Lol. Yeah, I ran scandisk and it found a few bad sectors. Doesn't seem like it's running rampant like the last hard drive that failed on me. Anyway, good ol scandisk moved the data from the bad areas and everything seems to be running fine now. Defrag no longer hangs and laptop is sailing...

So I'm trying to do a disk defragment for my laptop running Windows XP Home. I first just selected analyze my c drive and it just like sat at the 5% mark for a long long time, like 7 minutes or so. Anyway, it FINALLY went ahead and finished analyzing the drive and said that I didn't need to...

resat cpu, regreased, still locking up and yes, i did reformat the hdd when switching everything around. Someone else on a different message board said that 512 sticks of 266 crucial ram had problems with the a7n8x-x. Have any of you heard of this? I think getting a new stick of ram would be...

Thanks for the help.

I have a fortron source 300 w power supply. The rails on it seem fine from the little asus utility.

Jeez, it's so annoying. My old motherboard had failed so I went out and got a new one the a7n8x-x and got new ddr memory too since the other mobo was running that old via 133a chipset or whatever where you would just use 133 ram. Anyway, I put it all back together and now I keep getting random...

So I guess it's probably the motherboard that's messed up now. I mean if that was working and something else was at fault it should be giving me a series of beeps to let me know what else was wrong, right? Oh well, I think it's time to upgrade and see what I can do with the limited funds that...

Yeah, actually I did try that and still got the same bull crap, so I guess I need a new mobo probably. I wasn't aware that I should still be getting a bios screen even without hard drive connected though. I was having issues with the system before I put it away which I thought were due to the...

Okay, so I just pulled my old computer out from the corner it has been resting in for the past 8 months or so and decided to try and start her back up. Anyway, first I plug everything back in like it should be set up and hit the power button and the fans all spin up and the lights come on and...

I would do what you suggested but unfortunately I don't have the resources (aka friends with similar setups) so I am still wondering what to do. I was just curious if this sounded like a power problem or mobo problem mostly and hopefully its not something deeper.

Okay here is the deal, I think the problem is with my motherboard but since I don't have any way to check I don't want to go out and get a new one and then still experience all the same problems so I'm looking to hear what you guys have to say. The dvd drive one day just stopped being...

Is it possible to get Windows Media Player to start playing automatically the last playlist you were listening to after simply clicking the windows media player open icon? I want to get it to always play my playlist automatically instead of having to double click a song or playlist first.

Okay, here's the situation... My Toshiba laptop has a little front panel on it with some play/pause, next, buttons on the face to allow the playing of media (cd's or mp3's) without having to have your computer open (or even on in the case of cd's). My laptop basically looks like THIS and as you...

thank you, that works well
