    Not Enough Storage Available

    Clean Build, Totally Different Server I've started manually setting the DNS and WINS on the machines to the 2k3 Server. The problems seem to subside or at least are reduced. Could it be that the NT Server was acting as a WINS/DNS nameserver for the organization? I think thats a little far...

    Computers Keep Failing

    Yeah, if you unplug and reset the device, it'll flicker again then go out. So i'm assuming its the PSU? I guess i could just replace the psu, but i'm debating if I just wanna throw the working components into a microATX case... However if i do that, I lose the windows license.... I'll...

    Computers Keep Failing

    I have a few computers that I've built for myself. They're MSI Mega 180's. They run p4 533fsb and maxtor hd's and kingston value ram. I've had 3 computers so far just konk out and die. They will suddenly not start up one day. You'll press the power button and the light will flicker and then...

    pc randomly shuts off but is still running...

    Good to hear. I've had very very very big problems with Powmax. They really give you the impression of a quality product with their PSU chassis but its really just crap. I once had a POWMAX, and it really POWED on me. I turn it on one day in one of my machines and it STARTS BLAZING....LITERALLY...

    Can't boot into safe mode? Why?

    Before you reinstall try some data recovery tools as Knoppix and/or BartsPE or Windows PE (UX). A google search should define some of those for you.

    Windows XP Won't Boot

    It seems to me that windows setup didn't finish successfully. It shouldn't do any harm to do another in place install. Try that...Should help.

    CD-ROMs not being detected

    Go to start, run type "sfc /scannow" without quotes. It will check windows files and make sure they're not corrupted. If that doesn't work do an install ontop of the existing windows installation via "repair" function. That should do that trick.

    Does System Restore slows down windows?

    System Restore is succeptible to ad-aware and spyware and in most cases can infect the system. I'd disable it for the reason and that reason only. Its intentions were good, just its implementation poor. Thats the life story of M$.

    Comp Tech is Stumped?! Having an off day...

    I've been using those cases with built in standoffs for the longest time...I bought like 20 of them off pricewatch and I just ran out. I'll be using them now. And FYI I use 4 screws for the HD's. I can't believe this thread stayed alive overnight. :D

    Hard Drive issue? What do you think?

    Yeah, Sounds like a hard drive issue...They're old hard drives, they might not have the response times you want. The backup could be holding things up. Try booting without it and see what happens, The delay inside the backup might cause windows to wait for it.
