Hi puppynothing at all? check the fuse in the plug, if this fuse is ok, your power supply may be faulty. Hope this helps

First check whether you have a DVD writer or not.1)If you drive is a DVD writer a DVD-RW will be written on top of the drive otherwise it is not a dvd writer...so obviously it will not write a DVD.2) If the drive is a DVD-RW then you need a burning software to burn diske. Please download any valid burning softwares from the interne such as 'Nero' or 'Power iso' and install the same in your pc to burn dvd.

If you feel that, my answers have helped you getting solution to your problems then please give a vote.

EVerything should be color coded. The big black cord for power has to be plugged in last. all other plugs can be plugged only in one spot. here is a link for reference of what the jacks can be used for

Assuming you are on a network, you should be able to search for the printer and connect to it by simply browsing the server it is installed on. so - \\servername then right click on the printer and click connect. This will install it automatically.

Sounds like a harddisk failure unfortunately. You might want to boot your original OS disc and perform a repair (non-destructive), this may either confirm an HD crash or fix the problem.

Start your computer up in Safe Mode and see if you can get to your recovery management that way.
when you first boot up look for the F-8 key that will allow you to enter and select Safe Mode (only) that should allow you to get to your desktop.

test the ram and the cpu, if its not one of those, then it IS the motherboard.

Contact the company to obtain another one.

Type the word exit & press enter to leave this window & return to windows.

If you see the word failed than there is could be a problem with your network card.
Suggest you make sure your connection from your DSL or cable box is running correctly. Each has a reset button on the back side of their box. Shut down your PC. Unplug the power from the DSL or Cable box. Using a pen press the reset button & hold for about 10 seconds. Plug the power cord back in & start your PC.
Try the command key again. If this still says Failed than you may need to buy a PCI lan card & install it into the PC.
The odds of two lan cards not working is not likely.
This is what must be done to prove your ISP is full of s***!

I hope this has helped you.
If you have another question feel free to ask.
Just in case you need a lan card I'll post a link for one.

Verify that the keyboard is connected properly to the computer by turning off your computer and then disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard to the computer. Stuck key Ensure that there are no stuck keys on the keyboard. If all keys appear to be ok and you have a standard desktop computer with keyboard, turn the keyboard over and gently hit the back of the keyboard to loosen any dirt or hair that may be stuck in the keyboard. Bad keyboard Try another keyboard on the computer to verify that the keyboard has not gone bad. Bad PS/2 or AT port If all of the above solutions are not able to resolve your issue it is likely that the port on the back of the computer may be bad and the motherboard or I/O board may need to be replaced.

Hi John,I see you mentioned you update IE9 then you now get a blank screen...If I may ask the blank screen showed up after the update or did it show up after restarting the computer?If your getting a Blank screen when you boot into windows after the IE9 update, try rebooting then boot into Safemode.Restart you computer then as soon as you see the Boot screen of you computer keep on Tapping f8 to get a list select safemode, then once it boots into safemode windows will load up in safemode on the issue and you can navigate arround to fix things that went wrong.click on the Start Button on the lower left of the task bar then, click on Programs, select accessories then select system tools, look for system restore then select the option select a different restore point, on the window you may see a list of restore points hoping your system restore was turned on in the very beginning, once you have selected a restore point keep on clicking next then a warning will show just click next again then it will restart your computer.System restore allows you to restore to a date where you had windows working fine without any problems so if you can get a restore point before updating IE9 then it is possible that you may be able to fix you windows back the way it was.I hope that this will help,michaelvincentc

do you get any error message?You will have to reinstall your Operating System only.

Three causes of ovheating:1) Dust. Dust inside the computer, Dust around the vents, fans, cpu and heat sink. Take a can of compressed air and clean the dust out of the computer.2) A Fan not working. Make sure the fan inside the Power Supply where you plug the power cord in works. Also there is a fan that sits on top of the CPU and Heat Sink. Make sure it works. Normally the system will give you an error message if the fan is not working.3) Thermal Paste - The Thermal Paste around the cpu and heat sink has dried up or is too thin to keep the unit cool. Apply a fresh coat of Thermal Paste on the CPU and Heat Sink.
