Check your cables and connections between the pc and the printer.

As I remember when I was playing around with an older ATX board about 4 months ago. With the board out of the machine on a piece of cardboard with the PCU and case fan pluged in, the PCU fan and case fan will turn but nothing else. Next install the CPU then you will get a series of beeps telling...

upduke cdogg is right follow his advice. I have one with the same CPU but with Award bios 1.0 and 40meg mem. It works great except it does not recognize my CD in the bios. But the CD reads okay and I used it after I fdisk the hard drive (8.4 GB) to all one partition.

Hi Ben, It is great to be here in Texas for the winter go back to Minnesota for the summer. Will not be able to tell your sister hello as I am in East Texas. I know what you mean about that old age thing I passed 78 the end of Jan. but am still going strong. Keep up the good work we all need...

Hi Ben, I ordered this PSU on Price Watch. Through Amamax out of Houston TX. Several co. advertized the 230 watt psu for the microATX case but they shipped a 300 watt so I guess I can not say for sure. I was very impressed with the service I ordered Sunday evening and it was deliverd before...

My new power supply came in today. I installed it about 12:30 booted up and shut down. The comp. has been setting with power to it for 6 hrs now and has not blinked yet. I hope this will take care of the problem. I ordered a 230 watt and they sent a 300 watt which was okay by me. Thanks every...

micker377, I checked the on-off switch. Took it clear out of the comp. and took readings from the pins on the switch board its self. Could not get any readings at all even on the 2000K scale. Yet when I put it back in it works the way it should. I also can hear a cliking sound in time with the...

Ben, This machine does not have a reset button. I took the front of the case off and tried to get an ohm reading through the switch but could not get anything yet it does work okay. The voltage from the ohm meter would light the LED lights one at a time. It has to be getting some kind of a surge...

Ben I have tried all the things with the CMOS, put in a new battery after leacing it out all night and then setting the CMOS to default. Thanks anyway. micker377 This is a MicroATX case. If you mean the power switch on the front of the case it seems to work okay. It has the 4 second delay to...

This is an e-Machine with; MB TriGem Computer NAPOLI 1.0 Bios American Megatrends Inc. 063100 09/29/99 Pentium 111 Operating System 98SE 32 meg ram 150 watt pcu It is a little old for warranty I think I will order a new 230 watt pcu and see what it will do. I will let you know. Doss

Thanks Ben, I have tried these things but it still does it. If it was just the blinking lights I would think it was going into stand-by but why are the cpu and upc fans turning? When I change the power settings (to always on) the lights may not come on for 3 or 4 hrs. Thanks again, Doss

I have been working on an e-Machine, Monster 500 comp. for my daughter. It works well except when I power down the machine. Then the pwr and hdd led lights start blinking and if they blink rapidly the cpu and pcu fans spin but not at full speed. If they blink slow the fans just wiggle. I have...

A friend of mine is having the same problem when she clicks on download it downloads into the temp. internet files instead of giving a choice of open, save, cancel or more info. I like it to download into a download folder on the desk top. Doss

I looked at the "notify when dowloads complete" and it is checked. The window she needs is the "File download" window that has the file name, file type, from whom, and at the bottom it has do you want to- open, save, cancel or more information. I think it is a security...

Thanks, RocKeRFelLerz I forgot to uncheck the e-mail. I will pay more attention next time. Doss
