Hi, I'm connected to an ADSL2+ PPOE connection, through a router. Every once in a while, my internet will disconnect, and I'll have to reboot my modem and unplug my router for a minute to get it to reconnect. We can sometimes go a whole week without this happening, at other times, it'll happen...

Today I just received an error on boot: "CPU fan error! Press F1 to enter setup". I'm thinking this may be just that it thinks the fan is running too slow, but then again, I had a computer once that just went caput after about a month of this warning. How seriously should I take this?

OK, thanks for the advice, guys! At what temperatures should I consider removing the low-noise adaptor? With my CPU running at 0-3%, I get core temps averaging about 44 C (111 F). While running Prime95 stress test, the cores go up to about 60C (140 F), after running for about 45 seconds. I...

Hi, I just installed a new CPU cooler, I replaced the cooler that came with the CPU with a new NH-U12S cooler. In the instructions it said: "If you're using the low noise adaptor, use some software to find out if your cpu is running too hot. If it is, stop using the adaptor." With no real help...

Hi, I'm in Canada, and I really wanted to see John Stewart's full interview of John Yoo, but I can't, because the daily show website has the full interviews. Canadians can only use Comedynetwork.ca, which doesn't have the full interview, just a chopped up version. I've tried using a bunch of...

Thank you. Here's my log:

I was wondering if anyone ever got this problem before. Gmail has worked fine on my computer (running XP) for ages, but suddenly, I get this: "your chats cannot be sent" messages, and frequent delays when opening email, AND I can't even send email. On my laptop, running vista, it works fine. It...

I have my router, a Dlink Dir-615. I can connect wirelessly to it just fine with my XP desktop. As soon as I configure it however, I can no longer access it wirelessly, and neither can my room-mates(though my Vista laptop can for some reason). I have to reset it to factory settings just to be...

I used a headset for voice recording, and it broke (the mic, anyway). I bought a new one, and the sound quality from my recordings are starting to deteriorate now. At least I've got the receipt this time, but this is really annoying! What's going on? How does recording my voice keep breaking my...

Once it's empty...the jet heads can become clogged with dry ink. Remove the cartridge and clean the jet heads on the bottom with a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol. Reinsert the cartridge and run the "Clean Head" option in lenmarks printer utility. If the ink has dryed inside the cartridge jet...

Hey there, I'm a student, and I own a Lexmark X85 all-in-one. Its a pretty nifty machine, but now its become useless because my black ink cartridge is out. I checked at the Lexmark website to find that a black cartridge costs 36.99 American (That's like: $54 Canadian!). With that price, I could...
