I didn't have any need of that. I just waited for a while and touched the power pins again(a little carefully this time) and the processor fans started spinning. But nothing came up on the display. Somehow, I got the idea of dust and I cleaned the motherboard thoroughly and it worked! btw thank...

My case has had a faulty power switch for a while now, and I've been using whatever metal I can to start it until I have the time to search for a new case. This morning, I used a screw to start it, but I didn't notice a nut on the screw which made it wider. So when I tried to touch the pins...

Are you sure the power switch is working? Trace the wires from the power switch to the JFP1 outlet of your motherboard. Check your manual for what pin numbers connect to the switch and then short those two.

Hey guys, so I just built a computer that runs Ubuntu and Windows 7 pretty good, so I'm going to install Mac OS X on it. So the problem is, I have a Wifi PCI card that comes with drivers for Windows 7, but it's supposed to run out of the box with Linux. I'm not so sure about OS X. I know that...

Thanks a lot!

Thank you and how exactly do I test it for stability? Sorry I'm new to this.

Thanks a lot guys,so the only problem is with the RAM, right? And about unlocking the 2nd core, I remember reading somewhere that AMD loks ccores because of defects, and unlocking it could make the PC run slower. Is this true?

Hi, I just built a computer and installed Windows 7, which seems to be getting slower every day. I think it might be a bottleneck, so these are the parts I chose: MSI 760GM-P21 Motherboard Adata 2GB RAM Cooler Master 350 W PSU WD Caviar 160 GB Hard Drive AMD Sempron 145 Processor 2.7 Ghz Well...

Or, if you don't want to take the plunge, install Ubuntu on a CD and select Try Ubuntu at the installation screen. This will start Ubuntu without installing it, and if the mouse&keyboard work good here, you need to install Windows again

Sorry I didn't see that: Check the system requirements for Windows 8 before you install it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/system-requirements I know that the site says 2 gb is enough for 64 bit, but I can guarantee you that it will run slower than a tortoise inside a snail's shell

So you're saying that it doesn't work when you connect only your 500 gb hdd to the computer? If the 500 HDD doesn't have an OS on it and the 80 HDD with the OS is disconnected, how will the computer run? To be more precise, connect both the 80 GB and the 500 GB HDD at the same time and then...

If it seems to be a virus and you think its a virus, then its probably a virus. I second supasieu's post, and if that doesn't work, you may need to reinstall Windows

After doing whatever Hjgrove said, if there is no change, do a disk cleanup and defragment your drives
