Strange Problem at Shutdown

Thanks for the input, Nocturn. The PSU fan is definitely stopped. But if on the numlock, caps lock and scroll lock all remain on after shutdown. As far as I have observed, they never turn off. Very annoying. As I originally noted, mine is a Shuttle SFF package that uses a heat pipe...

Strange Problem at Shutdown

My keyboard is PS-2 so the light is getting it's power from the motherboard. One thing noticable is that the shut down is very fast (10 sec) compared to another computer also running Win 98 SE (30 to 60 Sec) which led me to wonder about it going into some kind of hibernate mode, but I just...

Strange Problem at Shutdown

Thanks for your input. The shutdown I use is the standard mouse click on the start button and selection of the shut down button. This is is what I have always used in the past . . . without this problem. I agree that it appears as though it is in a hibernate mode but it does not wake up...

Strange Problem at Shutdown

If the Numlock is on before I begin a normal shutdown sequence, numlock light remains on after shut down. This operation is independent of whether I turn numlock on manually or set on at bootup in bios. The same thing happens with the capslock and scroll lock lights. When the computer is...

Moving Freecell

Unfortunately, it looks like it doesn't keep track. I kind of wanted to know if I did all 32000 games but if it doesn't keep track, I sure don't want to. It seems that it would have been a pretty simple programming task to keep track. So far I've won 22040, lost 4143 and have an 87 win...

Moving Freecell

Thanks. I assumed it was in the registry but have been somewhat reluctant to screw with it. I'll give that a try. In an allied question, there are 32000 possible games (combinations of card placements) and I have always taken it on faith that Freecell has been keeping track of the actual...

Moving Freecell

I am phasing out my old computer, starting a new one and trying to incorporate all my old info into the new installation. Virtually all has been transfered successfully except for one item. I am a Freecell addict and have logged many games on the old computer. Freecell maintains the full...

Firefox sometimes not loading properly

I have the same experience except It seems more like 40% of the time. I haven't identified the cause though.

Power Supply Failure?

I took suggestion of jadinolf and got a functional tester from Newegg. Their usual outstanding service got it to me this afternoon (9/21). The supply is stone dead. These things are in a very compact package (SFF)and I wonder if they get more heat stress as a result. Anyone else had...

Power Supply Failure?

Thanks. I'll try to see if there is any life in it at all. I assume these supplies don't like to work into no load.

Power Supply Failure?

I have a Shuttle SK41G SFF that has been working for several years. Yesterday when I attempted to power on, absolutely nothing happens; no lights, no action. Using an ohmeter, I confirmed that the power switch is closing when pushed, so I am suspecting the power supply may have gone south...
