The only problem is i know the rhythm of my PC. When it starts up i know all the sounds from boot up to when it arrives to my welcome screen and all seems well. Of course i can't see shit.

That gold fan is your chipset fan. Not a good idea to try run w/ out that working properly. You could fry your mobo.

Any of you guys have IBM Thinkpad T60s?

I've randomly been getting the blue screen of death telling me about a hardware malfunction.

Any suggestions? If I bring it to the computer help desk, I won't be getting it back for a long time....

The previos Gerv response got me wondering if I was running off only single core. How do I know for sure. I have a intel core2 duo with an Asus P5W DH Deluxe mobo.

IN my hardware device manager it shows core 2 2.4 twice but my task manager doesn't show cpu0 nd cpu1 like Gerv's. I got paranoid and the asus website said that a few of these mobo's shipped were out without bios updated for core2 processors. How can I determine for sure if am I using both cores? Mine was just purchased 1 month ago and the asus website said that the most recent should be ok.

Problem #2 When I first built this machine, it booted really fast. Now it takes roughly 3-4 minutes before it begins starting up windows. I thought it was McAffe. I unistalled it to no avail. my startup menu seems not too cluttered. The only heavy hitter on startup is steam. Could it be bios or windows? I have all the latest drivers and utilities. As said earlier, it's only a month old.

Have a feeling my video card is about to take a shit. Have the GeForce 6600GT and when i turned on my computer, i got a messed up looking screen that went black. Wasn't able to reboot the normal way (had to unplug the comp) and it booted fine. Then, put comp on "Standby" as i went to the store to pick something up. Upon my return as i went to "wake" the comp, the screen remained black and i got the "No signal" message on the monitor. Had to reboot using the unplugging method and have a normal screen now.

Whats the dealio?


The world is my urinal

Card could be on its way out or it was just a glitch that happened.
