At idle! Running the BIOS Setup Menu is probably the least demanding of all tasks we can ask of our computers. Also, computer parts heat up...
Something is funny. If your room temp is around 20°C, there's no way blowing 20°C air on a device will cool the device cooler than the air...
Are you experiencing performance problems? If not, I would not worry about it. Many programs are not coded to support more than one core. Or...
When you formatted the floppy, did you make it bootable?
Sorry. I need more caffeine.
I would try a new PSU before spending money on a new motherboard. Lights on the motherboard only indicate the presence of +5VSB voltage. They do...
I agree with retiredlearner - though in spite of his name, I doubt highly he has stopped learning! ;) Not sure what you mean by the C drive is...

IMO, a surge protector is little is little more than a fancy and expensive extension cord, or in this case, 6-way splitter. Even the best surge...
Well, not sure it is worth anything, but I agree with your assessment.

Good point - but then that would be two bad inverters - certainly possible, but it makes you wonder.
At least that way, you can use a larger screen, full sized keyboard, real speakers, and mouse! That said, if the computer works fine otherwise,...
Yeah, "shrink wrap" EULAs are pretty much a thing of the past - thanks to downloads and trial periods. For those unaware, what used happen...
Power - or rather, bad power would be my guess. And sadly, I would suspect it is the power regulator/charging circuits inside the notebook - that...
As I noted above, if you have a full "Retail" license, you are perfectly legal to install Windows from that disk to a new computer, or with an...
Note sure what you want me to see on the MS site - it says the same thing I have been saying - only retail licenses are transferable. As it says...
Thanks Matt. You are correct they have to allow you to do a certain amount of upgrading - and they do with no problems. But "upgrading" the...
