Swap out power cords. I have had it happen more than once, the cord somehow becomes oxidized (contacts) and I need to switch out cords with the monitor to get it to boot back up. Also make sure it did not get turned off on the back. Stewart At 09:00 PM 11/17/2009, you wrote: Power supply

Power supply more likely than the switch, I think. Make sure the switch on the back of the power supply hasn't been inadvertently turned off. Ellen H. --- On Tue, 11/17/09, Robert Carroll wrote: > From: Robert Carroll > Subject: [CGUYS] Dead desktop computer -- what is likely the matter? > T

Got a call from my oldest daughter just now that her HP desktop computer was dead. Worked well yesterday -- no disk noise -- cut off at night, now won't start. What to do? She says that when she presses the "on" button nothing happens -- no light on button, no startup, no noise. However, ca

The issue of CPU overhead for managing data transfers goes way back. I was arguing the superior transfer rate of SCSI over ATA years ago. Fortunately, I could demonstrate the difference side-by-side in our test configuration. Not everything in tech is as simple as some imagine it. The extra laten

We're thinking about purchasing a turntable for digital conversion for some of our records. Ideally, it would have 33, 45 & 78 rpm speeds (we've got some really old records). We've been using Audacity for our reel-to-reel tapes, & it's been fine. Any suggestions? tia. david David Turk Manag

FWIW, our own experiments with eSata were disappointing. First, few mobos actually supported hot swapping - in fact, none of ours did. We could have lived with that, since our old drive caddys require powering down to swap. However, at random times the drives would suddenly slow down, apparently t
