Well, then. Put everything back into its original case--and everything's working perfectly so far. So it was some sort of connection error or incompatibility, I guess, with my case, or something I put on the motherboard. It's just an Antec 500W Power supply (that worked perfectly 2 days ago...

Normally just a few seconds. It did it this morning, though, with the mobo having power all night, and turning it on after hours of sitting with the power off. Then I hit the power button with a few seconds in between each press, and eventually it works. As I said, when I get home (once I...

Hey folks, I'm a bit at a loss. I recently bought this computer: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ol...&cp=1&id=1204331848110 for $411, must have been on clearance or something. However, I wanted to use some of my own parts in it, and the case they gave me was of the MicroATX variety, so I...

I got the Cooler Master Ammo from a friend, and he only had enough rails for one HDD, which was fine at the time. However, I have 2 more HDDs I just got, and I'd like to be able to put those in, too. Apparently I can use the one 3.5" bay for one, and I guess I can buy one or two of those...

Bay Networks got gobbled up by Nortel some time ago, I don't know how much they support the old switches. They're well out of warranty I'm sure. There are some spanning tree options in the switches, this was all set up while I was still in middle school (!), all the original network...

I look occasionally, but I rarely get any errors that are worth anything. I'll be looking more and more, though. It seems after a power cycle, though, that a lot of the cache is cleared. The one I just tried was a BayStack 310. Are there any specific tools we could run during the day to...

Hi all, Probably not the most professional or even the best place to ask this, but I know there's some good minds on these forums. I work part-time along with one full-time employee managing an entire Public School District. I'm still in college, and neither of us are 100% trained, but we...

Absolutely. The processor is an Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+, 2.0Ghz (not the best processor, but it shouldn't be causing problems), 2GB of DDR400 RAM, the video card is a newly purchased 8800GT that is GREAT as long as I reboot the computer before starting one of these games (and I can assume...

Hey folks, I thought this might be the place to ask this question. I have a very odd issue with certain PC games when I run them on my newly-rebuilt AMD 939 rig. When playing some games (Guitar Hero III, Crysis Demo), after the computer has been on and running for a few hours, these games...

I bought an X1950GT 256MB AGP card when Newegg had them for $120. It worked fine, but my CPU was a bit of a bottleneck in games such as Oblivion. Half Life 2 maxed very nicely, though. As a sidenote, I'm looking to get rid of that card now that I have a rig given to me with a dual-core...

I've blamed the PSU for a while now, but maybe it is the mobo. I don't see how it could be anything else..but it' still odd. Since this "fun", everything's been working perfectly--no beeping, no lost settings, no burning metal...nothing. Gah, too many possiblilties :-p Anyways...

Yes, the little power connector is into the mobo. The beeping I may have been a bit lacking in description--it makes long beeps, and it continues until I shut off the system. Then the BIOS tells me that the "CPU must be re-setting" or something in not-so-good english, so I have to go into...

Hiya. I have an Antec 380W power supply, that came with my case, the Sonata. When I bought this case, I knew that Antec supplies were good, and I thought 380W could cover what I needed. I have a GeForce 6600GT, 1GB RAM, a Chaintech Sound Card, a PCI Wireless adapter, running on an...

Hi, I currently have just builf a new computer. Runs great. There is only one problem--when I shut it down through Windows, it does not completely shut off. The HDD and Power LEDs shut off, but the back fan remains on, and the front case LEDs stay on as well. This had not happened...

Thanks, just what I needed to know. :-)
