I am upgrading my pc using my old ATX case with a new motherboard which is ECS KM400-M2. The cpu is AMD XP 2800+. The pc would work for a few minutes or seconds and then just shutdown by itself.
The day before yesterday, I posted this question in this forum and an expert had provided with some suggestions on this problem: It seems that something wrong with the power supply and the cpu temperature. I definitely appreciated that.
Before I throw more money onto this computer (I really don't like to do so), could somebody help me on this issues:
1. Do I need a more powerful power switch? Right now, I have a 350kw power supply and someone suggest me to buy a 400kw one.
2. I actually bought and installed a new case fan. I connect the pins to the motherboard. However, when the pc is starting, from the BIOS, I couldn't see its speed and the temperature. Is that a problem? What's wrong and Why?
Please help!
Thanks very much in advanced!
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
Kilowatt? Thats a PSU with balls! 400-500 watt should be fine. Has anyone told NASA? All this time they've tried to spend millions on glorified supplys fort they're system,s and all they had to do was throw a few hundred bucks towards the lovely people at whoever makes those PSU'sRead other 1 answers
Is 450W power supply sufficient for the following ?
Intel Dragontail Peak DP35DPM motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 Mhz
Samsung 2GB DDR2
Nvidia 8400GS 256MB
LG x18 SATA DVD
Vista Home Premium 32
( Samsung 226BW Monitor )
Does the addition of extra fans affect this at all , or is this negligible ?

Hi,this is for a friend who is interested in buying an AMD A6-3650. The power for the processor is listed as 100w.I want to know what will be the minimum power requirement without any GPU attached.It will be of great help since we wanna cut cost to the most affordable one.
In a standard setup with no-GPU one or two HDDs, one or two ODDs a 300w should be sufficient however I would be hesitant to build any system with less than a 400w and preferably a 500w just because there isn't that much of a price difference and it gives you room for future upgradeability.
For budget PSUs I usually recommend these:
Antec VP-450 = $40 (This is a true budget / low end unit, It is decent for the money but I would recommend the others I listed over it. unless you have a really tight budget)
Antec NEO ECO 400C = $45
Antec NEO ECO 520C = $50
Antec EarthWatts Green EA-430D = $55
FSP Group SAGA+ 500R = $57 (this is good but it is an older model so it doesn't have very many SATA power connectors)
Antec BP550 Plus =$65 (modular if that is important to you)
Almost all of the newer Antecs are made by Delta or Seasonic so they are very good PSUs. Some people recommend the Corsair Builder series in this price range, however the builder series is made by Channel Well Technologies (CWT) which has a less than stellar record and I still don't really trust.
I have following configuration
Intel DG 965 RY Board
Intel Dual Core 3.2 GHZ processor
Nvidea Quadro FX 580 Graphic card
1 SATA DVD Drive
RAM 4 GB (4 chip 1 GB each)
Power supply iBall LPE223-400
I am experiencing frequent automatic restart of the system and sometimes my hard drives got vanished from My Computer.
Can somebody tell me that my SMPS (power Supply) is enough for this configuration?
if not then What is minimum required?

I just came in to the desktop group about 6 months ago, and a few things we do are a little odd (to me). For instance, we order GeForce 9800 cards for AutoCAD users.
But any way, we always ordered these 9800s with a computer that had a power supply that put out lesser wattage than required. So my question is, for the 9800/GTX 260 (nvidia), will it give a message that the wattage is too low or that it is going to start performing less, or can it cause issues without ever giving such messages?
Can it potentially cause issues with other pieces of hardware?
You won't get a warning message.
Most often what happens is a freeze/crash or a restart.
If you haven't experienced any crashes, then the video card is not being stressed very hard. Normally these crashes occur as soon as you put load on to the card, but if this isn't happening, then a 9800 card is total overkill for your application.
You could probably get by with a 9400 or 9500 for these purposes. Technically, a Quadro from nVidia is really their workstation card, but they are all based off the same chips.
Hi all :
I bought a new motherboard today . Its a ECS km400-m2/amd xp2800 cpu.
I need to know how i can use my exsisting hard drive 120 gig without formatting. Im running xp corporate edition on a amd K6-II 500 mhrz/GA-5AX motherboard. If any 1 can help I would appreciate it. thnx
while you really should format the drive and perform a clean install, you can install the drive into your new system, boot from the XP CD and choose "repair", this will re-write the OS (with the required files for your new hardware) over the existing installation. That process doesn't always work, but it is your only option if you insist on swapping the drive without formatting
Hi - I installed a new motherboard (gone are all my errors BTW per my last msg.) and XP is not recognizing onboard audio it is on in CMOS. I need to verify if I need to physically make any changes other than to hook up the CDROM/DVD to Aux-In. Also the same with XP and video, no driver. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a Sony VGC-RB42G computer. I recently moved my computer, cleaned off all the dust, and when I plugged everything back in, it won't power up. The light on the power supply blinks green, inside the motherboard also has a green light that blinks as well. It has a ticking sound too, but I am not sure if it is coming from the power supply or the motherboard. Any idea what could be wrong.
FYI, I have already unplugged everything from the power supply, pulled out the ram, checked the battery, and put everything back together and still no change. One thing I thought was strange was after I unplugged everything, I pulled the power into the power supply again and this time the green light came on but did not blink. It stayed solid.
Sounds like a Power Supply problem.
Hi, I just bought an HP pavilion e9300 a few week ago. And I am going to upgrade the power supply so that I can get a new graphic card--ATI 4870 which requires at least 500 watt power supply. My current computer is shipped with a 350 watt power supply. I will probably get a 650 watt considering the 70% effeciency of power supply.
However, when I talked to an HP technician, he insisted that I could go for a power supply with no more 450 watt. Because the system I just got has a motherboard which has a max power limit 450 watt. He said if I go beyond that, the motherboard will burn out.
So what shall I do? I really want to get ATI 4870 work well on my computer.
Thx very much.
The long answer is "No".
Just be sure of the dimensions of the power supply before you order a replacement, as HP uses some pretty strange sizes sometimes, and you want the new one to fit with room to spare.
It's been a while since I built a system from scratch and have a... errr... simple question
gfx: Sapphire HD3850 512MB Ultimate (passive)
MB: MSI P35 Neo2 FIR
PSU: Seasonic M12II 500W
The motherboard has a power connector for the graphic card next to the slot.
Is there any reason I should connect the power for the card to the power connector on the board instead of directly to the power supply?
First time I have ever seen that feature. I like it. I'm thinking that is a neat/easy way to partially eliminate cable clutter from the PSU. Give it a shot, you can always revert to PSU cable if you wish.
Hey fellas. My mother in law had a power outage quite some time ago. When it happened her pc would not turn back on. Is there any way to check to see if the motherboard is still good? I would like to get it working as a secondary computer. Also, how can I tell what kind of power supply is required for that motherboard? Because I have tried a couple power supplies, and one was from a OLD 166mhz pc, while ther other was from a 866mhz, but it seems like the ends or where it plugs into the motherboard are different in shape. Any suggestions? This is a HP 900mhz pc, it would be nice for web browsing and other task. Thanks for any help!
Post the make/model of the motherboard and we can probably find a manual for it.
hi, i'm new to this site so please help me with my computer!
i'm sorry if this is in the wrong place to post this fourm
anyways, lately I have been having troubles having my computer bootup and have a startup screen or windows pop up, but it doesn't. I sometimes have to boot it 1 out of 10 times for it to work, and eventually it does. One day it froze, so I held the power button to turn it off, Now it doesnt have a post screen. SO now, the power is on, fans running, videocard fan running, but nothing on display. I'm not too sure if its the power supply, even though its 450watt because it lasted me 4-5 years plus all my fans are running. I posted help and people said it is my power supply due to because it doesn't give enough power to my 8800!
I'm assuming its the motherboard because i heard no beep when I turn on my computer, also I've tried taking my ram out and turning it on and there is no continuous beep i am suppose to hear. I change my ram around, i took out my processer to check, my monitor should be fine. When I turn it on, the only sound i hear from it is my discdrive , and also my cpu fan is the last fan that spins after awhile. I took out my videocard, and cleaned it and put it back, i did that to my sound card and my network card too. so please help me out! =( i don't wanna go buy a new computer!

I was replacing a fan in my case because it made a high pitched sound. I took it out to test it to make sure there wasnt too much pressure from the screws inside the case that were causing this noise. I unplugged one of the molex connectors from my gfx card to test it. It still made the sound so i plugged the molex back into the 2 molex to 6 pin connector and the computer shut off immediatly. Now when i hold down or just push the on button my led flashes and fans spin and stop repeatedly. Any Help would be just the best thing right now.
~Thank you
NEVER unplug or plug in anything except maybe case fans inside a computer with it powered up! Pull out the video card and see if the computer powers on. If it powers on you have fried the video card. If the computer still doesn't power on, the power supply should be changed before you suspect the motherboard
Hi, I'm on a mission to patch together some kid's emachines T2682 P4 pc. I'm pretty sure the motherboard is toast, I managed to get it running once, began a defrag, then the screen went to "no signal" (I could hear it was still running) and on reboot, no beeps, no post, no signal. The fans run, so I think the power supply is ok. I removed the ram, still no beeps, no video signal. I'm set to order another board, but I read where in most cases the power supply is what causes the mboard failure. Should I get a power supply and try that first? Is there a way to just check the ps?
I would replace the power supply at the same time as the mother board. I had a faulty supply that seemed to work, on an Emachine that was under warranty. It blew the motherboard and keyboard and a wirless adapter that was pluged into the usb port at the time. they replaced all the parts but the wireless adapter because that was my own part. They put in a used power supply and just after the warranty it went out again an took the motherboard with it again. I took out the harddrive and threw the rest in the garbage. No more emachines for me. It was cheap and used as a second computer for the grandkids so no loss.
Hello, I need your advice please.
I have a system based on a Epox 8KHA+ with the latest BIOS. 512MB RAM, AMD XP2000+ not overclocked, running at 56 degC., Windows XP fully updated.
The problem is the system keeps turning itself off. After about an hour of running, it suddenly dies as if the power plug had been removed. If I try to restart using the power switch nothing happens. If I then unplug the power lead and replace it, it then starts up OK.
Any ideas please?
Many thanks
Hello and welcome to Techspot.
Sounds like some kind of overheating problem. The psu is a major suspect.
Try another psu and see how it goes. I don`t think it`s your mobo.
Regards Howard :wave: :wave:
My pc won't properly boot up (i.e. all the fans turn, but there's no video input), so I have troubleshooted all parts. Eventually I put my PSU in another computer, to find that that one didn't boot at all. I concluded the PSU had to be broken.
As a last test I used a multimeter to manually test the voltages of the 24-pin connector and found that they were all next-to perfect.
Does that indicate that the PSU is healthy, and my motherboard must be dead?
Marty9231 said:

No. It just means that under essentially no load the PSU is delivering the proper voltages. The voltages supplied under load may dip well below what they are supposed to be.
Hi! I have a computer (or maybe had) with an Asus M2v-MX SE motherboard with a dual core AMD processor, running XP Pro SP3. Over the last few months. maybe once every week or 2 weeks, it would freeze after booting into the OS. Mouse would freeze and couldn't crl-alt-delete to task manager. I had to unplug it, then reboot and it would be fine. The other day, as it booted the boot message screen came up in different colors within words, then everything had a green hue. The green hue continued after the OS came up. I was just checking mail before I went to work. When I came home, I turned on the computer---and nada. It didn't do anything, and a message appeared on the monitor---no signal. Not even the bios came up. I use the onboard video, so with the green hue I figured Motherboard. But since it sent no signal, now I'm thinking power supply. How can I determine the cause of the problem? I know I can't find a replacement motherboard---it's 7 years old. A month ago, I put in Crucial CT2KIT25664AA667 4gb, but I don't know how this would cause this problem as it hasn't froze since I installed the ram. Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

OK here is the chain of events....
Turn off computer at 3:08
Had pizza
Power Up computer at 3:20
While I'm walking away I think I hear a rather remarkably loud beep, or maybe two beeps. Either way when I come back to my computer it's powered on however, the monitor shows "No SIGNAL"
I go through the standard, try the monitor on another computer, check the cables etc.
After a few more tweaks I power the computer up. Still no signal. Another power up later I notice there is no POST beep.
I check everything and try again. No post. I reset CMOS, no post. I notice at this moment that the VIA chip fan isn't spinning.
I unplug all peripherials and try again no POST the computer comes on for a brief second then everything stops, the PSU fans, computer fans everything.
Now that's all I get it's like the car starts but doesn't turn over.
I'm assuming this is either a powersupply problem or a mother board problem. How do I narrow it down? My MAJOR concern is I have 2 segate drives RAID ed (the one for speed, 1 I think) if I get a new mother board I need to keep this info is that possible?

1)How do I get my data off my Raid drives?
2)Is this a PSU issue? Or a Motherboard issue?

I am working on my aunts PC (HP slimline), again! This time it will not turn on, seems relatively easy problem. I press a power button and exactly nothing happens, not even PSU fan spins. I do not have a tester for FLEX PSU (they have that tiny 24pins and not regular size ones), but I take it out and cross the green wire (PSU on) with black ground wire and the PSU turns on, hmmm. So I independently test out each voltage on all wires and they all come out with proper voltages.
I put the PSU back in and I test out the power button and its wires, and they are fine. I even crossed the pins on the motherboard to get it to turn on and nothing.
The thing I can not get my head around it that in every motherboard failure I was a witness to, I was at least getting some PSU response (fan spinning). That is why at first I thought it was PSU for sure, but I do not have spare FLEX ATX PSU as they are not common at all.
Would I be wrong to assume that motherboard went south? The way I see it, ifI get a new motherboard (for a lot less than new FLEX PSU) with standard power supply plug I can just put the PC into normal chassis (I have spares) and use one on my many spare ATX PSU's and eliminate both possible sources of error weather it is a motherboard or FLEX PSU.
Thoughts? Thanks...
Assuming the fuse in the power cord is fine, I would suspect the PSU to be at fault.
I have a s446 motherboard. It came with a 350 watt power supply in the kit I purchased. I would like to buy a bigger case and the one I like comes with a 450 watt power supply. I looked at my manual and searched on the internet but I can't determine if it is safe to hook my motherboard up to a 450 watt power supply. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

OK, I'll try to get it right.......
I have an Intel 2.6 Ghz Duo Core on an ASUS Motherboard, 2 Gig RAM and all about six years old running Windows 7 Pro.
When I do a cold bootup from the power OFF condition, the PC freezes at the BIOS message and will sit there forever .....................
If instead I press DELETE on bootup, it will boot right through to the BIOS settings page (blue/white screen) whereupon, I do the ESC and EXIT bit, get presented with "Start Windows Normally" and all is then OK.
If I do a reboot using the reset push button, it will only proceed to the BIOS part where the HARD DISC is checked and again will sit there for ever...........................
Now, to confuse it further, if I turn the PC OFF and ON using the front deck push button, it will do a normal reboot right through to starting Windows correctly.
Whilst the PC runs reasonably well thereafter, it is quite common for it to do a complete and total shutdown for no reason whatsoever or the keyboard or mouse to suddenly stop working.
On the back of the deck is yet another ON/OFF switch and using this to reboot the PC results in a normal bootup.
So something stinks using the RESET Pb on the front of the deck or a normal cold bootup.
I replaced the Motherboard battery, pushed and pulled all the wires - as you do - all to no avail.
It is far from a happy PC and I suspect either the power pack is playing up or the Motherboard is on the way out.

Sure. Start by going into the bios and checking your temps and voltages; specifically the cpu temp, system temp, 12V, 5V, and 3.3V values. Post those here.
Next download and run memtest This runs from bootable media ie CD, floppy, etc. You need to make the bootable disk and restart with the disk in the drive [CD set as first boot device in the bios]
Test the hard drive with the drive maker's diagnostic. You download this from whomever made the drive ie WD, Seagate, etc. Most of the time you have a choice between a windows version and a dos or boot version; get the boot version. Again it runs from bootable media.
One other thought; have you cleaned the system at all? If not, open the case and give it a good cleaning with a can of air [available at any office store, computer store, even walmart]
My computer was working great. I went out of town for a week and upon my return, it would not turn on. The green light on the power supply was lit but that was as far as it went. I purchased a mobo but this did not fix the problem. I am not real computer literate but have experience. Does this mean that the power supply is gone since no power seems to go beyond the light? If not, can you tell me what to try?

My computer recently had a failed fan in the power supply unit. I took the machine to an official computer tech company and they replaced it. I brought the machine home, used it once. I turned off the machine, unplugged it to use outlet for another computer.
I then replugged in the machine with the new power supply and nothing happened when i turned on the machine. Nothing, nada, zilch. No noise, no video, no nada. I see a green light on the chip board inside the unit so i know its receiving power, but no Action.
Is this my motherboard now, and maybe my processor. The tech's say that i need a new motherboard and processor. But i dont trust them anymore after my replaced power supply and now dead computer.
Any suggestions on the logic of what's happening with my machine? PLEASE HELP. I'm an end-user, not a tech...so I just need this all to make sense.

Hello there and welcome to Techspot!
I feel your pain. We've all been there. Not that sympathy makes things any better, but you have mine.
It is hard for us to tell what is wrong with your system without looking at it of course. But maybe we can help you confirm a few things.
You say you can see the green LED light is lit up on your motherboard. That's a good thing. When you push the power button, no fans are spinning at all? Not a good thing.
It could be any number of things, and the tests that need to be done involve removing parts to help troubleshoot. Do you feel comfortable doing these types of things?
Try unplugging and reconnect your power supply connections to the motherboard.
I would also test your computer case's power-on button. This is done by disconnecting the small 2pin cable from your case that goes to your motherboard, then using a screwdriver to quickly touch the two pins that that cable was connecting to. This will short the pins, and hopefully start your computer. If it does, then your power switch on your case needs replacing.
Other than that, I would try this test to see if you can get the power supply fans spinning: http://modtown.co.uk/mt/article2.php?id=psumod
If the fans on the PSU don't spin, then you have (another) dead power supply.
If the fans on the PSU do spin, then we have narrowed you down to either a dead motherboard or a dead CPU (probably motherboard)
Case #1:
Heres the thing, I went to a friends house (wolvman on here) and was getting it set up. He told me that because I needed a hard drive still, and that neither of the raptors he gave me worked, he had a 160 gig IDE drive. I plug it up, having to unplug the side fan, because all of the power supplies I have are limited to 6 ( I think ) legacy connections.
I start the computer up, nothings wrong, but its lagging a little due to the system (XP home) getting drivers, etc. for the hard drive. It comes up and says its working, so I check it, and it was. It had a previous installation of XP on it, so I see everything. We then decided to play CS:S, and about 10 minutes into it (it was running fine and dandy) it just shuts off. First I think that the GPU went out, because I didn't notice the computer went off, just that the monitor said "No signal", but it went completely off.
I proceed to try to turn it back on, and it does NOTHING. I pulled the side of the case, and checked how hot it was. The Power Supply was pretty freaking hot, along with the GPU, CPU, and HDD's. This is where I get scared. First, I think it just overheated and shut down, but then I realise that that's usually a BSOD, correct? Would the HDD's usually get that hot? Its a simple Maxtor 160gig, I believe its 7200 RPM.
No point in making 2 threads. X_D
Case #2:
I got a motherboard from him after this, us deciding that I needed to upgrade anyway.... Read more
Maxtors fail way too frequently. Next choice is the power supply. Watch from the back with a strong light when the <ON> button is pressed. Does the fan blade turn four revolutions or less. That is a bad power supply.
There is no relationship, really, between heat and a BSOD. It can just as easily shut down as give you a BSOD.
I'm betting it is power supply, memory module, or Maxtor failure.
I was looking through motherboards and noticed that this one has an 8-PIN power connector.
I went and looked through PSUs and found that most are only 4-PIN, like this one.

A lot of the newer PSUs have two 4 pin connectors to use for the 8 pin connection. Also I have seen some 4pin to 8 pin adapters on NewEgg and eBay.Read other 5 answers

Should work fine with the 20 pin, but there is another spot on your board for the other 4pin
the power supply should have 2 cables, the 20pin(or 24pin) and another cable with 4pin, both of those go in differnet spots,
and from what i know it shouldnt be a problem with the 20pin going in the 24pin.

Okay, being the computer tard i am, and also being nosey i kinda demolished my Motherboard and Power Supply
I'll explain, just to make you guys laugh at how much i am of a complete idiot.
Power Supply : My powersupply was louder then normal. so i opened up my case and rebooted still loud. so i made sure everything was plugged in ok and again, still loud. so i unscrewed it and ran it with the casing off, and then BOOOOM Right in my face. I got told, i could of died by it, but i was laughing so hard i was almost crying. Shat my pants almost lol
Motherboard : I decided to learn bits of the motherboard, and took the PSU off, tried to put it back and bent the gold spikey bits, didn't work again
So overall, i've decided with these two new parts. Are they compatable? Will they work?

In any case, there was a decently big power issue recently, and although the computer was hooked to a power strip, I'm pretty sure there was damage done as the computer will not turn on now; I can press the power button but the computer will not respond, and I went in and double checked the connections to make sure all was in working order (it was). It was in perfect working order previously, with all cables and equipment functioning, and the BIOS and everything was up to date. My issue is that I have no idea what got shot, the motherboard itself, or the power supply. Any suggestions?
Can you borrow a power supply and hook it up?
I replaced a motherboard, processor and memory. All should work with each other. I got everything connected and cannot get the power button to work. I have tried it every different combination that I possibly can. The led on the mb is on. Any suggestions? I can't even get it to do anything. This computer worked until I took out the old parts and replaced them wiht new. Is it possible the MB is bad?
Yes, the board could be bad; but, more testing is in line before deciding that.
Are you certain you have the power-on switch connected to the proper pins on the board? Thoroughly checking this is a must. Study it carefully.
Is it possible you have the CMOS-clear jumper set to 'clear'? I have bought boards that had this setting out of the box. I never could figure why they would do that; but, they did.
Are you certain the processor is fully seated into its socket? And, are you certain there are no bent pins?
If you have checked all of the above and found nothing amiss, disconnect everything from the board and remove all add-in cards and see if it will power up.
Alright, well I'm looking at purchasing this motherboard here:
If you'll look at a couple of the reviews, they mention this:
I neglected to get a 20+4 pin power supply for I dont know what reason, but once I had that everything worked. If you have a GPU which 256MB dedicated RAM or above it is reccomended that you get at least 14 amps on the 12 volt rail.Click to expand...
I have a 256MB GPU. My question is, what does that guy mean by the 14 amps/12 volts/20+4 pin power supply, and what do I need to get one? The case I'm looking at buying is this:
http://www.chiefvalue.com/app/productdetails.asp?submit=&item=11-145-049&ATT=Cases Computer Cases
Does that include enough power, or should I be looking at another power supply in addition? Thanks in advance for the help.
I'd recommend taking out the power supply that comes with that case and getting yourself a reliable one. Powmax are not really PSU makers, they are case makers (who include PSUs with their cases). In other words their PSUs are made with very cheap parts. You do not want a cheap psu. Read through this forum and you will see many people with really hard to diagnose problems that most of the time are the result of going cheap on the PSU.
To answer your questions briefly:
PSUs put out different types of power, as different parts on you computer like different flavors of power. There is 12v power for some parts, 5v power for others and 3.3v for the rest. A cheap PSU is not very good at making these different types of power, specifically the 12 type. A good PSU should be putting out at least 24amps as a minimum.
And the other question, your motherboard uses a 20pin connection from the PSU. Most new PSUs are a 24pin connection, but a lot of them have adapters that come with them, or better yet, the 24pin connector actually allows you to "snap" off 4 of the pins to change it to a 20pin connector.
I'd recommend getting a PSU from a company like enermax, fortron or Antec. Have a look at this thread for some great info:
Just to let everyone know first, I'm not very techy/good at this stuff. I know several things but I'm far from good haha.
So my problem:
Every time I turn on the power for my computer the fans run but the light on the power button blinks once and then stays off. I have to try several times to hold the button/turn it off and then try turning it on again before it totally starts. I'm wondering if this is just a power supply problem or a motherboard issue? I've got an Acer Aspire AX3400-E2202 AMD Athlon IIX2 215 dual-core processor.
Also, if I were to get a new power supply unit would I have to stick to the watts of what it is now or could I move up to something like 300?
Thanks in advance
Yes try a new power supply first... 350 to 500 watts is okay
since my build keeps changing from day to day, i keep needing new advice and opinions on what to do with it. it changes partially due to my proposed budget, and partially because i find that i want to plan more for the future and include certain features.
my biggest concerns are as i suggested in my title.
my concern with my motherboard is that it's from asus.
it was selected because of it's price and the features it offers. i need 2 ide/pata ports, a few SATA ports, at least 1 pci-e 16x, at least 1 pci, at least 4x 240pin pc2 6400 memory slots, and an LGA 775 slot.
but since this one is from ASUS and has lots of complaints, and ASUS is going downhill, i'm hesitant to buy this board. i'm not exactly going to have an awful lot of money to throw around for RMAing parts. i'd like something that's high quality, offers what i want, and doesn't go very much higher than 125 dollars.
i tried looking into a gigabyte board, but i can't find one that has 2 ide/pata slots for a good price, or that doesn't have so many problems.
the other concern is whether or not the psu i selected will power the system well enough. i've selected the Corsair CMPSU-450VX.
my concern is the amperages offered on the 12v rail. i'm not sure if it has enough, let alone how to calculate whether it has enough.

*bump* come on people. advice please?
How can I tell if my power suppy is dead or the motherboard is dead. When I press the power button, nothing happens.
Computer is out of warranty and is a DELL 4600
Please help
You'll need to get your hands on a powersupply and swap it into the DELL to see if thats the problem.
Hey i changed my power suppy the other day they are virtually the same except one has more plugs so I wanted it and the newer one has only 5 amps where the other is six. but anywho I changed them and it word like twice then cut out and now it will not turn on until I unplug it from the motherboard. but the weird thing is my old one doesn't even start when its pluggerd into the motherboard but they both work just fine when when uplugged from the motherboard so what gives?
Possibly too much draw. Did you plug in the P4 plug?
Post complete specs.
I am in a build state with a Asus F1A75-V MB and a Hercules 600wPS. My misfortune is that nothing is simple. The board has a 8 pin EATX12 socket and my PS has a 4-pin & 6 pin 12 connectors. Is there a simple solution, or do I have to change PS?
You can use a 4 to 8 pin EPS power adapter to connect the cpu power.
Something like this........
I use one in one of my computers.
Hercules aren't top of the line power supplies,so make sure
it can handle the load the computer will put on it.
I have an Ultra V Series 500w power supply that has the 12x2, 3x2 and 2x2 connectors. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H which requires the 12x2 (of course), but my question is do I need to plug in the 4x2 connector? I haven't tried booting yet. I'm not running a video or sound card, just the onboard video & sound (if that matters).
Yes you need to plug in the 12V ATX connector This is the 4X2 connector.
As the title suggests, my Lenovo h50-55 may have a possible PSU/Motherboard issue. Because upon turning it on the screen is basically black but the tower will still come on and all the fans will spin still. I have tried taking the ram out and swapping it around, taking the graphics card out and using the monitor ports on the motherboard (VGA) and nothing works. It also doesn't beep or anything upon turning it on and the HDD light is very dim. I orignally thought it was a HDD problem but i managed to install windows 7 on it and it worked perfectly. The monitor works fine too, as i plugged a games console into it and it's fine. Yesterday a family member took it to a PC repair shop and i wrote everything down that i had attempted on it the tower, but he claimed the power supply was "16" and it couldn't be tested to see if it was broken. As modern machines have "20-24" regarding PSU, but i have zero clue what he is talking about and i'll have to call him today and ask lol. I really like the machine too and i don't want to replace it after only having it for two years, so any help would be great. Thank you.Read other answers
An individual built the CPU, running windows XP, 256 memory. Its been up and running for about 1 year. When turning it on the BIOS did not see the hard drive. So I rebooted and went into the BIOS and tried to auto detect the hard drive. It found it, so I saved the configuration and system booted fine. After working for a while I shutdown the system for the day, next day tried booting and same thing occurred. So I went through the same steps as stated above; system came back up. Obviously, a problem and concern here; I couldnt stay to diagnose it at that time, but it was up and running and it was used all day. That afternoon, I went and bought a battery for it thinking that was the problem. After installing the battery and rebooting the system. Right in the middle of the reboot the power supply-dual fan started making a loud noise and the CPU totally died, dead. So of course, next I replaced the power supply-dual fan, thinking maybe it was overheating. After replacing that the fan unit on the motherboard started making a little bit of a noise so I thought what the heck I just replace the fan unit as well. After replacing all of the above everything seems to be working fine. But my question is how do make sure that it was the power supply and its not the motherboard itself. I do not have any fancy equipment like a voltmeter, storage oscilloscope or the PC Power Check. Is there any other way to tell without having just sit and wait or do you think that what I described abo... Read moreRead other answers
Recently I had a problem with my computer where the monitor would not get a signal no matter what and I also tried another monitor and got the same problem. I took out everything other than the motherboard, CPU and RAM. The computer started working so I put everything back in one by one and tested them each individually and it all worked until I put the graphics card back in (GeForce 8800 GTX). Now every time I take the card out of the computer it boots fine and the monitor works, but when I have the card installed the monitor gets no signal, even though it is connected to the motherboards VGA port and not the graphics card. I replaced the GeForce 8800 GTX with an older GeForce 7300 GS and it had the same problem, so now it's happened with two graphics cards even though the monitor was not connected to either of them (I'm hoping this is a sign that my 8800 GTX is not the problem?). When I originally started having the problem and took out the graphics card this problem was still happening, so I have seen it happen both with the video card installed and with the video card out of the computer, but now the computer only works while the card is not installed. I have had people tell me that the motherboard was probably failing, but now the motherboard appears to be working fine...as long as no graphics card is installed (they are both PCI-Express so maybe that slot is is having problems?). Any suggestions what could be going on here? My system specs are in a text file a... Read more

Hey guys,
My motherboard has recently blown and I've had to replace it. My only issue is that it has a different internal power source to my former motherboard and I'm not sure if I can utilise my old power supply with it. I've included pictures of the motherboard connection (the blue one) and the power supply connection. Power supply connection is for a larger connection but it works perfectly with the motherboard, except it is inserted into 4 slots rather than 8.
Is this safe? It seems to be working fine.
Yes it's safe, good explanation here :- http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDFAQs&op=FAQ_Question&ndfaq_id=18
I am working with a friends Emachine T2042 2ghz Celeron. She told me that the machine wouldn't turn on - no lights, POST, etc. I replaced the PSU and am having some problems. Once I connect everything, only the PSU fan and the fan cooling the CPU are operative. No HD lights, POST, etc.
I've checked the 20 pin connection to the MOBO. It seems to be seated correctly. Any other ideas?
Hate to sound brash, but you're yet another person with a bad emachine. The bad news is emachines are notorious for horrible quality computers. This problem is posted ALL the time. The components and construction in emachines are of the cheapest quality. Their PSUs often blow out - often taking the motherboard along with it. If the computer is still under warranty, send it in. If not, test the PSU. You might be able to replace the PSU - however don't be surprised if the motherboard is also fried. If not- you're lucky. If it is toast , you might be able to salvage components and/or data by building another computer yourself.
You can buy a PSU tester for $12 at circuit city.
To all others: AVOID emachines period!
Is it possible to have a motherboard corrupt a power supply?
I have a computer that quite working and I suspected the power supply. I installed a working power supply but that did not help. When I checked the voltage levels on the power supply, the 12 volt pins were only at 11 volts.
Did my motherboard wreck my ATX power supply?
Any help would be appreciated

£85k compensation for 3 year old girl hurt on escalator
A 3 year old girl was awarded £85,000 after an escalator accident left her with serious injuries to her hand.
The girl was visiting the London Underground system with her family. She was using an escalator within the London Underground when her right hand became trapped. She suffered serious injury to her right hand. She suffered traumatic amputation of the ends of 3 of her fingers on her right hand (dominant hand).
Injuries and Progression
The claimant was 3 at the time of the accident and 9 years old at the time of the Trial. The ends of her ring, middle and index fingers were severed. She had an operation on the day of the accident, but this was unsatisfactory in its outcome. A further operation was therefore carried out 2 days after the first operation. The claimant was left with impaired grip between the index finger and thumb.
The claimant's ring finger was severed through the distal interphalangeal joint and a scar remained. The middle finger was amputated just above the joint. The surgeon was able to create a skin flap to cover the amputation. The index finger was severed at the very tip. Part of the nail bed was still intact.
Lliability for the accident was not disputed and the claimant's solicitors entered into negotiations with the defendants insurers to try reach an amicable settlement. Agreement could not be reached and so the claimant commenced court proceedings.
At Trial the claimant was 9 years old. The claimant's scarring had time to settle down. The claimant's injuries were permanent. The claimant was of Pakistani origin coming from a Muslim family. It was said that her chances of marriage were seriously impaired. This was because in such a community any form of physical impairment was viewed as undesirable for a wife.
Because of her injuries the claimant could not use a computer keyboard. She was considered to be likely to be at a disadvantage when seeking employment as a result. The Judge awarded £43,000 for the claimant's pain suffering and loss of amenity. Additional awards were made by the Judge. One for the claimant's disadvantage on the open labour market, the second for the claimant's likely loss of marriage prospects

The Crowsnest Highway, also known as the Interprovincial or, in British Columbia, the Southern Trans-Provincial, is an east-west highway, 1,161 km (721 mi) in length, through the southern parts of British Columbia and Alberta, providing the shortest highway connection between British Columbia's Lower Mainland and southeast Alberta. It is designated a core route in Canada's National Highway System,[1] and is designated as Highway 3 for its entire length.
The highway, which is mostly two lanes, was officially established in 1932, mainly following a mid-19th century gold rush trail originally traced out by an engineer named Edgar Dewdney. It takes its name from the Crowsnest Pass, the location at which the highway crosses the Continental Divide between British Columbia and Alberta.
In British Columbia, the first segment of the highway between the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 5A is locally known as the Hope-Princeton Highway. In Alberta, the highway forms concurrencies with both the Red Coat Trail and the CANAMEX Corridor from Highway 2 west of Fort Macleod to Highway 4 at the eastern limits of Lethbridge.
Highway 3 runs from Hope, BC to Medicine Hat, Alberta and has some of the best scenery and is a drive worth while.
Hope, BC
Meander through the farmlands of the Fraser Valley, drive up the desert-like Fraser Canyon with its historic sites (part of the Ranchlands & Rivers Circle Route), or explore the lush, rain forested parks.
Activities include fishing, geocaching, mountain biking, swimming in alpine lakes, whitewater rafting, skiing – even flightseeing, as well as festivals that celebrate Hope's rich heritage and Aboriginal art galleries such as Ruby Creek and Muskwa Gallery.
The mountains and rivers characterize Hope's diverse hiking experience. There are easy trails that meander past the town's iconic chainsaw carvings and beside Hope's excellent riverside golf course, special walks for Rambo fans (this is where First Blood was filmed), as well as strenuous climbs to mountain tops.
Princeton, BC
Located at the confluence of the Tulameen and Similkameen rivers, with surrounding grasslands, forested highlands, lakes and nearby Cascade Mountains, Princeton is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts.
People are drawn by its natural sights, parks and wildlife. They come to swim, paddle and fish in its waterways and to hike, mountain bike and cross-country ski the region's multitude of trails.
Others discover a different face of the town. Culture buffs visit Princeton to explore historic and heritage sites that tell of its fascinating First Nations traditions and colourful mining history. See curiously eroded hoodoos and the brilliant red cliff where First Nations people mined for ochre.
Osoyoos, BC
Osoyoos is a long-established resort town that takes full advantage of its location on the shores of Osoyoos Lake (reputed to be the warmest in Canada) and its climate with hot dry summers and short mild winters.
The lake, Osoyoos River, wetlands, surrounding grasslands and mountains provide myriad opportunities for water sports, hiking, biking, golf as well as wildlife viewing and bird watching. Osoyoos also offers ecological, aboriginal, cultural and family attractions, along with its spectacular desert sunsets.
There's lots more to Osoyoos than sunshine and beaches. Roadside fruit stands offer peaches, cherries and apples from the area's lush orchards. And more than 20 wineries beckon within 21km/13mi of the town centre.
Castlegar, BC
Castlegar offers access to a variety of seasonal activities both in town and in the surrounding Kootenay Rockies region.
Golfing, hiking, and cycling all take advantage of the area's rolling waterway-cut terrain. Wildlife viewing and camping are great options at Castlegar's parks.
Castlegar also plays a role in Doukhobor (Russian immigrants fleeing religious persecution in the early 20th century) history, which can be experienced at several heritage sites in town, including the Doukhobor Discovery Centre.
Play a round of golf at the championship Castlegar Golf Club or the family-friendly par-3 Little Bear Golf Resort. Take a guided ATV Tour through the mountains around Castlegar with Turtleback Adventures. Grab climbing gear and head for Kinnaird Bluffs. Local climbers say that Castlegar has some of the best rock climbing in BC.
Cranbrook, BC
Travel back in time on a heritage walking tour and explore the town's railway past. Don't miss a visit to the local ghost town Fort Steele.
Come summer, saddle up for a horseback riding vacation, hike, fish and enjoy outdoor festivals. In the winter try snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.
A visit to Cranbrook starts with a journey back in time. Climb aboard the vintage railcars of the Trans Canada Limited at the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel on Van Horne Street South, and see just how luxurious train travel could be in the early part of the 20th century. Not far from the museum, explore the historic Baker Hill district with the self-guided Cranbrook Heritage Walking Tour, available from the Visitor Centre on Cranbrook Street North.
This small slice through southwestern Alberta bursts with big stories to tell. And you'll love it for the distinct character of its resilient people and haunting landscapes.
Founded on coal mining, the five historic communities that make up the municipality of Crowsnest Pass are situated within a few minutes of each other and are great places to explore, not only for the history, but for the beautiful countryside, where the prairies reach for the mountains.
Come to understand the tragedies, triumphs, booms and busts of Bellevue, Hillcrest, Frank, Blairmore and Coleman on this trip that can easily be done in a day. Drive, park, and take some historic hikes along the way.
Lethbridge, Alberta
Picture a lawless 1869 whiskey trading fort patronized by shady characters of the Wild West. The Aboriginals had frequented the region for thousands of years, but it was the unruly trading post that spurred the Mounties to build a barracks nearby. The infamous origins of Lethbridge are now celebrated with an annual party.
Just over two hours southeast of Calgary lies this vibrant city steeped in history, culture and green spaces. The Oldman River winds through Lethbridge, and along its banks is an immense network of urban parks. Spanning the river is the longest and tallest railway bridge in the world, an impressive 1909 engineering feat.
Spend an evening at the theatre, ball game or rockin' out to the live music scene. Grab your clubs and swing into action on a Lethbridge golf course. Join the locals for a barn dance, or get lost in a corn maze. Connect with Alberta's Wild West, then and now.
Scoundrels. Serenity. Bridges. Birds of prey. Here's your insider Lethbridge checklist!
Medicine Hat, Alberta
Medicine Hat is a city of 61,180 people in southeast Alberta, Canada. It is approximately 169 km (105 mi) east of Lethbridge and 295 km (183 mi) southeast of Calgary. This city and the adjacent Town of Redcliff to the northwest are surrounded by Cypress County.
It is situated on the Trans-Canada Highway, the eastern terminus of the Crowsnest Highway, and the South Saskatchewan River. Nearby communities considered part of the Medicine Hat area include the Town of Redcliff (located immediately adjacent to the city's northwest boundary) and the hamlets of Desert Blume, Dunmore, Irvine, Seven Persons, and Veinerville. The Cypress Hills (including Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park) is a relatively short distance (by car) to the southeast of the city.

Weekenders: Riding the Eastern Sierra
Weekenders is an occasional series celebrating the potential of those magical days somewhere between Friday and Monday.
Waking up here is like waking up on a movie set. The set of the kind of film that runs close to three hours, with long expanses of small figures moving slowly through immense landscapes. Think mesmerizing quiet, with the occasional swelling of an orchestra. Simply put, waking up here is breathtaking. 'Here' is the eastern flank of California's Sierra Nevada; a remote, rugged escarpment that separates much of California from the rest of the world to its east. And 'here' is where my adventure-partner, Leah Lind-White, myself, and our trail-loving pup, Tulah, found ourselves waking up, the morning after leaving a long week behind and following our headlights up 395 from Southern California.
It was a marvelous feeling, sticking our heads out the car the first morning and immediately feeling dwarfed by the peaks in the distance and the giant sandbox of rock and dust all around us. With no emails to check or meetings to make, the only limitation was how much water our packs could carry as we headed out to explore the harsh yet enticing landscape all around us.
Alabama Hills, California
On the right, Mount Whitney towers above the rest of the contiguous United States at 14,505 feet.
Another late-night push north, though on this one we found ourselves dustier and more relaxed than the previous nights' flight from civilization. And another morning waking up in what felt like a different world, as we stepped out underneath a pine forest, softly dripping and steaming from overnight rain. Sliding around in powder that seems to have never seen moisture--as we had the day before--is a type of fun that we as current-Southern Californians are perhaps overly proficient in, but the perfect tackiness that awaited us in Mammoth is an undeniable joy for any mountain biker. In case we had somehow forgotten about the magic beneath Mount Whitney of the day before, a few perfect brown-pow turns instantly made all the hours of highway worth it.
Mammoth Lakes, California
Back in the office the next week, I pulled my camera out to begin editing imagery from the weekend. As I set it down, a small shower of Eastern Sierran loam fell to the desk below. I smiled.
Forty-eight hours–what would you do?

During an appearance on the Dick Cavett Show in the 1970s, John Lennon was asked about drug use. He commented: "The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort…why do we have to have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?"
Good question. What is it that drives some people to crave a substance or activity so much that they are willing to risk losing everything of real value in their lives. This is what mental health professionals try to uncover as they work with people who are struggling to overcome substance or behavioural addiction.
At William Osler Health Centre, which has hospitals in Brampton and Etobicoke, addiction treatment is a three-pronged approach: a Substance Abuse Counselling Program, a Problem Gambling Counselling Program, and an inpatient short-stay Withdrawal Management Centre. All three programs are confidential, fully voluntary and available without physician referral.
Patients come from across the region and cross all boundaries of gender, income, education level, age and social strata. While an alcoholic homeless person may be more visible, the treatment programs are just as likely to be filled with well paid executives or middle-class suburbanites who take great pains to keep their habits hidden.
Many clients in the problem gambling program for instance are professionals who usually begin gambling in a social way, with an outing to a racetrack or casino as a way to relax. But as with all addictions, what really draws them in is the sense of release and excitement that they get from feeding their habit.
"It's a form of escape, a coping mechanism," said Versa Dean, addiction counsellor. "We all have a set of behaviours that we're addicted to, we all have things we do to deal with issues in our lives. And addictions can begin so innocently!" She gives an example of a young woman who was dealing with the stress of a new job and having trouble sleeping. The girl started having a drink at night to relax, which soon became a habit and eventually snowballed into a full-fledged drinking problem.
In addition to the mental health aspect, substance abuse – alcohol, tobacco, glue, illegal and prescription drugs, etc. – causes physiological changes that affect both mind and body. This can pose a danger to the addicted person or people around them and add to the difficulty of the treatment process.
In times of crisis or when there is an urgent need for inpatient treatment, Osler's Withdrawal Management Centre provides crisis support and non-medical care for adults on a short-stay basis. The centre provides a safe supportive atmosphere for both men and women who need immediate help. Clients initially spend a few hours in a monitored area until they are stable enough to move to a room (there are a total of 20 beds in separate male and female wards). Most people stay at the centre from four to five days. The staff provides support with physical withdrawal and also works with clients to develop a longer term treatment plan. This may include referral to one of Osler's counselling services and/or referral to residential treatment programs. The centre's coordinator, Theresa Riehl, said, "It's hard to define success when you're talking about addiction. It may be someone who never has another drink for the rest of his or her life, or perhaps someone who goes a year without drugs. It could be getting someone back to work. We try to work with each person to help them achieve their goals."
Kamali Sampathkumar, addiction counsellor in the Problem Gambling Counselling Program, agreed that it is the clients themselves who hold the keys to overcoming their addictions. She noted that the root causes of addiction are innumerable – lack of self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, a stressful job or episode in a person's past, for example. Self-knowledge – understanding the causes and recognizing the 'red flags' that trigger cravings – is the first step on the long road to recovery.

Hello! I was considering our word limit, and how time-consuming it can be to check how many words you have. Perhaps - if it's not too much trouble - you could add a word count at the bottom of the post to make things easier to keep track of. I believe this would be beneficial to our younger users to come.

Town and commune in the province of Potenza, southern Italy. Known for its strategic position on top of a rocky hill, it was a Roman colony and subsequently coveted by Byzantines, Goths, and Lombards. During this time it was under the authority of Benevento, and later on Salerno. It was conquered in ...

Roger Stalley
Site of an obscure Early Christian settlement formerly known as Kilclispeen (St Crispin's Church) in Co. Tipperary, Ireland. The only remains are two outstanding stone crosses and the base of a third (c. 750–900), which are situated in a graveyard below the village. The crosses belong to a well-defined regional group and were constructed of three characteristic elements: a square base with sloping sides, a shaft with an unusually wide ring and a peculiar, rather ill-fitting, conical cap (the latter missing on the south cross). With its capstone, the north cross measures 3.7 m in height. The form of the Ahenny crosses is emphasized by a bold cable ornament along the outer contours. Projecting from the main faces are sculpted bosses, the most prominent feature of the 'Ahenny school'. The ring and shaft of the crosses are covered with dense patterns of carved ornament, including interlace, spirals, frets, entangled beasts and interlocking men. Much of this decoration can be compared with the metalwork and manuscript illumination of the period, and it appears that the sculptors were in effect transposing altar or processional crosses into stone. With the addition of pigment, the analogy with metalwork would have been complete. In contrast to the shafts and rings, the bases bear figure sculpture in low relief. That on the north cross is best preserved and represents Adam and Eve with the animals in the Garden of Eden, a chariot procession (a theme repeated on other Irish crosses), seven ecclesiastics (possibly symbolizing Christ's mission to the Apostles) and an enigmatic funeral procession with a headless corpse....

It is some 300 m above the main road between Silifke (anc. Seleucia) and Konya (anc. Iconium), 21 km north of Mut (anc. Claudiopolis).

This Byzantine artist was working around the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century. Employed as painter to the king Milutin, he had many assistants in his studio, including in particular his sons Entychios and Mikhail.

The West Virginia House of Delegates voted yesterday to raise the state minimum wage in three stages to $7.25 by 2008. The bill, HB 4023, passed by a margin of 87-10 and has been communicated to the state Senate. It is unclear what the Senate intends to do with the bill.
My buddies Jeremiah and Malachi had some comments about the bill that I thought I would pass along to any Senators who may be stopping by the blog.
Jeremiah says, "Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice; who makes his neighbors work for nothing, and does not give them their wages." (Jeremiah 22:13)
Not to be outdone, Malachi quotes God in making his case, "So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me," says the LORD Almighty. (Malachi 3:5)
Whoa there Malachi, you're saying judgment of those who defraud laborers of their wages is the same as that reserved for sorcerers and adulterers?
I guess Delegate Mitch Carmichael (R) who said "there is no moral imperative" requiring a minimum wage in an interview on Talkline this morning missed that part of your book.

I live in the countryside and enjoy the quiet and peace that it gives me. I love listening to the birds and watching the sky as it takes shape. Also there are many memories along the way of music and T.V. shows in the past I love to share with my viewers. Feel free to check out my other blog at http//www.musicnostalgic.wordpress.com.
Where ever you are in the world I ask for you to come join me. First off, before we start. Stop, get up. Turn off all distractions; radio, T.V., kid's (if you have kid's tell them that I Backalleymomma would like them to come sit quietly and listen. See what they can hear), fans, everything. Grab your drink, snack or what ever, sit down and listen to this next video. This is my world for the most part. See the area out from where the vehicles, grass and the trees are. Just imagine something to sit on, possibly a nice quaint table. It is May 25th, 2011. The sun has just come out. NO ONE is up, except the birds . Listen…… the birds are singing good morning everyone, it is gonna be a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l day. Isn't it. Now is this a nice way to start your morning or what. Now sit back and relax and later today we will walk over, just on the other side of those trees (that's my neighbor across the street from me,…she has a duck pond behind her house) there is a duck pond and we will go in the mid to early afternoon when it's gotta fairly warm, siesta time, and lay our blankets on the grass and have our mid afternoon snack while we watch the birds and the fowl on the pond. It's a nature made pond as you can see. So later on today when it is time to stop for a snack come to my duck pond and join me. I look forward to seeing you. Oh yes and your comments. Now you have a nice day okay. Bye for now. We will talk to you later. Enjoy the show.
So if you just hang in there while I find my way around blogging I hope to make it interesting and nostalgic. So here goes. Oh yes my other blog is http//www.musicnostalgic.wordpress.com Enjoy!

Vernissage: 30/05/2013, at 7:30 PM

InformationThe relationship between the information and political projects is at the ground of Angie Bonino's work: the political modernity and, especially, the Nation-State's demiurgic project that aims at constructing a shared reality for a territory and a people, carries with it many contradictions. Among the obstacles, the transnational dynamics of capitalism have a central position, by producing a strong uncertainty about the place and form of the political power..
In this framework, the information overload has favored the emergence of the figure of conspiracy, which constitutes the basis of Angie Bonino's approach, by questionning the relevance of the official story and its mode of production. The artist takes on a political ontology which relies on a reality that would be distributed on a double level: the official one, at the surface, and a deeper level to which a serie of clues and evidence could lead. .
The project "Tras las huellas del delito" gives a form to an ongoing investigation through an activist space that connects positions, speeches and hidden intentions: it aims at counteracting "the grammar of normality", a set of rules that promotes the official story as the sole legitimate to deal with reality at a large scale.
Opening: Thursday 30/05/2013, at 7:30 PM

hundreds of designs to choose from!
Rock out your wardrobe by wearing Rockstar Guitar Cufflinks. Colored in bright red to mimic the flashy guitar played by Eddie Van Halen, these cufflinks even include replicas of the knobs that help guitarists adjust pitch and volume. Black enamel runs up the neck of this miniature guitar to complement the glossy red nicely. Watch the party turn up the tempo the minute you walk into the room. If you play in a band, this pair of cufflinks represents an affordable way to thank your band mates.
These little red guitars are the best. I love the color, and the little details like the tuning knobs and the frets add to their charm. These would be a great gift for the weekend rock star.

I have owned my iPhone since July 2008 and I can genuinely say it is the best mobile computing device I have ever owned. And I have had a few in my time, including the legendary Psion 5MX and, more recently it's modern cousin the Nokia E90.
What makes it so special? Well aside from the obvious, form factor and user interface, it is the applications that never cease to amaze me. With that in mind , I figured i'd share my five top apps;
1. Twinkle
A location aware, Twitter app. It's increasingly more popular than Twitteriffic and free to. My twitter client of choice. Over and above any OSX app I have ever used.
2. WordPress
Having installed WordPress on my website server, it is now my CMS of choice. The WordPress client on my iPhone enables me to blog directly on my iPhone. Sure this version doesn't have all the features from the web based version but it can handle images and save draft posts.
3. EasyTask
My GTD app of choice. There are a whole bunch in the apps store, I have tried several but found myself coming back to EasyTask. It includes all the features you'd expect, projects, contexts and a nice 'dashboard' view. It also enables you to sync tasks to the cloud. Oh and it's free.
4. X-Plane
It's not always work on the iPhone. Far from it. This flight simulator was ported from OSX. Put simply. It's stunning. The graphics, use of the iPhone's acceloromator, frame rate and rendering make this, without doubt a must for any flight sim fan.
5. Mail
A core Apple app out of the box but it's simplicity and functionality is both intuitive and crisp. With push and fetch enabled, I'm never more than one minute away from my email.
I literally have six slide screens worth of apps. Most of which didn't make my top five cut. However, pretty much all of them are top class. I'll post again, with a further five.
Given the interest in the platform I'll also post regular app reviews.

The case for a University of the Lake District was reactivated this week with the publication of new proposals to merge a handful of colleges across Cumbria to form a new federal university.
The idea relies on an ambitious collaboration with a dozen colleges and university sites in the region, but nearby University of Central Lancashire is critical of the plans, claiming they are "inappropriate".
Pro vice chancellor James Lusty said much of what was envisaged was already in place in the region thanks to its associate college scheme that offers franchised higher education to 1,000 students. Central Lancashire also runs an electronic academic library for the Northwest, an idea that also features in the proposal.
"While we want to support increased higher education for Cumbria, this idea is out of date and not really appropriate and we have a number of reservations about it," Professor Lusty said.
The University of the Lakes was first mooted two years ago by Labour' MP Dale Campbell-Savours as a multi-campus federal university serving an international customer base.
Mr Campbell-Savours, MP for Workington, said the Lake District was uniquely placed because of its natural beauty to attract students from overseas and from other regions. But he stressed that a disproportionate number of local youngsters were failing to take part in higher education for historical and cultural reasons that the University of the Lakes was designed to overcome.
"Parents I talk to are increasingly worried about sending their offspring to inner-city universities," he said. "I believe they will be more attracted to a rurally based university where they will feel more secure."
A bid to the Millennium Commission for funding by Cumbria County Council was unsuccessful and new sources of backing are now being sought.
The model published this week proposes the establishment of a company limited by guarantee comprising the colleges and universities delivering services in Cumbria. Ultimately the aim would be to gain degree-awarding powers and the title "university" for the institution. Students would attend the existing college campus closest to their home and take part in lessons and tutorials using interactive video conferencing.
Groups of students could thus be smaller than would be economically viable by conventional means.

This telescope was erected as a replacement for the unsuccessful 9½-foot zenith telescope that had been set into the rear of the stone pier that carried the Troughton 6-foot Mural Circle in 1812. Its purpose (like that of its predecessor) was presumably to determine the zenith point of the Mural Circle by comparing observations of γ Draconis.
The history of the 8-foot Achromatic Zenith Telescope is somewhat elusive. An inventory of instruments dated 26 June 1818 is preserved in the Royal Society Archives (RS MS372/170). Compiled for the Visitors by the First Assistant, Thomas Taylor, it appears to show that at that time, the 9½-foot zenith telescope was still in situ. But all is now what it seems: either the date is incorrect, or Taylor compiled the list in a very sloppy manner as there is no mention of either the α Aquilae or the α Cygni fixed telescopes which were both installed in 1816. A later inventory (RS MS372/171) that appears to date from the 1820s (1824?) states that the 9½-foot instrument had been removed to the Transit Room and 'an eight feet achromatic substituted'. To date, no further references to the 8-foot achromatic have been found in any primary source or in contemporary publications (such as Greenwich Observations) during research for this web-site.
Although it may have happened earlier, it seems most likely that the telescope was dismounted in 1848 when preparations began to convert the Circle Room into the room for the new Transit Circle. It also seems probable that the instrument was subsequently hung on one of the walls of the Transit Circle Room with the other historic instruments. It should be noted however that although Airy and Christie gave a list of the instruments that had been hung from the walls in their introductions to the volumes of Greenwich Observations no mention was ever made of the 8-foot achromatic.
Howse (1975) appears to have unearthed more information, though its accuracy cannot be verified. According to him, the Zenith Telescope carried the 2¾-inch Object Glass (OG) from Bradley's Transit Instrument which had been dismounted in 1816. He gives the date of the telescopes erection as 1816, although elsewhere he states that the OG wasn't removed from the Transit Instrument until 1820. He gives the Maker as P & J Dollond, London and goes on to say that the telescope was put on display in Flamsteed House in 1960 and moved to a place close to its original position in the Meridian Building in time for its opening in 1967.
The instrument is preserved in the collections of the National Maritime Museum, but not currently on display (Collection ID: AST0997).
