Hey all, stumped on this one:

We have some files on one of our Windows 2003 servers that all of a sudden have become inaccessible. You can browse to them and actually see them, but cannot open,...

Its pretty technical but my Networking textbook in my master's program is good. It is Computer Networks: A Systems Approach by Davie and Peterson 4th Edition. It's past tthe dummies book if they...

Dell Optiplex GX 620 SFF
P4 2.8
1GB Samsung DDR2 PC2 4200
ATI Radeon X600 Video
500GB WD SATA HDD

Ran fine, then I decided to upgrade from 1GB to 2GB RAM. Immediately started getting BSOD's...

Ok let me rephrase the question.......

If those were the only 2 motherboard combos on earth, which would you pick?

I agree the am2 would be better but this pc is not for me and as long as it...

Looking at these setups for a basic pc to build for a friend.....

Setup 1: Cost $69.99

Foxconn 6150BK8MC-KRSHN2 Socket 939 NVIDIA GeForce 6150B(PV) GPU Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

AMD...

Nevermind, redid it...I spread the thermal paste too thin I guess so now it has been running at idle for an hour and is a 42C which I can live with...

Ok....Final verdict. CPU was unharmed, motherboard is definitely bad. I bench tested my old...nothing but the cpu fan twitch, new mobo old processor comes up beautifully. Only thing is the cpu is...

Ok will give that a shot. You seem pretty convinced that I dislodged the heatsink judging from this post and others before. I really don't think this is the case but will follow your advice anyways...

Results of my findings:

Took all 3 hard drives out first thing and plugged them in a working pc....they seem to be working just fine as I was able to browse data, open files, etc.

Put memory in...

Thanks noonoo..... Will give it a shot.

If that blows the PS up...then we know it is mobo...

Sooo.... when I buy a replacement mobo/cpu combo or whatever I do, will it be safe to use my...

No I did not take the heatsink off, I simply unscrewed the fan off of the top of it. Anyways I just checked it and the heatsink is securely fastened. I actually never physically oueched the...

No bulging or leaking and I do know what to look for. Also, the integrated ethernet LAN activity light blinks when I put the dead PS back in. I assume this could be a good sign the mobo is ok?

So you are saying that my mobo possibly went bad to begin with and killed both power supplies? Makes sense I guess....

So what should be next? Risk another power supply? Buy a new mobo, cpu or...

Well right before I put the new power supply in I took the fan off of the top of the heat sink to clean some of the dust off of the top of the heat sink. Not sure what this has to do with anything...

Well I am a Network tech not a PC tech and it may show here......

I leave my pc on almost all the time, well I woke up this morning and that familiar noise I hear every morning wasn't there, my pc...

Sorry I should have been more clear as I did every one of those at least 3 times. This shouldn't be that difficult. Can't be the tv as it works fine with my laptop. Could the s-video-rca adapter be...

I am trying to get my Media Center PC connected to my TV. My vid card is an ATI Radeon X600 SE with DVI and Svideo. No matter what I do I cannot get the pc to connect to the tv. In the Displays...

Thanks. Yes I agree as I mentioned I would have to find one to fit. The other kicker is the pci slot is snug up against the case side so the actual tuner portion of the card can't be on that side...

I am finally ready at looking at adding this to my entertainment center and think I have a good pc to fit the bill. I recently got a good deal from a friend on a small form factor Dell Optiplex...

That Florida report makes no mention of whether it was a secure network or not. If you lock your wireless down and someone hacks it, that is illegal and you can and should be prosecuted. If you...

Sorry to disagree, but however unethical it is, it is not illegal if it is open to the world. It is the user's responsibility to secure their own network. At least not here in NC it isn't illegal. ...

I am having dns problems I think but it is only affecting a single pc on the network. For example, the affected pc can only reach a resource by ip, whereas any othe pc on the network finds the same...

Thanks NooNoo but I think I need to go deeper. I looked at something like this but 2 issues. First is I have no where to put this box. Ideally, It would have to be put somewhere behind the plasma,...

Doing a project where we purchased a plasma tv for a conference room. Basically I need to connect 2 pcs/laptops to it. The plasma comes with 1 vga port, and I do not want the users to have to...

Need some advice on a project I am working on for a customer:

Customer has an IBM E series X205 Windows 2000 Server, Pentium 4, 1GB RAM. Server is about 4 years old.

They want a fast but big...
