    Spontaneous shutdown

    Hi....11071965, When you say "the module" what do you mean, exactly? How is the power transformer damaged? Could you please clarify? (Thank you for the answer anyway.)
  2. rebootd

    Spontaneous shutdown

    It could be, although the slots are very clean (computer has been taken care of pretty well) and the box isn't hot to the touch at all, like some laptops. As an update, I did run memtest3.0 (from www.memtest86.com) and it crashed again during that. That is run off a floppy, so I know this has...

    Spontaneous shutdown

    I have a friend's Compaq Presario 1500 laptop that is about a year old, running XP Home. About a month ago he says it started crashing spontaneously every now and then, meaning sudden shut off of all power (no blue screens or error msgs to give me a hint, no freezes either, just wham, OFF.) If...

    mouse - network = weird behavior

    This problem concerns a customer of mine. I do not have access to his computer, as it is owned by his company and its use is heavily restricted (he can't even access Control Panel). I work for an ISP and installed for this customer a static IP with a Zyxel cablemodem/router, which is configured...

    DHCP problems

    Well, I know the DHCP server is very busy - I work for the ISP. However, it doesn't explain why I can get an IP for one computer and not for another. One of my problems is that I have to exhaust all other options first before I can go to our network guys and complain about our server! I have...

    DHCP problems

    I am running into a recurring problem: very often when I connect DHCP cablemodem clients to the internet, (a very busy DHCP server, btw)- I cannot get an IP from it. I can take one computer, put it on the same connection, and get an IP immediately. Then I take that one off, put the other one on...

    How to remove video adapter so I can install new drivers?

    I already said it doesnt recognize the adapter in Display (i.e. it shows only the standard vga.) I installed with current .inf file - the problem is not installing it - the problem is that the system wants to default to the standard anyway - what I am looking for is a way to force the system to...

    How to remove video adapter so I can install new drivers?

    I have an old Dell Latitude CPxj laptop with an ATI Rage Mobility M1 video card and service pack 5. When I upgraded the service pack to 6a, the display reverted back to the default 16 colors, 640x480, etc. When I installed the new drivers it said it needed in order to use the video card, it...

    Modem Trouble

    I tried disabling the "wait for dialtone" feature - no change. ONE of the two modems is a Rockwell, the other a US Robotics...

    Modem Trouble

    futuretech204 - no conflicts at all. The modem(s) install properly - no problems at all, the system identifies and detects them no problem - I have tried changing phone lines (thats the first thing I did because it said it had no dial tone - and when the telephone is plugged in there is a dial...

    Modem Trouble

    mudskipper, if I disable the COM ports in the BIOS, will that help the modem install properly? The error msg I am getting when I try to dial up is that the modem has no dialtone, even though there is clearly a dialtone and the system recognizes the modem no problem ("more info" in...

    Modem Trouble

    First off, I have tried this with two totally different modems, and they both work fine in another machine so I know there is nothing wrong with them or their installation software. What happens is that when I install a modem on this particular Compaq computer, it refuses to use a legitimate COM...

    POST glitch?

    Yes I am sure...I have gone thru the BIOS line by line, over and over searching for it, looking for anything referring to monitoring at all....I am wondering if there must be another place the boot process "sees" the S.M.A.R.T. option? I am not a programmer..is it possible this option...

    POST glitch?

    This is an older computer with PII 133 MHz, AMIBIOS, WD hard drive, Win98, no special cards at all just a modem, built by someone in some now-defunct local computer shop...this is what it does. Upon bootup, runs through: Checking NVRAM...update OK! 163840KB OK (scrolls through) then: WAIT then...

    mouse goes nuts when laptop is docked

    I recently upgraded and reinstalled on a compaq presario 1624 laptop, win98, (lots of annoying propietary drivers, etc) and everything is working great, except when user hooks up to docking station: then the mouse goes nuts and is impossible to use. My question is this: it seems that it would...

    No fixed disks present

    I recently ghosted an image from an older WD 6 gig hard drive that had win98 on it to another hard drive,and wanted to wipe it and reinstall windows 98 on it. In between ghosting what I wanted to save, and reinstalling, in the interim I installed NT4 on it and ran it on another machine for a few...
