Wow, I was wrong about not being able to save money on a build. I found some DIY combos on newegg. Any opinions on a package like this?:

Hi all,
My last build was about 7 or 8 years ago (the details of that machine are in my signature). I have been very happy with the performance of this computer, but it's time to upgrade to a...

Ah, I didn't realize that it was one or the other. I haven't built a machine since PCIe came out. Good to know. Thanks for your help.

No, it's an AGP card. My mobo is in my signature and it doesn't have a PCIe slot

I'm thinking about buying this computer:

I tried that and instead of completing, the screen goes black. Do you think it could still complete, and just not be showing me? But then it will eventually get to a point where I'd need to enter...

Ok I did something stupid I think. Before I read Midknyte's post above, I tried to repair the XP installation, and it begins the xp install process, gets to the point where it says "setup will...

Thanks Supersparks, but aren't those tests for a tower? Wouldn't a laptop power supply would be different because it goes through the battery? Or are they the basically the same?

Just tried system restore, no dice. Also, it's weird but it seems to still be in a restart loop, even though I turned that off the auto-restart option.
I noticed that limewire's on this machine,...

Working on a friend's laptop. She said her daughter was moving pictures from a flash drive to the HD, when the computer suddenly shut itself off. She removed the flash drive then turned it back on...

I'll open it up and check the capacitors, thanks.
Also, I noticed that the disks on ebay all have different service packs. I suspect this computer originally didn't come with SP2, so if I buy an...

Would it have to be a special "Dell OEM" or would any OEM XP cd work with that key?

Unfortunately she doesn't have the Dell xp cd that came with the computer. Isn't that always the case when someone asks you to fix their machine? :(
Anyway, I'm sure I can probably borrow an XP...

Hi all, I offered to fix this lady's computer but it has me stumped.
Shortly after the welcome screen, the whole screen goes blank. I am not talking about the infamous blue screen of death. This...

but

Hi all, a friend just asked me a question and I wanted to verify before I gave her the wrong answer.
Her hard drive broke and she is buying a new one. She has recovery disks, but she wanted to...

Hi all,
I'm one of the few people left on this planet that does not have a DVR yet. I'm philosophically opposed to paying a monthly fee to get one from the cable or satellite company, and was...

IT WAS THE BATTERY AFTER ALL!
I feel stupid for not trying it earlier, but I took the battery completely out and left the AC adapter plugged in and the computer stays powered up now. For some...

Yup, just went into BIOS and it shut off again. I tried starting it just on battery power, without the adapter, and it wouldn't power on at all. But I wonder if the battery just isn't charged. So...

Ok I downloaded the recovery console, burned it to a cd, and had the laptop boot to the cd, I got into the recovery console far enough to discover that there is an administrator password on this...

Ah, darn. He doesn't have the windows CD's. The laptop came with Windows installed and no cd's. I assume that means the windows installation is on a special partition on the hard drive.
This is...

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried safe mode and the same thing happened. It shut itself off shortly after I got to the desktop.
Now I'm really perplexed. If it were a heating issue it...

The jack for the adapter fits snugly, there's no play.
Also, I can't download and install that speedfan software because the computer shuts off before I can get anything done.
Basically, it's...

It's an HP pavillion DV5000.
Now that I've gotten my hands on it, I see that it has a bigger problem than the DVD drive. The darn thing shuts itself off constantly. I thought it was a heating...

Hi Guys, I've built desktop computers before but don't have much experience working on laptops. Now a friend of mine has a HP laptop with a bad DVD drive and he wants me to replace it.
Is it...
