If the pc is able to start up sometimes, then I think it is the PSU. But it is just a guess. You should try to replace the psu, or try it in another pc, to be sure. :)

I believe your cd/dvd burner need a little more power than you can provide with a single usb 2.0 connector. You need a usb-wire like this: [img]http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/Images/reviews/usbfever-2xcable/resize/USBCable1.jpg[/img] (thank you google, and usbfever.com :) ) You can probably use an usb-hub IF it have it's own power source. Otherwise it will …

I agree that it sounds like the motherboard can't pass the self test. But it might not necessarily be expensive to fix. At my work we have some sales personel, occasionally breaking an USB-connector on the motherboard, which will often result in a short circuit from the pins to ground …

You don't have to format the disk before recovering your data. try this recovery software: [url]http://www.piriform.com/recuva/download[/url] or this: [url]http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/[/url] You will need some temporary room for all the files that you need to save, so you might have to borrow or buy another usb-disk for that purpose. Later, when you …

it depends on what system - try to type help in the prompt, and then you will get a list of possible commands for your particular version of OS

Try this, open the original email -> right click on the photo, and select "save as" or "save" on the menu, and save the picture in a folder where you can find it, and attach it to the new email. I know it isn't the easy way, but I think …

It might still be a hardware issue, even if it isn't located directly in the keyboard. I suggest you try to boot from a linux-distro cd, or hirens boot cd, to test if the error is persistent. If not a hardware issue, I think you should first try to create …

I would try with [url=http://www.runtime.org/]GetDataBack[/url] You might not get it all back, but with a little luck it can recover some of it. And stop using the hdd/pc that you need to recover data from - best to use another pc, since windows will randomly use any space on the …

I suggest you read this, on how and why electronic parts degrade in time. [url]http://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/processors/transistor-aging[/url] One very likely possibility though, is that the faulty ram can't keep up with the speed anymore. :)

If you pc isn't going into BSOD as soon as you plug in the AC adapter, it might not be related to that. a BSOD 15 minutes later, can be anything else. :) The error suggest a driver issue, and you should search for updated drivers. I am using SlimDrivers …

okay, lots of possible reasons for this error. ;) 1. Check that cpu and ram is seated properly, and see if you didn't accidentally have bend a pin in the cpu socket (can be very hard to see, but try to look anyway) All the ram out and re-seat them. …

I agree that it is time for a new pc, with those specs. :) I would probably buy something like this pc, if it was for my self. [url]http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/lenovo-g570-15-6-laptop-black-10747085-pdt.html[/url] What I think is important, is that you find a decent brand, and look for the processor model used. Intel core …

I guess your gpu get's too hot, to continue working properly. Check if the gpu fan is running properly, and if the gpu heatsink is clean and dust free. You don't want any dust and dirt to block the airflow on the gpu heatsink. :) You can also download [url=http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/]the …

You have to set the ram frequency in the bios manually, and maybe also the right timings. I think the reason for this, is that 1333 MHz are the maximum default for the processor. :)

Can you run an exe file in cmd? If you can - then download [url=http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html]malwarebytes antimalware[/url] and run the full scan. It will most likely remove the .exe-hijack. :) Otherwise, you can try to use system restore.

I believe you have connected the usb case connector to an IEEE 1394a (firewire) connector on the motherboard - that would explain why you burned the stick. Always consult the motherboard manual about where to connect case wires, unless it is obvious where they should connect. The IEEE 1394a connector …

Don't you need a graphics card for the POST check? As far as I can see, there is no on-board graphics on that board. If that is the case, it will explain why the "missing" cpu won't make a difference. :) Otherwise, I agree with rubberman, that you should send …
