i've had this happen to me before. it sucks when some power supply's don't have the flip switch to prevent that from happening. test your power supply first. read this site to tell you how... http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=108208 just get a paper clip and bend into a U and stick...

UPS is not a laptop..

i think you probably dont have the power switch plugged into the right pins. if its not in the exact spot it needs to be the power button wont work. as cube says, we need to know what make and model your motherboard is in order to check the manual. i'm sure your referring to what looks like...

Try some process of elimination... Go into the BIOS and reset the settings to safe configuration or default. Remove all your expansion cards except your video card. Try one stick of memory at a time swapping and test them in different slots. Run a diagnostic software on your hard drive...

As a test, try hitting the side of your LCD with your palm when it does act up. See if it responds when you hit it. But like I said earlier, either loose cable inside or more likely bad LCD.

Better to get a new one. To consider replacing parts in this case would not be worth it. There is a small chance it could be the ribbon cable on the inside that might have a loose connection. Other factors like power inverter might cause this, but inverters are not cheap considering the cost of...

I got the P4 Northwood 478 3.4 512 800 (SL793). As for clone software, I used Norton Ghost. Not sure how I will be cutting the caddy. I'm going to Home Depot to get some ideas and tools I need to do so.

Are you referring to the platters that are typically in the hard drive? I heard that the second they get exposed to air they are no longer good. Also by opening up the external you voided the warranty, but alongside by returning it for a replacement you lose your info. Freezing the drive works...

All your specs seem good and I'm assuming you have at least a 500w power supply. I just did some searching and found a few things you can look into. You can try having software manage power for your PC. Some people have suggested setting windows power management to power saver. Others had good...

I might be mistaken, correct me if I am cube, but can't you just cut the 3rd wire on the cpu fan so that there is no speed control? It's usually a white wire. Red + Black -. Yeah so no speed control, big whoop. At least you can have a fan that runs 100% all the time.

My guess would be that by setting it to manual your limiting the amount of power to a certain value whereas by setting it to auto it can fluctuate by necessity. Obviously when your throttling your PC, voltage values will go up and with power going up there is heat. If your voltage is limited to...

Okay so just an update... I got all the parts. WD Raptor 80gb 10000rpm 1.5mb/sec sata1 Corsair Memory VS2GBKIT400C3 2 GB PC3200 400MHz 184-Pin DDR Desktop Memory Kit Northwood 478 3.4 512 800 (SL793) I did the BIOS update to P21 provided by Gateway. I tried the link to your BIOS and it seem to...

Now that I think more about it, I think the video card is a 5 series instead of the MX440. Very similar cards though. Anyways, I will be awaiting the parts so I'll update the progress. I decided on the raptor 80gb. To my surprise the price went down to $45. If feasible, I may remove the floppy...

First off I'd like to say thanks for taking the time to review my thread. I appreciate you looking into the bios. Probably wasn't the hardest thing to find out there, but it was the least of my problems. The CPU is on its way from china so it will be a little. As far as memory, I read your...
