As long as you haven't any issues, I'm sure it will be ok. Test it very well.

You've tested without the graphic card? I think the 4830 as a power connector. Check that connector and the one that come from the PSU to connect it, if there's any loose contact. Test again and see if the fan is working. I've a spare graphic card, that I use for testing. I can lend it to you while you do the tests. It would take some days to arrive you, of course. It's always better that the PSU goes with PC, in case you go into a shop.

With his symptoms, my experience as a professional PC technical maintenance for more than 20 years, tells me it's hardly only a PSU failure. Lights, fans working, usually it's motherboard failure. But with a graphic card fan not working, is reasonable to think that the graphic card fried out, and thus I would start at that point. The culprit still can be a faulty PSU, but I doubt in his case it's only a case of PSU, for the reasons pointed by Skatezilla. If it's a case of faulty motherboard I would also check the PSU, specially if it's not from a reliable brand and it's just an ordinary Chinese built one. But this should be seen by a repair technician, specially when you don't have or don't have access to spare parts for testing.

Flyby, that describes perfectly what happens in my country too. And I'm sure we can extend to all Europe. We are ruled by the same class of parasites. We are working and being enslave to the same pimps. Some of them don't have a public face, but they are there, screwing us, finishing our small businesses, smashing our own ability for free enterprise, all in the name of greed. Justice, which is the fundamental pillar of Democracy, is absent. Without it, Democracy cannot function. And what we're witnessing today, in our Western countries, is the death of democracy. And in whole we're guilty, due to our indifference and accommodation, these bags of pus come into power. I'm afraid that hard times are coming. We all know where this will lead, if things don't change. And I don't believe it. The beast is uncontrolled.

All right. Then don't sell at that price. Don't offer their asses, wifes and kids to make a deal with the big retailers. The issue is that everything is unbalance nowadays. And it's set to serve a few. We are living in a big lie, that things have to be this way.

I've seen this s**t happens a lot of times nowadays, from cars companies, ISPs, insurances, electricity providers, banks, etc. I'm sick and tired of their bulls**t. The last decade of greedy financial capitalism brought us into this. This will not prevail, but it will take time and things will be even worst before that. My father, after the Portuguese revolution said that we should put all communists in arena and shot them all. 40 years later, probably he would repeat the same speech but this time he would replace the poor commies by these real leechers. They are like cancer. Sorry, but when I hear a case like your case and Simon's, I become real angry. Write a letter to Lenovo, maybe with the help of a lawyer friend, reporting the whole issue. Probably you won't get any positive response. But that's the only thing you can do Also contact a consumer defense organization, one that really works.

I usually follow Tom's suggestions. But it depends on your local market.http://www.tomshardw...iew,3107-2.html

There's only one way, and that is to test with another graphic card. You card is fried, probably that fan have stop working for some time. The beeps are not a standard feature for every motherboard, as far as I know. Alas, it's bios beeps and depends on manufacturer and bios version. I've seen fried graphic cards and no BIOS post no nothing. And it was only the graphic card. Other times is like the other folks said here, you hear beeps, or even the computer startup but without any screen image. It depends. Like Parky said, I too would begin with the graphic card.

The USB port defect can only happen when somebody forces it, or a mal function device short circuit it. I would follow letter by letter what Flyby PC said. I'm afraid that in 2005 were different times, and now probably even Dell wouldn't react the same as it did. Corporate bulls**t. f***ers. They overrule us constantly. That's why I always suggest to people that they test throughly their computers in the first 15 days, and at the minimum annoyance return back and demand a refund. We all know that the material used is cheaper and although the quality of assembling (in China) is better then a couple of years ago, the overall is wost.

+1 Only I don't buy anymore planes, and have stop flying it. I'll fly again only when P4 will be released. I want a WWI combat simulator not a WWI flight simulator. I want the WWI feeling (without the blood and the dirty smell).

I'm sure you can do it.

Instead of having multiple threads, I though to start this thread for good game deals. Here is one: IL-2 Stumovik: Cliffs of Dover - €9.99 http://www.getgamesg...cliffs-of-dover I don't know how long, this deal will last. Usually it's not for long. Unfortunately I bought it last week in the Steam's sales. €9.99 it's a damn good price.

Welcome back, Siggi. It was a long time since I saw your last post. But the good son always return home.

Apocalypse Now (without the Redux). I didn't remember when I last watched a good war film, but in the last weeks, I saw two Finnish war movies which were quite good. Talvisota and Tuntematon Sotilas (1985). One is about the "Winter War" and the other about the "Continuation War". Don't hesitate to watch both.

Happy New Year to everybody.

Have a safe journey, Olham. I've just come back from my.

or Arma II.

+1 For less than 3€, why not.
