sticks and PCI/AGP cards. Try reseating them. I've seen with my own eyes AGP card completely unplugged after 10 minute ride, and the screw on the card was tightened. Also check motherboard's power cables if they are loose. Is the CPU …

My rep went from two dots to one. What happened?

I've just logged in and I keep seeing that I have 1 unread PM. The truth is that I have 0 unread PMs, but that "1" keeps sticking around. It is not IE/refresh issue. I've tried Firefox, and the same "1" keeps showing (the firefox cache was utterly cleared), so …

It's a second time that I've received notifications for the last 10 days at once. In my CP, without email notification. It happened once before, about week ago.

When you change heatsinks you MUST clean both surfaces on CPU and heatsink, and apply VERY THIN layer of thermal paste, and heatsink must be screwed or clamped on REAL TIGHT, otherwise the heat transmission from CPU to heatsink won't be sufficient to keep the CPU from overheating. That is …

Please post your autoexec.bat, config.sys and msdos.sys. I will try to figure out the problem. Also, useful info would be your hardware (soundcard in particular). PS To be able to see/read those 3 files you would have to check "show hidden files" in folder options.

If you have another operating machine, you could try to bypass the initial phase of windows installation (one that requires booting from CD). What you can do is: - disconnect the HD on your 2nd machine and connect the HD from the 1st one in it. - start installing windows …

Best way to help us help you is that you manage to read that BSOD.

For the black and white gunk (otherwise, known as thermal paste) definitely YES. Clean the back of the heatsink and front of the CPU and apply very thin layer of the "white gunk". It is not overheating CPU, since it needs time to heat up and eventually overheat, by which …
