I know that thread ended a few months back, but now when i connect a device in the front USB ports, windows xp says that there a power surge on the USB ports. When i go back into the the device manager, i still dont the USB root hub. Whats going on?

I want to know the name of my mobo, but everest does not know the name of the board, and neither does hp have documentation about the motherboard. Here are my BIOS and PC specs: BIOS Date: 09/19/06 BIOS Type: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG BIOS ID: 09/19/2006-C51-MCP51-A8N-LA OEM Sign-On: Copyright 200...

What kind of battery does the CMOS use?

I went to phoenix.com and found documentation on my BIOS and found that the beeps were for a checksum error. Is a checksum error nothing to worry about or is it a big issue?

I checked the board for leaking and bulging caps. I did not see any of those and the board still boots up fine. It was only that one time i heard those beeps, but i havent heard them back.

Yesterday when i turned on my PC, heard two beeps coming from my PC. What do they mean? I have a Pheonix BIOS chip. here are some other information you might need: Brand name: HP Model number: Pavilion a210n Primary HDD: Western Digital 160gig (Upgraded from Maxtor 80gig) Secondary HDD: Seagate 100g...

Thanks for the link edwin. The link you gave me had a link for the upgrade advisor software (link down below). I used it and it says my PC is compatible with vista, but only with home basic. But like you said, i will wait for the first service pack comes out. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=6...

Okay, i know that this thread stopped about 2 months ago, but now i am sure that it is my power supply. I used a volt meter and checked the output level, and it is putting out too much power.(which also explains how my cd-rw, dvd-rom, cd-rom, and two harddrives blew). Does anyone know where i could ...

The name of it is title.wma. When i play it it comes up as "Windows Welcome music".

Okay, i found where the hidden music file is located. here is link for the website: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/298664/wi ... sic_track/.

i checked in the folder and the file was not there. I could recall it was supposed to be a file called title.wma. There was a web sight that had the steps to find it, but i forgot the name of the site.

When i was setting up my computer with windows xp home, i heard the background music and i liked it. I am searching around my computer looking around for the song file. Does anyone know where it is located? and if possible, who is the composer of this song?

Did the HDD manufacturer give you a "setup" disk or CD to do this? Yes when i bought the western digital harddrive it came with a CD. But I dont know if it will let me copy my data and plus I lost the CD. I also have been hearing that western digital drives are not good. So is it going to be reliab...

I am thinking to revert back to windows xp home. The only way i could go back to windows home is to use HPs recovery cds. I want to back up my data and OS (in case if recovery goes bad :lol: ) from my 80gig maxtor to my new 160gig western digital. What program can i use to backup my data and OS? :? ...
