I do not have the Vista CD/DvD because all newer computers bought nowadays the OS comes integrated in the system, so my Vista CD/DvD is nonexsistant. I did some...

    problem with my secondary HD

    Bus cable? If you mean IDE cable (the flat wide one) then make sure both of your DVD and HDD are set on slave, if either one is set to master, you might be having conflict with your SATA drive and your IDE drive(s).

    *sigh* another major issue with my computer

    You can eliminate the bad drivers since it is happening with the old and new Video Cards, also the Power Supply is fine since it really has nothing to do with showing images... Also another thing I just thought of, DVD/CD drive... If its not reading it properly then you are going to have major...

    *sigh* another major issue with my computer

    Hey! Here is a reply! It really seems like a processor issue dude... Its not translating to the screen right away is what it looks like... I would not pass on the bad video card just yet, and the funny thing is it might have been the Motherboard this whole time. My instructor here at my school...

    Need help indentifying and finding a solution to convert this USB wire.

    The head is Mini USB. That connector is used for PDA's and smartphones... I don't know why they need it for the keyboard, maybe PDA's use keyboards now, I don't know. Anyway, finding the connector will be very difficult, I am sure not immpossible, but not easy. If you can, I recommend returning...

    Old Compaq Screams In Pain!!

    Yeah, something most people know is that the motherboard/speaker have beeping codes to identify the problem. If its a long, continuous beeping, it might be some of the RAM failing... or a part of the RAM (if there is only one stick). It could be the hard drive, but if its making that kind of...

    Harddrive won't recognize full capacity...

    Kyotaka (sp?) wrote this in another bulletin, I think this will help This is known as the 127GB barrier. I'm guessing you installed windows with a CD that wasn't SP2 and just manually added the service pack. You'll need to use Nlite to add sp2 onto your windows CD and then install it freshly...

    1st post....1st major problem :( (longish)

    From what you described, Look inside the 20-pin connector and see if there is a connector that is bad, and you might just have to fiddle with it. Along with the bad wire, since you were messing with things while the Power supply is on, you might have shorted out the board. But that is also...

    320GB HDD showing only 298

    you really should not lose that many gigs when reformatting. When my 100gig became corrupt, I had to reformat and I still have around 96gigs. If you haven't tried it already, slave it to XP and format it through My computer, it should recover some of the lost gigs... Cause you really shouldn't...

    My new PC, please comment

    Yeah, overall its an ok build for what you are using it for. I also agree with b1gapl, that other card would do better, to be honest I am not sure how much better, but reading up on it, everyone I know is not a fan of the budget 8600gts. Don't worry though it will work. Anyway, next build throw...
