I did the fix that BigBadBen suggested, and that worked for two boots, but now my computer's bricked completely. Now, when I turn it on, the keyboard backlights turn on, fans turn on, cd drive spins up for about 25 seconds, then the cd drive stops spinning, fan stops spinning, but the lights...

sorry I didn't quite read close enough. That corrupt file CAN cause the dvd to crash. I'll give that fix a go. But the memtest result?

I wish I could do all the drive swapping but it's a laptop and I don't have other laptops with similar configurations lying around. The memtest was memtest86+ I don't think it's a cpu or MB failure because the systemrecoveryCD (linux live cd) will sit there fine for hours, but then again, I...

Did a memtest. With all 4gig in, computer crashed at 4%. With first stick in only, it got to 50% before crashing. With second, it crashed also, around 30-40%. I'm so confused.

One thing I forgot, my BSOD message was: STOP: 0x0000C1F5 (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

This afternoon, mid-way through installing the latest windows updates, my computer threw a BSOD at me. Thinking it was a one off thing I restarted a few times. It BSODs consistantly. I then decided enough was enough and tried to boot from my Windows CD to do a roll-back. Sure enough, it...

I did consider putting the data in an external file but decided not to because if somehow the file and the script got separated there'd be error messages spitting themselves everywhere. I thought it would be handy to have it all in one file. I'll just put some comments in about editing the...

Sorry about that Steve. I just copy/pasted it in and didn't really think about how much space it would take up. Thanks for both of your inputs :)

I've written a program for calculating the molecular mass of any inputted molecule. I've constructed it using 118 if statements as you can see: #!/usr/bin/perl -w #perl2exe_include Math::BigInt #perl2exe_include Math::BigInt::Calc #molwt.pl : Calculates molecular weights #Written by Luke...

That works, thanks. can you tell me why my way didn't work? Thanks, Luke

Code so far: #!/usr/bin/perl -w beeps. #loader.pl #Luke Aaron #Start: 29/01/08 #Build: A 29/01/08 #Script to act as a script loader to be located in C:\Documents and Settings\USER in order to easily launch scripts from the command line #located in C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My...

I'm starting to think this isn't a graphics card problem but a mb problem...The caps lock, num lock and scroll lock keys don't respond and the mouse never lights up. Is my motherboard stuffed? They keyboard is getting power. I know this because the keys kan light up with blue LEDs and this...

The PC doesn't beep at all. That was bothering me becasue I thought that a beep was an indication that the POST was successful but a freind told me that's not allways the case. All fans run, HDD spins up, dvd drive can open and close. MB has no integrated graphics. Any suggestsions?

I just put together a new computer with a core2duo, 2gig ram, 500gig hdd, dvd burner etc. and I just put in the last component - a 7600GT, plugged in the monitor and turned it on to set-up the BIOS and then install SuSE and WinXP. On the monitor it reads: "NO VIDEO INPUT". I have no idea what...

I don't think its a protective layer. They are actually 3 grey strips on the copper on the bottom of the heatsink. I'll try and get a photo up later.
