Of course, there is a certain pleasure of having a PS that dims all of the lights on one's neighborhood block upon the start-up; my next one is going to be a 650 watt, simply for this purpose.

In my experience, I have never seen a PERSONAL system that REQUIRES more than 300 watts.

The Epson website shows an update for the Status monitor that is currently configured with your printer. I'd imagine that this would do the trick.

Personally, I have found Windows ME to be the most unstable of the recent Windows releases. The problem that you are describing is not uncommon in ME environments. As a Tech./Administrator of around 7 years or so, I'd say recover/backup any information you can, and load an OS such as Windows...

It could be the Brand Name, have you checked with other sources to see as to whther this has been a common problem in the past or not? It could be due to heat, or possibly driver issues... What kind of Laptops are you using?

Check for updated drivers to the soundcard, and updates/service packs for the Operating System, as well. If you could list your specs, it would be a lot easier for me to trouble-shoot, if you'd like.

I just did a small amount of research on Creative.com, and it unfortunately seems that your web-cam isn't supported any longer. You have one of three options: 1) Call Creative Labs Support Line and ask them to send you the drivers (they only charge shipping, maybe 40 cents), or 2) Buy a...

It's not so much the particular burner, it's more so the company and the quality of the product they manufacture. I've personally always gone with Imation or Memorex, simply because they seem to be versatile at both slow and fast speeds, and aside from this (and more importantly), they seem to...

I find it's best to keep all processors running at around 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit at maximum. Anything cooler can prove to be difficult with the above mentioned Pentium 4 series, as the architecture is a little different. As for the RPM's, it depends on what size the fan is. If it is a...

I had a really bad experience with the Linksys routers, myself; it worked for about a week, then one of the internal parts burned out (almost literally). Buying it was stupid in the first place, as I should have purchased a D-Link, which is what I usually buy (and have been for the past 7...

It very well could be the CMOS battery, aka the Complimentary Metal-Oxide Semi-Conductor. This problem sounds VERY familiar. Hope this helped. - Jonathan Warner

The Hard drive will only help in the startup, trust me, I've been an Admin\Tech for the past 4 years, five in September. DDR RAM will up the memory bandwidth from around a gigaflop (a gigabyte of information in transfer), to 2.1 gigaflops. The difference between ATA66 and ATA100 is only around...

As I originally said, there is absolutely no way it can be the power supply, it is definitely the motherboard. If the motherboard was functioning it would beep in order to tell you that something is wrong. I personally suggest Abit and (or) Soyo. - Enigma666...

What you want to do is install the video card (with the machine unplugged and shut off; ONLY IF YOU KOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!) into the PCI or AGP slot, and start up the machine. Then, you will want to go immediately into the CMOS, and turn off the onboard video, you should then be all set...

Bill, Have you checked the jumper-setting on the drive yet? Is the EIDE cable attatched to anything else other than the CDRW drive (this is known to cause problems)? If you can, tell me the exact configuration of the drive itself. - Enigma666...
