    pc won't power up

    For what it's worth... there is a good article in CPU (computer power user) April 2005 edition on SLI mobos. The 3 systems tested all use 600W PSU's. I found another article that showed no booting of SLI boards until you get up to a 510w PSU at least.

    Can't boot to OS

    To Montag451: A repair - installation of the OS has fixed the problem. Still would love to know what triggered the problem ??? Because after the fix, I ran Virus and Spyware scans and found nothing that would cause such a problem.

    Can't boot to OS

    PC1 XP Pro. No recent changes to hardware or software and has been good for the past 14 months. The raid indications are that both drives are OKay and synced. That appears early in the post and bootup sequence. May try a repair reload before reformating and reloading. Sometimes I'm too...

    Can't boot to OS

    I have no reason to suspect any known virus and I keep my virus scanners up-to-date. But; who knows maybe something got past it or it is a new poison not yet in the scanners updated list. Thanks for the reply MechBegon. You helped me a few years back when I was just getting started in this...

    Can't boot to OS

    During bootup; I get the screen with various choices: normal ; last known good; safe mode; etc. None of the choices work; just loops back to the same screen of choices. Any suggestions? Is this likely due to any known virus? Is it time for a format and reload?

    So far everything looks good. No smoke and the HDD led indicates it is still processing. I did unplug the power to the monitor first.

    Can you run the PC without a Monitor

    I have a PC that is always on. Can I disconnect the monitor while the PC is running without doing any harm to either the MB or the monitor ? I know you can do damage if you disconnect a PS2 connected device; but unsure if that applies to the Monitor. The Monitor is LCD type.

    A7N8X-E-Dlx need Bios 1009

    I used ASUS update to flash my Bios to 1013. It appeared to be successful, but at the reboot request it didn't recover. It gets as far as the WinXP splash and progress bar, doesn't load, and then gives me the Safe Mode screen. I've tried all the options on that screen; but it just recycles to...

    Pot head friend broke his PC.

    Dopefiend: You are assuming the Monitor CRT is still able to produce an electron stream. I'm assuming the 200hz fried the CRT's electron gun.

    regcleaner help

    I 'googled' your DLL files. (DLL=DataLinkLibrary) The a3dapi.ddl has something to do with 3d gaming. deskpan.dll looks like something to do with scripting. ADMWPROX.DLL appears to be a program to fix broken or missing dll's. I didn't get a find on the last one. Google is pretty good at...
