Usb Adapter To Bypass Audio Port
Some time back, i was for some reason or other using a male-to-female audio plug adapter that went between my headphones into my computer's audio port. Unfortunately this adapter had the quirk that the metal part of the male plug was made of a cylinder and a separate end bit which plugged loosely into the cylinder, and was easily broken off. Sure enough, it broke off - while in the computer's audio port. And there it has remained since, wedged in there, nearly impossible to move. Since the end bit is stuck right in the back of the audio port as it would be in normal usage, but slanted, it actually works almost properly. I can use the cylindrical part of the male adapter plug to touch the back of the end bit, and the right channel of the headphones works fine. If i don't plug the headphones into the adapter quite right, i can get the right channel to be repeated, mono-style, in the left channel of the headphones as well. This is actually a stable and working solution, but i'd like to be able to hear in stereo once again. Solution:
To be able to do that, either i have to get the thinnest, flattest pliers in the world and try to pull the end bit out (the accessible part is a fairly small, theoretically grippable cylinder), or i have to find a way to bypass the audio port, preferably using a usb adapter into which i can plug the headphones directly. This computer isn't exactly a new model so i'm hoping for a cheap but good solution; i've done some researching and such adapters seem to cost $100 or more, which is crazy. I'm hoping for a cheaper bypass. But even with such a part, the computer would need to use the usb port instead of the audio port, and i have no idea how to make that happen. Any suggestions?

8 Beeps On Startup
First time builder that's unfortunately having a lot of issues getting my new system to post at all, installing everything went relatively fine, except for the installation of the hyper 212 plus heatsink, which had the worst directions and mounting brackets, but eventually that was installed as well. However after setting everything up and plugging everything in, the system will not post, but only attempts to start up and then the error speaker starts emitting 8 second very fast beeps, after each 8 second interval it stops for a second and then continues. I've tried switching the memory, and according to my motherboard manual continuous short beeps mean a power issue or the gpu is not seated corrected?
I've checked my gpu and it's fine, and the power supply seems to be ok as the phase lights are on and the fans are running. Is there any way to check the powersupply to see if thats the issue?
My system specs are:
I7 860
Asus 5870
Gigabyte ga-p55-ud4p
G. Skill ripjaws series 4gb (2 x 2gb) 240-pin ddr3 sdram ddr3 1600
Cooler master hyper 212 plus
Corsair 850 tx

Computer Shuts Off After Startup
I just put together a new comp and unfortunately when i go to start it, it stays on for about a second and then shuts off, it only stays on long enough for the lights to flash and the fans to move just a bit, then it shuts down. I have been looking at different troubleshooting pages and they all have given me different answers to my prob, a few said pcu, some said motherboard, some said power supply, and one said memory. I wanted to know if anyone can give me an informed opinion on what might be causing the problem.

Boot Up Problem On Startup, Xp
I'm pretty good at taking computers apart, upgrading and putting them back together again, but trouble shooting is not bag unless i have come accross the problem before. A freind of mine asked me to look at her computer, the problem being when she boots it up she gets passed the loading screen on xp, where the bar goes from side to side, then the screen just goes dead, no blue screen just a monitor not connected error message on the screen. Now the monitor is connected properly. I've had the case off, the psu is working at 100%, i've cleaned it and it's putting mine to shame tbh. Cleaned the crap out of the heat sink and the second case fan so it's not a heating problem. Now i obviously do not want to just swap parts at her expense until i know what the exact problem is. I'm going with either the hardrive or motherboard but i'm not sure which one. It has been turned off by her daughter at the main switch a few times rather than being shut down properly which leads me to a hardrive problem. Any takers?

New Memory Preventing Startup
Ok, i have tried purchasing some new memory for my windows me amd athlon 950mhz, 100mhz external bus gateway computer, bought in 2000. It only had 64mb memory. I am no expert, but did try hard to make sure i got the right one, using the gateway web site. Anyway, it appeared i needed pc133 sdram dimm (168pin) non eec memory, and i ordered a 512mb stick. I installed it this evening and when i boot up, nothing - blank screen. Obviously i believe a memory error. Now gateway's site says 133mhz dimm is what is needed for this machine (based on entering the serial number) however now reading posts here, i think it should be 100/133mhz. Is there such a thing?
Could anyone help, and give me an idea as to exactly what i should be ordering. I can't return this memory, but i can use it elsewhere, but i would like to know exactly what i should be looking for and ordering.

Bootmagic Message At Startup
I setup my machine to dual boot win nt and win98 (separate partitions). I tried to use bootmagic as my boot manager but the damn program wouldn't even let me boot (came up with ". |. " At every boot and froze). After many reformats and failed bm installations, i finally decided to use nt's boot loader instead. But i have an annoying prompt at startup that says something like:
. |. Cannot find btmagic.img
Press any key to load from active partition. After pressing a key, it goes to the nt boot loader with both os listed and everything is fine. I have win98 on c: (active) and also the nt load files on there (formatted fat, of course). Does anyone know how to get rid of that damn message?

Computer Keeps Restarting At Startup
Ok so yesterday i was on my computer and it froze so i shut it off. When it started up it had the windows has recovered from a serious error so i looked into it and it said something about 2 temp files, so i went into my temp folder and i think i deleted them. My computer was working fine and then i come on it this morning and it is off, when i try starting it up it goes through the bios screen then just restarts, the screen stays on. I can get into the bios screen but im not sure i can do much. Ive had this computer for a while (2+years) and ive had it fixed a few times. Any possible reasons why this is happening.

Hp Laptop Wont Startup?
I have a hp envy model g60-635dx, i've had it about 7 months and everything has been fine up until now. About a week ago whenever i started it up it would take a few times but it would go and would run normally, but now it won't start up at all. When i start it up it will go all the way until the windows logo that says starting up, or it will go to the loading screen before you choose the profile, and sometimes it will start all the way up but it won't let you do anything then after a couple minutes it will just go to a black screen like it does for everything else. I can get on if i go to the safe mode but i can't figure out what's wrong. The automatic updater won't show up so i can't get it to see if i have a virus or not. Does anyone know what might possibly be the problem or have any recommendations for any websites that might tell me?

Any Way To Get A Usb Keyboard To Working During Startup ?
I have an issue that is really annoying. When my system is starting up, i can't use my usb keyboard. I can use it to get into the bios, but past that part, it doesn't work, so if i need to choose safe mode, or boot from cd, i have to use my backup ps/2 keyboard. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Startup Gives A Disk Read Error
This is a problem my mom is having with her computer, so this might be slightly vague. Until today she was having no problems. However, today she turned the computer on, got the startup blurb, it went to the windows loading screen but decided to just stay on that screen with the windows loading bar just continuing on its merry way. She decided to restart the computer, the startup screen came up but then it apparently went to blue screen of death. She pressed whatever key it was and it went to another screen that said, 'disk read error - press ctrl, alt, delete to restart'. Now since i been speaking to her it just goes straight to the disk read error screen after the startup screen, no windows loading, nothing.

On Startup, Computer Will Completely Turn Off
For some reason, on my friend's computer shortly after start up the computer will completely turn off. There was recently an electrical storm in the area, so i believe that may have something to do with it. I managed to get into the computer's setup, and the processor and ram show up. Unfortunately shortly after i looked around in the setup the computer just turned off. When i tried to start it back up, i had to unplug and replug in the psu for the computer to turn on. Is it safe to say the psu is fried? Or could it be something else? Any help is appreciated.

On Startup Power Goes Down For 2, 3 Sec, Then Comes Back
The problem is just at startup, when i push the power the computer starts for maybe a second (all fans light and start including psu and the mobo lights up), then all power apparently goes down for about 2 or 3 sec, then all power comes back and everything from that time on is normal, the voltages of the psu are well with in tolerance, as matter of fact never seen voltages so close. And the computer is stable from that on, its just on the startup. Im not sure if this is normal o not, im think its not, but if its not i am guessing it could be either psu or mobo. Maybe there is power-saving stuff that i don't know that might be causing this, im really lost here, maybe someone else have experience something similar that can suggest me something.system:-
Intel core i7 920
Gigabyte ga-ex58-ud3r

Noctua nh-u12p se

Pc Beeping On Startup, Ram Problem
Im sorry if this has been brought up before, but i was just trying to upgrade my pcs ram. I ordered some new 512k ram from ebay and when i plugged it in and restarted my computer, i got continuous beeps and nothing comes up on monitor. I tried removing the new ram and plugging in my old ram (which previously worked), but same problem. Ive tried using all of the 3 slots but no use. I tried using my old ram in a different pc and it works. I did some research and the beeps i get are 1 beep immediately after start, and then 3 continuous short beeps. I read on another forum that it means "beeps 1-3-3-3 2a clear 512k base ram!"
After some investigation i found out that the ram i got from ebay is ddr2 ram while the ram i previously had was ddr. So maybe by plugging in wrong ram in wrong dimm has caused this, and messed my system up. Have i messed up my ram slots ?

Windows Vista Startup Problem
In the past couple of days it seems that every night when i go to turn off my computer. It does its normal stuff. It installs the updates then turns off. The problem is that around 7 o clock in the morning when i turn it on it just keeps loading the windows vista bar at the bottom. Usually it only does 2 passes then it starts up but it will do this for up to an hour! Well, anyway i built the computer and everything. I will give you some specs. Intel pentium dual core e 5200 @ 2. 8ghz
2gb corsair ddr2 800 xms2
Gtx 260 graphics
80 gb hitatchi deskstar 80gb ide hd
Coolermaster 310 elite case. Msi g31 p21 board
Coolmax 600watt powersupply
Windows vista (red) ultimate 64 bit
When i had windows xp installed this was never the problem. However it took quite some time to boot all of the time. Then, it seems as if i wiggle around the molex connector (4 pin) going into the hard drive, and wiggle the ide cord the computer will boot up. I do not know that the problem is here. I would rather get new cables than a new hard drive.

When i had windows xp installed this was never the problem. However it took quite some time to boot all of the time. Then, it seems as if i wiggle around the molex connector (4 pin) going into the hard drive, and wiggle the ide cord the computer will boot up. I do not know that the problem is here. I would rather get new cables than a new hard drive.

Light Blue Welcome Screen At Startup - Windows Xp
My computer used to take about 2 seconds consistently in the light blue "welcome" screen for the past 2 years or so. Sometimes, it used to take about 6 seconds. And this mainly occured when my internet was down. So i knew that when the "welcome" screen took longer my internet was most likely down. Recently, after a few windows automatic updates, a service pack 3 install or i am not sure if when my dvd burner stalled the "welcome" screen is taking longer than usual, about 6 seconds. However, my internet is working fine. From your experience, what is the typical time it takes for the "welcome" screen to go through?
Does taking longer at the "welcome" screen an indication that there is a conflict or is it just loading information?

Dell Inspiron 6000 Startup Problem
Earlier today, i started getting pop-ups from a program called antimal ware doctor (yes, i now know it's a virus) and suspected that it was a virus. I force quit any of the windows it opened until it gave me multiple messages at a time telling me to update my "malware software" and that there were several threats on my computer. Not knowing what to do, i restarted my computer. Unfortunately, now whenever i turn on my computer, it doesn't start up. It goes past the dell loading page and then to a black screen. Also, when i type, i get loud beeps and 2 of the symbols flash orange regardless of how much i charge it. I've tried starting it with "safe mode" but i ended up getting just a page of messages i didn't understand. How can i get my dell inspiron 6000 to start up?

G4 Mac Stuck On Apple Startup Screen
G4 mac stuck on apple startup screen after update? I recently bought a used g4 powerpc with 10. 4. 4 installed. I updated it to 10. 4. 11 using a usb stick, seeing as i haven't connected it to the internet yet. The installation finished and the mac restarted twice. The second time, it stayed on the apple logo screen a while. I haven't had a mac before, so i assumed it was just finishing up the update. 2 hours later and nothing had changed. I don't have the original installation disk, but i have ran fsck, with confusing results. It told me the computer "appears to be ok", but when i attempted to reboot, it said there were some segmentation faults. http://yfrog.com/j1dsc0000128j - http://yfrog.com/afdsc0000129j - http://yfrog.com/2mdsc0000130j - http://yfrog.com/50dsc0000131j . I should also add that i swapped the cd drive for a dvd drive just before i updated, but the drive was working fine even before i updated, and the problem persists even after removing the dvd drive.

Two Tone Beep On Startup And Freezing At Windows Screen
I am fixing a computer for a friend. He installed a new video card and power supply. He got an error that said to "run the card at a low setting or upgrade the bios" (what he said). So he upgraded the bios. When he did this the computer started giving a continuous two tone beep after the normal single bios beep and would not get past the windows is starting screen. I booted the comp with the winxp disk and used the 'r' choice. And just did a system scan in dos. This caused the freezing to happen when the background appeared but nothing else. It also started saying that i needed to register that copy of windows xp. The time from the windows start screen to the background appearing is very long, about 1-2 minutes the rest of the startup looks normal. I have also tried to switch out the power supply (to a higher wattage), change the ram, change back to the original video card, reset the bios, reinstall the bios. Nothing works. The only thing i can figure is that it is a cpu, motherboard problem or something with the bios i am not getting. The cpu is not running hot according to the bios and there is no speed restriction, afaict, on the fan. It just lists its rpms. 3 of the motherboard capacitors have leaked slightly from the top at sometime in the past. Does this mean it is the motherboard and the bios change was just a coincidence?

Scan Lines On Startup - Windows 7 Wont Boot
I have an nvidia 8800gts video card (not currently as its not working. ) And when i have the evga plugged in, i get video, but i get horrid vertical scanlines where it just looks like the screen is misplaced. When the windows seven logo loads up and it goes to the next screen, it remains black and eventually goes to bsod. I have tried to update the drivers for my 8800gts to no avail. Now. I am currently using my nvidia 8500 gt, but the evga port doesn't work. I get no signal. I have tried using another evga adapter but i still get the same result. As of now im using the regular vga port on my 8500 gt. Have all my adapters gone to crap? Or is there something more going on here. ?

Hp Pavilion Dv9000 Makes Beeping Sound On Startup
My hp pavilion dv9000 makes a beeping sound (one long and two short ones) on startup (screen is black) help? It has been happening for almost 2 weeks now. At first i was able to turn it back on (after a certain amount of time) and it would work perfectly. Now it doesn't turn on at all, just those 3 beeps and a black screen. So i figured that i would have to reinstall windows 7 (completely wiping out everything out of my laptop and reinstalling the program). During the installation i had to restart. So i did and the 3 beeps kept continuing. So it took me 2 hours to turn it back on after that (while the computer was off) i switched the 2 rams around nothing happened. Has my computer finally crapped out on me? Would i have to take it to hp for them to repair it?

Windows Xp Startup Problem - Blue Screen, Reboot, Repeat
I have not used this computer for the past couple of years, and the few times i've tried to turn it on recently, i get a blue screen that reads:
Stop: c0000221 {bad image checksum}
The image ole32.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum. The way it happens is that after the windows xp logo screen shows up (the one with the "loading" bar), i get a blue screen that flashes so quickly i can't read it, and then the computer restarts. I can get the blue screen to stay by hitting f8 repeatedly as the computer boots up, then selecting "disable automatic restart on system failure" from the menu. Also from that f8 screen, i have tried starting in the following modes but the same problem happens, where it gets to the xp logo/loading screen, then has the blue screen flash and reboots:
- Safe mode
- Last known good configuration
- Debugging mode
I have been pointed to this page (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?Scid=kb;en-us;326687&product=winxp) but i am a little confused by it, especially because i don't have a windows 98 or me disk. (This computer came from dell in 2000 with windows 98 on it, and i installed xp on it a year or two later from a windows xp professional cd, and used the computer successfully for the next few years, installing a service pack or two along the way. I can't find a way to follow their instructions to create a windows 98 start-up disk from ms-dos because i am not running 98 on this machine. )
Other message boards have suggested to try going into "repair" mode by inserting my windows xp installation disk. I followed the instructions here (http://www.Michaelstevenstech.com/xprepairinstall.htm), without backing up my data because i can't get into my operating system to do that. (I realize that is risky; didn't think i really had a choice. ) I got as far as step 3, as listed under "xp repair install. " But when i hit "enter" to start the windows setup, i got this message:
"Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. "Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program. "Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, press f3. "
Now, the computer came with a 20gb harddrive in 2000. At the beginning of 2005, a friend installed a new harddrive for me, 250gb, which replaced the 20gb. (The 20gb is no longer in there. ) The 250gb drive shows up in the list of drives on the black-with-white text bios screen that shows up at the beginning of each reboot, so something must be detecting the drive. So i don't know what to do now! Is my only option get a new harddrive, install xp on it, then run my current hard drive as a slave in order to pull files off it?

Cannot Bring Up Bios Screen On Pressing Del Key At Startup
I am trying to checkout a computer (hp pavillion 9880, running win me, 1. 5 ghz)for a friend.computer does nor boot up. The hardrive just clicks away. When i unplug the hardrive the noise stops. I have used a startup disk and that will boot up. What i cannot bring up is the bios screen when pressing the del key during startup. Is this also caused by a hardrive problem or is this a motherboard problem. When i try to search for the c drive from the a prompt on the startup disk i get "invalid drive specification" msg. I am typing c:. I think maybe i am leaving something out.
