    Odd XP problem

    Hey guys, I know I've posted in the hardware forum with an XP issue, but my initial thoughts were that this was a hardware issue (No new hardware attached). The long and short of it is, I'm looking at a computer which freezes on the XP logo screen. It also freezes trying to boot into safe...

    DoA?

    Hi guys, I've just plugged a mobo in that I've just received and I want to know if you think its dead. Basically I've now got it set up outside of the box, with CPU and memory installed. I get no beeps and the only sign of life is the CPU fan. Dead or what?

    Trouble shooting a HP

    Yes there have been no beeps. When I first powered the box up, I took the RAM out and it gave me a pretty long loud beep. But after that I've had no beeps at all when the RAM's been out. I've tested each stick on their own, but still the mobo doesn't post.

    Hard Disk Controller

    Hi guys I was looking at a friends laptop, its a Compaq Presario 2114EA, which has recently for no apparent reason been shutting down to 'prevent damage to the system.' When it boots back up it says its recovered from a serious error. Now I've not actually seen the shutdown happen, but...

    iTunes and transfering tunes

    Hi guys, I can say I've really ever used itunes, but I recently recovered some data for someone and now they've come back to me saying all their iTunes music has gone. As I said, I've not really used it, but I would have thought iTunes at heart is just a media player that lets you download...
