Well I have tried a new power supply (not the problem) and reformatting to rule out software issues (also not the problem). Now I am thinking that this is either a motherboard, CPU or HD (SSD) issue. Anyone have any pointers on how to test these things out? Thanks.

For $12 I would try something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156005 It says it is for printers only but maybe you would be able to use device manager to map it to an LPT port.

The hard drives are set to never turn off. All fans are working (3x120mm and 1x140mm) and the CPU cooler fan (Hyper 212 Evo) is also running. I have been monitoring the temperatures and the hottest the CPU gets is 40°C. The power supply in this computer is a 700W OCZ Modstream that is only a...

Hello everyone In the past few weeks my desktop has started doing some weird things, namely locking up/crashing every 45 minutes or so. The crashes always occurred after the monitor went to sleep so I thought it might have something to do with that. I set the monitor to never go to sleep...

Hi Everyone I recently got a Dell Inspiron 1501 from one of my friends. The laptop appears to be about 5 or so years old. When I press the power button I hear a fan spin up quite loudly and a noise from the DVD drive. After that I can hear a fan running quietly. The power light and the...

maybe there is something wrong with the wireless card

Yeah I am using two routers because the wired one was already there and I have a laptop with vista on it now. So what I am doing is using the wireless router as an access point. But I dont think that is the problem because I can see files from the xp machine in vista if i enter the ip address...

My problem is that the XP computer cannot see the Vista computer, and the Vista computer can only kind of see the XP machine. I can ping the XP from vista but not the other way around. XP doesnt show up on the vista network map but if i enter the ip address of the xp machine i can access the...
