I recently added a NIC card to my comp because the one on my motherboard wouldn't work preoperly. Everything was fine for a few days but then my graphics card began to play up. The top of the display was fine, but the bottom three quarters was a cross between grey and odd colours. I took the NIC card out thinking I had overloaded the graphics card, turned it on and all was fine. Then after 5 minutes it began to play up again, but only when I was burning a DVD. I think it's the PSU as it's 2 and a half years old, I don't think it's pumping out enough juice for everything. The problem is gradually getting worst.

yesterday my vista 64, Packard Bell ipower X9810, was switched off at the wall whilst it was running....
Now it doesnt do anything, no bleeps, no lights on the mouse and keyboard, the fans are running and there are lights on inside the case, but it wont boot up, the monitors are working although they just go onto standby after a while. Ive been told i could have damaged my power supply and or motherboard, what size would the power supply be, which should i replace first.

Got an HP Pavilion with Vista Home Premium on it that suddenly doesn't want
to boot up after being perfectly alright for over a year. Nothing has
changed and I've not installed any new software (unless something has been
set to autoupdate and a new update has been pushed without me noticing).
It POSTs OK, then goes on to the black screen saying "Windows is loading
files" with a white progress bar moving left to right, and then moves on to
a black screen with the "Knightrider-style" progress bar (green bars moving
left to right) and the words "Microsoft Corporation" below it.
It then moves onto a blue screen - and stops. The machine doesn't freeze
because there's a cursor (normal white arrow) there and it can be moved with
the mouse, but no matter how long you leave it, the machine will go no
further. No error messages; no lockups; it just will not continue the boot
process any further.
I've tried booting into Safe Mode and it gets as far as a black screen with
the words "Safe Mode" in each corner of the screen but nothing else; no
icons, no text, nothing at all, no matter how long you leave it.
I've tried booting from the Vista DVD, selecting "Repair Installation" and
allowing the automatic Startup Recovery thing to try and fix it but it just
came back with the message that it could not fix it.

I bought a HP Pavilion Laptop which came with Vista Home Premium 64bit installed on it. There are however a number of 16-bit DOS applications that I need to run for college work. I tried using DOSBox but it seems that the HP Pavilion laptop keypad isn't compatible. I can't even get my C drive to mount because there's no key that prints the ':' character. So I guess the only option is to install 32 bit vista. A friend of mine has a 32 bit vista installation. If I install a copy using his activation key and then later (after installation)change it to my 64bit key, will it work?

I've got an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ system based on an MSI K8N SLI mainboard.
The board is currently running w/ 2GB (2x1GB) of Corsair DDR 3200, and I have been considering moving it up to 4GB as I am running Vista 64.
What concerns me is what I read about this board on the MSI product page, and honestly, I'm not really sure what this would mean to me!
The product page can be seen here: MSI Computer Corp. - Product
And the verbage that has me wondering, "What does this mean to me?" is below. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated before I shell out any cash on more memory! If I am reading it right, it will only utilize 3GB when 4GB is installed?
Due to the South Bridge resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up to 3+ GB (not full 4GB) when each DIMM is installed with an 1GB memory module!

I bought a OEM version of Ultimate x64, though now I want to upgrade my Mobo to another brand, new CPU and Ram. My question is: Do I have to buy a new Windows if I do that? Or is there a way I can reactivate my "old" one?

Basically the machine just switches itself off, frequently and without warning. There is no obvious pattern to when this happens. It's happened whilst booting up, after a few minutes. a few hours and occassionally doesn't happen at all. Tech support appear certain that it is either due to the cpu/motherboard overheating or a problem with the operating system. I've checked the temperatures on rebooting after it's shutdown and these have never exceeded 53 and 37 degrees (CPU and M/B respectively). Tech support seemed confident that this pointed to a problem with Vista.
I tried running the the machine in safe mode and it still shut itself down (although it did seem to be slightly more stable). In addition to shutting down unexpectedly the machine was prone to freezing with almost all software 'not responding' (including Task Manager which was a new one on me ). On the occassions when I could get task manager to work with the machine frozen it indicated that almost none of the system resources were being used (CPU usage about 5% and memory in the low 20% area).
Having concluded that a reinstallation was required I did a clean install using Brink's very helpful tutorial. At first the machine seemed stable after the installation however a couple of days later it began to shut down again. Other than that problem the operating system seems to be stable (so partial success). I've disabled all the obvious sleep options in the control panel so I don't think it's anything to do with that.

After adding a Gigabyte EP45-DS3R motherboard (not me, a company), following problems occured:
- Windows Update does not work, the only thing i get is a white screen, so no info at all
- Back-up is impossible: Code 28 MUI file problem
- Ras Async Adapter is missing
- Realtec "8169" missing
- cannot alter the computer through my other one, so there is a network.
The PC with the new motherboard can see and do everything on the second computer, but i cannot get access to the newer one. Vista was installed through the company delivering the motherboard. When i put in the CD to let the computer search for the Ras Async Adapter, nothing is found.

I have a laptop and desktop, but the desktop is five or so years old. I need a new one, and retail is too expensive, but if a built one is even more expensive, I don't care - I make it and can upgrade it. How do I know what hardware my motherboard supports? I have seen computer cases with a component at the front that shows the stats (CPU Usage, RAM Usage, Hard Drive Usage, and a lot more) Is it part of the case? If not, where can I get it? What is it? Where would I go about getting RAM with LED's? Thats all for now, but I could add more later.

Well, the title may be a little misleading, but here is my problem. I JUST got a TA770 A2+ SE Motherboar, the T series, i dunno if thats any help, all i know is its a Biostar motherboard ><
Anyways, so i took my old HDD, which ISN'T SATA (Whatever that means) It uses one of those "ribbon" cables that usually has 3 black "plugs" on it, 2 for hard drives, and another one for the board itself. Now, what i was able to do with my last board was put a CD drive on the end of the cable instead of an HDD drive.. Now that i tried that again, it won't see my CD drive.. Any help anyone? I am using Windows Vista 32X SP 2 Home basic.

First switch on, got to Welcome screen and froze, restarted now all it does is Start Case fan and CPU fan after 2-3 seconds, runs for 10 seconds and switches off, then restarts and keeps going through same procedure, over and over. On motherboard is a row of 6 LED's showing CPU loading, all six lit each time it starts? I've a horrible feeling the CPU is kaput.

I am changing my motherboard from ASUS P5Q deluxe to the ASUS Maximus II board. Will i have to re-activate my Vista even though the two boards are both based on the P45 chipset and similar design. Could I get pull it off or will Vista still read it as a new motherboard and have to go through all the re-activation grief with Microsoft?

I am considering upgrading my motherboard to one that has a higher specification than PCI 2.2 to get over a problem with the new 802.11n Wireless NICs. Can I avoid reinstalling all the system and applications by keeping the existing system partition? Re-activating Windows should be legally possible (even by telephone) because my Vista version is a full retail one. I don't expect it to be that simple, but maybe someone has some advice about using the Vista Recovery Environment to re-build the HAL, or erasing certain registry keys in Safe Mode to force Vista to reinstall the correct system devices. At present, I can not get past booting under Safe Mode, so there has to be more to the process - if one is achievable.

My desktop system came with an OEM version of Vista Home Premium installed. This has since been upgraded to Ultimate. Unfortunately the mother board has developed a fault and I will have to replace it. The original motherboard is no longer available (manufacturer gone bust I think) so I have to replace it with a different make.
According to searches on Microsoft, to continue using an OEM version of vista any change of mother board must be of the same make and type as installed on the original system the OS version was licensed to. If this is true I will have to purchase a full version of Vista or try and get another OEM version with a motherboard. (VERY expensive so not an option) Has anyone had the same problem and know if this is true or know of a way round this.

Is there anything I need to do before upgrading my Motherboard in Windows Vista? I know it used to be a pain in the butt in XP. I have a fully licensed copy of Vista (meaning not OEM). The upgrade will be happening this upcoming weekend.
