Question Weird problem

Sorry, I meant power on. If the heatsink is on the CPU and you hit the power button, it doesn’t power on if the CPU is plugged in. Unplug the CPU with the heatsink on it, I get lights and spinning fans. If I remove the heatsink from the CPU and plug the CPU back in, it will power on. I’m trying...

Question Weird problem

I don’t think so. It doesn’t boot even if the heat sink isn’t plugged in. This is why I’m so stumped. If the heat sink is sitting on top of the CPU the machine will not boot. I’ve unplugged everything but one stick of ram, the plug to power the mobo and CPU, and the header that operates the...

I’ve already replaced both the mobo and the CPU. It still doesn’t boot.

Question Weird problem

Hey everyone. I’m rebuilding my computer and I’m having a strange issue with it. It won’t turn on at all when the cooler is seated on the processor. I have an AMD FX 9590 processor, an Asus M5A78L mobo, and a Scythe Katana 4 cooler. It doesn’t matter if the cooler is plugged in or not, if it’s...

A video card for Battlefield 3

A friend of mine asked me to help him build a system to run Battlefield 3. He's buying everything fresh and wants to be able to run the game on max settings. He hasn't yet picked out any other components because of the GPUs the game recommends. Both of which are total budget busters for him. He...

Keeping an oveheating CPU cool

All fans are dust free and spinning properly. That was the first thing that I checked. I've had some over heating issues in the past, when I first moved into my new place which unfortunately completely lacks air conditioning. Last year, pulling the side off and using a table top fan did the...

Keeping an oveheating CPU cool

I have an Athlon Phenom X4 processor that has decided to start overheating and turning my computer off. I need to get the stupid thing cooled off before it fries itself, but funds are a bit tight at the moment so I'm uncertain about the most cost effective way to fix this issue. I'm using the...

Motherboard dying?

I've been having issues with my desktop for about a week or so. It would boot up fine cold, work great for a few minutes, then it would just freeze and be totally unresponcive. When I tried rebooting it, the lights would come on like it was thinking but there were no beeps from the mobo and...

Multimedia build

My roommates and I are wanting to build a computer that we can hook to the TV and watch movies, Hulu, Netflix and the like on. One of my roomies would also like to use it to play little flash games on when no one's using it for TV. Gaming machines I can build easy, but I have no clue what to put...

Pc desks...?

I used to work at staples and we had that desk there. I never measured it, but it hit me at just below the hip and I'm 5'2". The shelf is only about 2 inches off the desk too. You'd probably get about 32-34 inches of spaces from the top of the desk to the floor. It is a little bit taller than...

How cheap can you do it?

It originally came with XP home, the OS it has now is XP Pro and is a retail version. Also, the dell os disk isn't tied to the hardware, or at least I've never seen one that is. It's the driver disks that are tied to the hardware. I've used an OS disk to install XP on several machines...

Please refer to my above post: "And that's because the OS isn't the one that originally came with the dell."
