I'll reseat everything when I get a chance. My keyboard and mouse are plugged directly into the computer. I mentioned that they don't turn on because it doesn't look like any power is going through any of the USB ports. I have a wireless USB device that should be lighting up as well, but it...

About a month ago, my 1.5 year old build began to have problems POSTing. The hardware: Gigabyte P35-DS3L C2D E4400 Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 2GB (2x1GB) (rated for 2.2V, but running at 1.8/2.2 does not seem to make a difference) ATI X1950 PRO WD 250GB...

I don't want to upgrade right now because if I upgrade I'm going to want to do it right and spend around $1500, but I can't justify spending that much when I really don't game that much anymore. So what do you mean about a real AGP slot? I really just need a little boost so I can play HL2 and...

I have no problem with OCing so I'll probably go that route. What's wrong with the xclio? It seems to be getting pretty good reviews.

Any help?

Edited my post with a new question and a preliminary system build.

Last time I upgraded was 5 years ago and well my system has become sluggish to say the least. I do a few things on my computer: light gaming (CS:S and Farcry are the most intensive it gets), listening to music, and watching movies. I recently graduated and got a job so now that I actually have...

I turned on my laptop today and it checked through the memory OK etc, but when it was time to load windows xp a few (7-8) random symbols appeared in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Does anyone know what this means? Is my harddrive corrupt? Thanks, -Packin-
