Modem missing in device manager by vistax100
I accidentally uninstalled my modem on my HP Pavilion PC. I took the setup disk and reinstalled the modem, but now it doesn't show up on Device Manager. Modem seems to be working fine; I can connect to the Internet. But I need the modem to show up on the device manager so I can troubleshoot using my Blackberry to connect to Internet. Any advice on how to get the modem back into device manager?...

Power Supply by Vista_32bit
I have a dell insp. 531s with a 250W power supply. Dell support says upgrading to anything over (like 400W) would potentially fry my components, is this true? Is it safe to upgrade to a higher wattage? -- Vista_32bit

MISSING SATA HARD DRIVE by Vista_is_the_new_ME
I have a new pc w/ vista, 2 sata hard drives. Everything was fine, then a week later the slave drive disappeared. The BIOS recognizes the drive, but Vista doesn't. I've seen enough threads on here w/ no resolution. System restore is not an answer. Microsoft - Fix the problem.

Replace motherboard by Viv
Following my attempt to flash the BIOS on my MSI K9N4 SLI-F board I now have an unusable computer so I presume I destroyed the BIOS as all I get is a black screen. I ordered a replacement but was sent a K9N SLI board by mistake. My supplier is, unusually, slow in responding to my request to put the matter right so I am wondering if I could just install the new board, and what problems I...

Computer dies by Viv
I have a Vista Business 32-bit computer which shuts down after about 20 minutes with no warning of any kind, as if the power has suddenly been shut off. Are there any log files I can look at to see if there is any indication what the problem is? My guess is that it is the power supply, but I am reluctant to buy a new supply in case it is something else. The computer is permanently on,...

NEC AD7170-A DVD writer by Viv
