Either your monitor or video card is bad. Try connecting another monitor to the computer. Borrow a monitor from a neighbor, friend, relative or co-worker and connect it to the computer. If the Borrowed monitor displays and works, then your original monitor is bad. If the Borrowed monitor does the same as your original monitor and does not work, then the Video Card inside the computer is bad.

Hi, The this particular model of the computer has one spare PCI express slot , where an external audio card can be put in. Open the the system tower and look for an empty black slot on the motherboard.You can purchase a PCI express sound card .RegardsProton

According to NewEgg it has one PCI slot, but already in use. CNet mentions a modem. This may be what is using the slot. Remove the modem if not in use.Simplest way is to open it up and verify.

Expand Local Users and Groups and Users in the console. 3. Right-click Administrator account and select Properties. 4. On the General tab, clear the Account is Disabled check box. 5. Close the console. Now the super administrator account is successfully enabled. Next, you can easily reset the forgotten admin password from "Start->Control Panel".

It sounds like the motherboard is dead, but just to be sure your power supply isn't the issue you can test it for sure with a psu tester like one of these:http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=-1&IsNodeId=1&Description=psu%20tester&bop=And&Order=REVIEWS&PageSize=20

Just take the hard drive out of your old computer and hook it up to another computer via a usb port with a device like this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002Then when you have it hooked up to your new computer via the usb port just transfer the files you need from the old computers hard drive to the new computers hard drive in windows explorer.

The easiest way is to connect the old hard drive to an USB adapter case and make it an USB external hard drive. Connect this to the USB port on your new computer, the computer will see the external hard drive as an External storage device. You can then open the various folder on the hard drive and copy the files to your new computer.You can delete all the unnecessary folders and files off the old hard drive and use it as a backup storage device.
