Looks like it was a problem with the motherboard because after I replaced it it went back to normal starting I am guessing maybe some capacitor went bad since there was nothing physically visible I did not even have to reinstall windows as I heard it may be required if the motherboard is replaced

I bought a power supply but as I suspected already that was not the problem Looks like for some reason the motherboard went bad

I don't have too much detail about the hardware but since I took off the cover I can say that the motherboard is an ASRock B85-ITX I have 2 ram stick not sure of the brand or size The CPU I believe is an INTEL not sure of the specs The power supply is a Winsis SKY-560ATX 460W There is no CPU...

I am using this pc for a few years now so it's not a new build A couple of months ago I had an issue where if I use the restart instead of the shutdown it goes into a boot loop where it powers on for a few seconds and it shuts down before the post so nothing shows up on the monitor Not sure what...

Well since I had no options left I had to reinstall windows 7 Somehow the installation found the hard drive even though it was not listed during the setup Unfortunately this does not explain what the cause was so it could happen again unless it was just an oddball virus I guess I have to make...

Looks like I managed to make it worse I tried a few thing after which now it's not even booting to that point Now after bios it says No operating system Not only that but when I use the Windows 7 instillation disk it doesn't even see the C drive All it shows is the CD rom as the only device...

I will do that the next time it happens just to narrow down the problem I think it's probably the mouse since I did not have this king of problem with the older mouse My guess it's stuck in some kind of loop but I am not sure what is causing it

I have a windows 7 that was working fine with an infrared usb mouse for many years until recently when the left button was getting intermittent when dragging in excel so only because of that I decided to buy a new one to replace it So I bought a similar one with a Vander life brand I am not...

Good news I got it working I got a reply from TDAmeritrade saying that it could be because it's installed for a single user instead of all user even though I am the only user There is a choice during the instillation to choose singe user or all users So I reinstalled it for all users and now it...

Just a quick update I was reading about the DDE function and there is an option to export data from TOS to a spreadsheet in Excel or Calc The one in Calc which is for Open Office is exporting the data with the DDE formula and it works with version 3 in windows xp and also in version 5 with...

I am having a problem with the RTD function not working in Windows 7 64 bit system Originally I downloaded an .xlsx file that did not open with Excel 2003 on my windows XP So after some research found that by upgrading the Excel 2003 to sp3 and using the Microsoft compatibility conversion pack...

Ok I finally got it to work although it's a bit tricky When I was switching the input I had the kvm switch in the digital position which did not have a connection since I was going directly to the monitor with the dvi cable so there was no signal there and that's why it would return to the...
