My wife tripped on power cord of my 3.5 year old, pristine Studio 1555 a couple days ago. Today, the power button doesn't work. Almost. I got the laptop to power up a couple times without the battery installed. With it powered on and working, I closed the lid. It immediately cut power. I...

Toshiba Satellite A135 I boot it up, sometimes the touchpad works, sometimes it doesn't. It's sorta luck of the draw when I boot it up whether it'll work or not. Usually, if it's running on battery power it works and when It's plugged in the mouse will just freeze. Sometimes it will move the...

Gf just got a brand new Studio XPS1340. First thing, I wiped the hd clean and deleted the recovery partition and reinstalled Vista Home Premium.(64bit). It works like a champ and she loves it. Problem: Whether booting or rebooting, it won't start the first time. It posts just fine and the...

I have an Enermax 535W PSU. I forget the exact model number, but I'm pretty sure they only made one 535. Just got home from college where I never, ever shutdown/restart my computer. Hooked it up here at the house, press the power button, the fans spin a couple revolutions at most and then...

So I'm playing NFS:Carbon happily and all the sudden it freezes. Nothing is responding, so I hard reset the computer. It tries to reboot but says "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter" in BIOS. What the crap? I pop the Vista CD in to repair it, but when the repair utility comes...

NEC 3550 in a computer I built a month ago. It reads CD's fine. Initially, I think it wrote CDs fine also. Now I try to put a blank CD in, it pops up this error message. i have no idea what this means or how to approach the problem. I deleted the disc drive from the device manager, rebooted...

I'll just start it off with an email I got from my friend a few days ago: Hey J***, It seems as if our little chatroom is going to be hijacked by little girls. Any suggestions. Not to be mean, but it takes away the freedom to talk about what's going on in our lives b/c everything is...
