When I start my PC the CPU fan starts up, but nothing on the monitor. So switched Power Supplier to see whether or not it is the problem, but when I did it still gave the same problem. I unplugging the every component from the motherboard including the RAM to see whether command relays or power even rich it (if you switch a PC without RAM it makes contious beeping sound) in which in this case it didn’t. So afterwards I thought the CPU was protecting itself from overheating because the Thermal Paste run dry, so I put in new paste, and started it again, but there was nothing, so I know maybe the motherboard might be damaged but is the any other advice anyone can give Please?….
So, Gateway will be closing their doors at year end. Another victim to the lagging economy. Gateway is one of the weakest computer manufacturers, so it comes as no surprise that they would be one of the first to be affected. I can’t really say that they have been delivering they way they should to stay alive in this competitive business either. I think they gave up a long time ago. So, if anyone is thinking to buy a Gateway, reconsider. There is a good selection of PC’s available from a good number of computer manufacturers, i.e. Dell, Hp, Levnovo, Acer, etc.
When starting up in vista,I get the windows boot manager screen up with microsoft windows vista,and earlier versions of windows.How can I get rid of this appearing when starting up?
Why does my computer hesitate when I drag a window across the screen or scroll in my internet browser, and how would I fix this issue?
My computer screen would go black and then show a message that said Not Optimum Mode Recommended Mode 1280 X1024 60Hz . Everything freezes and the only thing I could do was turn off computer and then restart it. Sometimes this didn”t work. I would get this message after being online for about 30 minutes. I purchased the regcure program after seeing an ad stating it would fix my problem . Purchased, registered and did scan…….still getting knocked off Internet with above message floating on screen . Am I doing something wrong? Never had this problem until we moved and I changed to insight broadband
what do i do to my dell when the screen says INTEL in colors
DDE error. Cannot unclick DDE box in Folder Option for XP-word 2007. Anybody out there pls………..
Hey. My E-machine has something wrong with it. and i saved
everything that i need on disks.
but when i put my system recovery Cd’s in it wouldn’t
load anything and just brought up the files themselves.
Also anytime i try to open something i have to manually do it.
like i click Firefox it says
what would you like to open this
with and i have to click Firefox. then this window pops
up saying something then i click okay and then it tries
getting me to download this thing for Firefox and
i click cancel and that’s how i have to get on the
internet every time. How do I completely reset my computer?
I have tried using boot disk.
I have tried opening system restore and it wont open.
and i tried looking for the button you push
at the beginning of start up so that you can reset
it,…didn’t find it.
