    Computer won't boot!

    So it looks like using the restore disk and reformatting is the way to go. Any other suggestions?

    Computer won't boot!

    I have never messed with the bios in the e-machine so they should be at the default setting. Tried putting original modem card in with same results. Yes I grounded myself before removing the card.

    Computer won't boot!

    Not sure which forum this fits in; however, I just recently upgraded my psu so I figured this one would do. Now my problem is on an old e-machine. I turn it on and it automatically goes to a black screen that says it could not boot successfully which may be due to new hardware. If your...

    Power supply question

    Well it doesn't shut off while cooling down. The other thing I noticed is that when the system shuts down the Hard disk drive access indicator light stays on along with the PSU but everything else shuts down. So far I have just been turning the psu switch off when done with the computer. I've...

    Power supply question

    Guess I should have added that with the original PSU it started doing the same thing when it used to shut off; plus it was telling my I did not have enough power for a usb connection even though there were no usb components plugged in. I took the original 250W PSU out and noticed a capacitor...

    modem installation frustration.

    Tried other slots with no success. I get 1 long and 2 short beeps on start up. Which is a monitor or display card error. However, everything works perfectly with the modem not installed.

    modem installation frustration.

    Not yet. The fan from the vid card blocks one slot and I have USB/firewire taking up my other one. Think I will move usb/firewire port up one and try that one.

    Neverwinter nights on dial-up?

    Don't live in the country. Last 4 years I did and could not get high speed. Now it is the fact that I'm gone quit a bit because of work so not really around to benefit from the cost until later this year. I hear Guild Wars might run ok so I might try that. Thanks for the help.

    Neverwinter nights on dial-up?

    Anyone played it on dial-up? Is it playable and hows the lag? Trying to find out before buying because high speed is not coming in the near future. Thanks

    Cheap Computer Build

    I agree with Ridyln that you can do better. I paid $700.00 recently for the computer in my sig including floppy and asus cd burner which was roughly $35.00 of the $700. Take the extra 35 and get a 6800gs. Although, the x1600pro is not bad either.

    Need help. Problems formatting

    Problem solved. Went to gigabyte website and downloaded needed drivers onto a floppy. Now officially up and running with 2nd partition formatting now. This proves if I can build a successful computer anyone can. Thanks for the help.

    Need help. Problems formatting

    The only thing that should be plugged into the HD is the SATA cable and the SATA power cord correct? Also since I have a SATA HD and only one other cd drive does it matter on the master/slave switch for either?
