  • Computer will not start due to hardware (I know a decent amount)?

    Okay so I built a custom PC and it worked fine for about a year. Then my uncle installed a microwave which when ever someone would cook it would blow a fuse. This blowing of a fuse caused my PC to shutdown. After this happened around 3 times I ordered a UPS which worked great, but one day about two weeks after buying it my computer would not start up. I bought a new Mobo thinking that was the issue, no. I just bought a new PSU and thought that was the issue, no again. All the unit will do is flicker the power light, have the fans do one rotation and automatically die. If I press the power button again it wont do anything. I have to flip the PSU switch before it will do the flash and fan rotation. However it is not even on long enough to get to the BIOS.

  • Java wont import things correctly?

    I have created a project and wished to add a sample project which was a web browser into it. I have made a copy of the jar in my library, copied the .java file and tried every other thing I can think to try. The problem is when I refactor the .java I get import errors:

    import java.util.List;

    import javafx.application.Application;

    import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;

    import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;

    import javafx.event.ActionEvent;

    import javafx.event.EventHandler;

    import javafx.geometry.HPos;

    import javafx.geometry.Insets;

    import javafx.geometry.VPos;

    import javafx.scene.Node;

    import javafx.scene.Scene;

    import javafx.scene.control.Button;

    import javafx.scene.control.TextField;

    import javafx.scene.layout.ColumnConstraints;

    import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;

    import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;

    import javafx.scene.layout.Priority;

    import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;

    import javafx.scene.web.WebEngine;

    import javafx.scene.web.WebView;

    import javafx.stage.Stage;

    none of this happened with the sample, but only in my project. Other imports are working for my project just not this list. Please tell me how to fix it. I am using Netbeans 1.7.2 and trying to make the webviewbrowser work in another jar. Thanks!

  • Make this script display multiple options?

    basically I want it to have a list of check boxes. When for example check box 1 is clicked then show question one (whats below). However, I also need this script to be able to display multiple questions at a time. Right now even if I change the variables the script will only show the question closest to the end of the code.

  • Make this widget go in a TD and start there rather than float at top?

    This is the copy paste code...what I want is for the nav bar to be able to send in a <td> which is actually in the second <tr>. The problem is that the box is fully expanded instead of expands when you hover over it. I BELIEVE that is because this bar is set to float at top of the page (even when you scroll) and its relative effect to top and me forcing it to be past that is making it auto-expand. Any ideas?

    </tr>

    <tr>

    without having the user be able to edit the name and the email (so the inputs), If i disable the inputs (you can still see just not edit) the values end up being blank. Is there a way to make the form publish with the name as the value, and the email as its value? I cant think of how to make <? $session->username; ?> FTY the data posts to add_topic.php the current document is create_topic.php. This is to create a forum. Thanks!

  • New PC will not see any SATA HDD?

    I bought a new GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... and the PC will boot to BIOS then say missing OS. The message will lead to it saying boot using xpress2 (mobo disc) which installed shows an error of "drive beyond the 2tb+ capacity or drive not to be found or all primary partitions in use." I tried my 750 gb working hdd from "old pc" with win 7, my 2 tb logical drive, my 250 gb old laptop drive win 7, and my 1 tb external drive (removed from chassis). My computer allows for hot swapping of 6 drives, and i have tried the top two hdd slots, but none of them work. My mobo DOES see my dvd drive and my blue ray drive which are both SATA (like HDDs). What is the issue?

  • Change videocard resolution before BIOS?

    I bought a new fancy video card which has VGA (RBG adapter) and HDMI outputs but what I did not know is at that the video card's default output is 4096x2160 and my TVs max input is 1920 by 1080. With that kind of output/input I cannot even see my BIOS screen to adjust it so my screen is viable. Is there any way to make me be able to use this card?

  • Compatible Video Card?

    To the best my my knowledge I have an Nvidia Geforce 9600 GS model with 1 gb or DDR2 memory. I am not sure if need to replace my card, or just the fan. I am currently using this card to write this question... so it works, but the idle heat is 85-90C and when doing a current game on lower graphics settings it gets to 124 before I realized and closed the game. The fan does not seem to doing very much, but it is running. The fan is rather hard to find (or so I think, if you find one that is compatible let me know!) and a replacement video card will be about $60. I was wondering with my Windows 7 64 bit OS with a Quad Core of 2.2 MHz and a Pegatron Corporation Bencia which is created by Intel with a p35/G33/G1 chipset with BIOS of American Megatrends Inc version 5.33 what video cards are compatible (improvements only). If I am missing any information please let me know.

  • Computer Screen Issue (anomaly)?

    Hello I have a desktop PC connect to a TV via HDMI and have had no issue with it until recently. THe times I am having issues is when I start playing games (these are games I have played for over 40 hours a piece and with no prior issue until a few days ago). The games will boot and play fine until a random amount of time, sometimes a couple hours sometimes nearly a whole day. What happens is my TV shows a blue screen ("no signal" not death screen). I unplugged cables, turned off tv all to no avail. My pc however will continue to be on, so I figured on a long shot its overheating and causing malfunction so I took apart case and cleaned. I booted up and the same issue happened again. I already ran a virus scan, and besides this one odd TV no signal at random times everything is acting normally, and no "odd" processes in process tree. I have even tried changin HDMI ports and recently attached a second connection RGA. Does anyone know what this issue is and how to fix it? On a side note I am using the PC and TV to type this as we "speak".
