    Changed from Q6600 to E8400, now system won't boot up

    If it was booting up with the q6600 reinserted, I would have said the BIOS update fix. But since it's not, most likely motherboard is bad.

    Computer won't readily post, but restarts fine...

    I'm willing to bet the RAM was not seated properly.

    hdmi vs dvi to hdmi

    DVI only has video, HDMI has both video and sound. If you only need it for your monitor, use the one that looks better.

    Laptop screen very dark

    You may have a tough time with this, better chance of ordering a new LCD harness (cable that goes from motherboard to LCD/inverter).

    Does a Windows password slow Windows load?

    So for the past year I have not been using a Windows password on my personal PC. Recently I decided to change that. However, it seems that right after I did that it caused Windows to take an extra 10-20 seconds to load. Is this normal?

    Which font to use in the professional world?

    Need a second opinion before I spend some dough

    I'd really recommend trying a hard drive first before a board; to me it really sounds like a hdd failure in some way, shape, or form. Hard drives can fail in multiple ways, and SMART is really not the best indicator of a hdd failure. You mentioned it clicked a couple times... so yea... go for...

    Wife's laptop shuts off when you tilt it back

    Sounds like to me it was a shorting issue - once you tilted it back, two (somethings) made contact and caused it to power down. A loose screw or metal piece inside the notebook usually is the culprit. Sounds like as you disassembled it you got rid of whatever was causing the short. So I know...

    GTX 295 Problem - No Video

    Most likely. Do you have all the power cords you need going to it? I think that card requires 2 x6's (12 pins total). Also, if you have a multimeter, test for voltages and see if that's the problem.
