Help! Computer won't turn on!

Were they any thunderstorms or anything while you were gone? You might try another power supply if you have one. You could also try taking everything out but vid card and c drive to see if that helps. You also might want to check your mobo manual or manufacturers website to see if it's a...

Poll: Does this guy deserve a SMACK?

With people like that i have come to realize that they don't know that computers are powered by electricity. They are run by magic. And you gave him bad juju. When something doesn't work they don't go...well, maybe something is loose or failed......To them the whole computer is a piece of crap.

I finally got my 1st system built! What do you think?

Take a look at this article http://www.tweak3d.net/articles/howtobuildapc3/3.shtml . Also, as it says copying the cab folder off of the win98 disc is a great timesaver. After copying the cabs to whatever directory use banishi.exe to make windows look at that area first instead of having to...

Is 57kb/sec a good download speed?

Energenie, i feel your pain/excitement. I set up my cable modem the first month it was available in my town. Going from dial-up to cable is great (i'm assuming that's what you did). But i have cable down, phone up...so it isn't as fast as it could be. My lowest speed (down) is 250 and...

Always getting errors when loading UT

When i first got ut i had aproximately the same system. P3600, 128 mb pc100, 30 gig, and v3 3000. I never had the problems that you have. And it's really strange that ut eventually works. You would think that it would either work or not. Ok, this might be constructive. You have 320 of ram...
