Ok, after pulling out the bottom card, it booted with no problem. I then plugged the card back in and hooked up the crossfire bridges and it also booted. I think the issue might be with the crossfire or ATI's drivers. My dad has been having a lot of problems with the crossfire, so I might...

Thank you for the reply. I will give that a try and post back my results.

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I have posted here and I know your expertise has helped me quite a bit in the past. I am having a weird issue with my dad's computer. To give a brief history, it started out with when his machine booted up nothing but a black screen would show (was not even...

I have been having a strange problem with IE on my work computer. For some reason, when I try to open IE nothing happens. I some times have to click on it like 20 times before I can get something to pop up. I also found that if I click and hold on the quick launch for like 10 seconds it will...

I recently had a nasty bug infect by home network. I had to reformat the computers to resolve the issue. With my laptop, there was a system recovery, so I didn't do a complete wipe and reformat. My concern is that when I run virus and spyware programs, it shows this trojan horse (the one I...

Thanks for all the replies guys, I did decide to reformat. I tried for a couple days to nail this bug down, but it just kept getting worse. It's amazing how some of these viruses and trojans can really destroy your computer system. Do you guys have any recommendations on what I should install...

We have tried AVG, and just about everything else I could find. This bug is nasty. I know its a trojan horse, but it keeps renaming itself and keeps getting burried further and further. I'm thinking reformat may be the only solution

Also, when trying to install Spybot and other programs I get an error along the line of "floating point error", and Spysweeper won't run all the way through, it just shuts down. I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to have to reformat his hard drive for this one.

I'm having a rough time getting rid of this bug on my dad's comp. I thought I had it when I ran Vundofix, but I am still seeing problems. Here is a log from Hijackthis: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 9:53:22 PM, on 10/4/2007 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600)...

I think this should be made a sticky, I have the feeling there is a lot more people out there with the same problem.

Hey, your advice worked out great bud. I'm not sure what I turned on, but my wireless connection works now.

Thanks for the reply, I will try that once I get home. I also tried a system restore and that didnt' seem to help, but hopefully what you suggested will.

I had my laptop sitting out the other day and it was working fine, until my dad decided to use it, and now it can't find our wireless network in the house. He said he didn't do anything much when it stopped working for him. I have no idea why i can't find the wireless connection in our house, my...

I have a gateway MX3414 notebook and had a strange thing happen. I used CPU-Z to check how my processor was working, and it said that it was reading at 800 mhz with only a 4 multiplier. I'm not sure if this is because it is a dual core chip, or if something else is going on. Also, is there a...

Thanks for the replies guys. I did try to test jus the cpu ram and vid card. I also cleared the cmos, I even let the jumpers sit for a while just to be sure. I also had a feeling it was the motherboard as well. Is it possible, though, for the computer to work for a bit after the spark and just...
