  2. Agreed, for a short while the power supply apparently was putting out more than it was designed for but it could not keep that up for long. Now it cannot.

    Agreed, for a short while the power supply apparently was putting out more than it was designed for but it could not keep that up for long. Now it cannot. Your best bet is to purchase a good quality power supply with 450W – 500W overall, but more important is in the details. It should have a single high amperage 12Volt rail, Active PFC, 80% or greater certified efficiency, and be made by a quality name brand. It also should have a 3-5year warranty since that is the way you know the company is confident with their product. You should be getting 35A to 45A approximately on the 12V rail so that you will be able to even upgrade a little higher if you eventually want to down the road.

    You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

  3. Setting PnP OS to 'no' lets the bios configure all the hardware. Setting it to 'yes' lets the OS do some of it. I've noticed some dos stuff won't load if that is set to 'yes'.Real men don't use AntiVirus; they just reformat

  4. What you see is usually the result of rouge software like a virus or malware infection. Have you scanned for these? I would suggest you look at the processes tab in task manager to see what is consuming the most resources.

    which the routine is as per “HoppperRox” above…

    Remember it will wipe the drive in the process; and (hopefully..) leave as was when first shipped/delivered… Which means any programmes etc. installed later will also have gone… (and any data/personal or other files too)!

    Incidentally are you sure about the model number? There is no A 105 A101 on Toshiba support; but there is an A105-S101… Is your initial model info a mis-type (A and S being adjacent on the keyboard)?

    This is the Toshiba support area for that model:

    Lots of “useful stuff” there…

    line 1: you need to transpose to: IF EXIST XXX (
    line 2: like Derek said…
    line 7: copy XXX has no destination, so it does nothing and generates error.
    lines 9 etc.: might work, but relative paths are to be avoided, esp. for something like an “install”. If your install script doesn’t know where it is, it should just give up and abort.
    last line is an abomination. never use “!” in var. names, and if testing a variable for null, use any other method than that: IF “%opt%”==””, or best: IF NOT DEFINED OPT. but note that the second method requires that the var NOT have percents! Also, always set var to undefined before a set /p:
    set opt=
    set /p opt=:

    If XXX Exist (
    goto Uinstall
    )
    mkdir XXX
    cd XXX
    ECHO INSTALLING! PlEASE WAIT!
    copy XXX
    echo Please wait, Im creating a Short cut.
    cd..
    cd..
    cd..

    if %opt%==else goto !

    You can only tell If the graphics card was damaged by trying the card in a different PC or fitting a new graphics card in place of the existing one.

    To avoid damage by a power surge to PC components you should have your PC plugged into a surge-protector socket. You can buy a surge-protector that comes as a strip of sockets, the most popular brand being Belkin. They make various models depending on how many sockets you want. Some are upright ones which take up less floor-space, or flat horizontal ones with four or six sockets. Depends on how much you want to pay.

    Can you see about 6 sets of multi-colored circles on that page?
    I’m trying to establish whether your computer is able to display png files at all.

    One other thing to try. From Firefox go to Tools > Addblock Plus and click Disable everywhere (you can untick this later on). Close Firefox, open it again then see if that helps. I’m trying to find the culprit. If Tools is not showing then hold the Alt key down in Firefox.

    “built-in VGA VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP”

    Try downloading & installing the VIA Hyperion Pro chipset drivers, then the VIA Unichrome graphics drivers. Get them directly from the VIA website. You will need to know which chipset your board is based on.

    http://www.viaarena.com/Drivers.aspx

    If that doesn’t give you the proper screen resolution, consider investing in a cheap graphics card. The VIA IGP sucks anyway.

    EDIT: see the following about your board model number, it appears to be an OEM board:
