    Help, computer is not starting!

    When I start my computer, it starts for about 5 seconds, then just turns off, then starts again then off again and so on. No beeps or sounds, it just does that over and over again. I have a separate HDD for boot up. Does it sound like a failure of the power supply, HDD or even the MB...

    Tuniq Tower with stock fan or scythe slipstream?

    I have a Tuniq tower and also a 1900rpm scythe slipstream. If i was to switch the fan to the slipstream, would I see better cooling or would it be quieter with the same amount of cooling? I plan to plug the fan into a fan controller as well with either fan. Thanks in advance

    Upgrade Vista Ultimate 32bit to 64bit?

    I can buy a 32-bit vista ultimate version at a very discounted price from a university store. So could I theoretically use a friend's 64-bit vista ultimate dvd and use the key on the 32-bit vista DVD from the university book store and have the 64-bit vista work?

    ADATA 4gb SD not recognized

    I just recently bought an ADATA 4gb secure digital card 150x. On my pocket pc, it seems to recognize it because it asked if I wanted to format it, but when I plug it into my SD/MMC adapter on my laptop, it does not seem to recognize it as it does not show up in file explorer. It recognizes my...
