    Intermittent power problems

    A friend of mine just got a new computer, and is having a problem where his computer loses power and of course shuts off at random intervals. Of course, I first blame it on the power supply, but it's brand new and he says it's 1000 watts. I'm not going to pretend to know if that's good or not...

    Computer is not turning on, power light blinks

    I really don't have the money for a new video card, but I very much doubt it's the PSU's output. (This computer is hardly state of the art.) Well, I'll see what I can do... WELL! It works! I changed to a more powerful power supply, and it's back up on it's feet. Thanks, guys.

    Computer is not turning on, power light blinks

    The power supply is obviously doing it's thing, but the moniter, when hooked up, doesn't work, and the soft power LED flashes instead of staying solid. The computer is on, but not responding.

    High pitched whining noise

    C'mon, people...I'm going to lose my house over this. Okay? I NEED an answer. If this is just a case of a faulty power supply, and both of those power supplies were faulty, That's fine. Just...C'mon.

    High pitched whining noise

    When I say I used an entirely different computer, yes, that means 100% different computer. Let me check and see if it's that 8800GT. Nope. It's a Dell, BTW. It's not a branded one, though. As for the specs, I can't power it on, so I can't tell exactly what it has. Besides, it's been...

    High pitched whining noise

    I have a problem with my desktop. Whenever plugged in, and the hard power on, it emits this really annoying and painful high pitched noise, and the computer does nothing. The sound seems to be originating from the power supply, but I changed it out for a power supply of another computer. Still...

    Huge problem...Keeps me from gaming.

    Wow. That's better. But hey, what option lets your Alt-Tab bring up all your windows diagonally so you can click the one you want? That was cool. <.<;; God, I sound like a noob for saying that. XD

    Huge problem...Keeps me from gaming.

    So, I got a new laptop. It was awesome, has all this high end hardware (Well, except for the Video card, but it runs most games just fine, so no cares there.) But there's a problem. It comes with Vista. Now, I'm not gonna be one of those guys who instantly dismisses Vista. Sure, it has...

    Problems with XP

    Uh...No, that wouldn't help at all, that would make me OS-less. O.o Do you mean format the XP partition and reinstall XP? Because if you mean what you said, you really didn't read. I said XP was having the problem. Vista is NOT having the problem.

    Problems with XP

    I'm running a laptop with a Dual boot Vista and XP. Now, I've had an odd problem a few times with the XP partition. Every now and then, the laptop will randomly shut off. No warning at all. It's just off. And at that point, pushing the power button is non-responsive unless I unplug the power...
