Maybe check to see if everythings plugged in at the back?

Unplugged cables would not create a post-level failure.

Opening it up and cleaning all the dust out with a vacuum cleaner usually works. Btw, dust is a conductor of electricty, mabye hard to believe, but it is. Been proven.

DO NOT VACUUM THE INSIDE OF YOUR COMPUTER. This creates electrostatic discharge that will usually fry things. Instead use compressed air specifically for cleaning electronics.

Also, dust is an electrical insulator, not a conductor. Usually the only problem it creates is that it insulates heat as well, which can make components overheat; it can also clog up fans.

I see your avatar,

 

It's working fine?

This is one of the free avatars available. This is not the avatar I tried to upload ...

Hi...

I paid 100 to upload my avatar, but when I try to use it I recieve:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/ashoat/public_html/index/sources/classes/class_item.php on line 250

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hey all...

You can now count (another?) Canadian among your ranks.

vb is the easiest language lol but the noobiest

No kidding. Pretty much all the noobs on Planet-source-code use it.

Any idea what might have gone wrong?

Could be something dead on the motherboard, or the processor itself. Try swapping it out.

This PC: Sh--. P4 2.2GHz, suffering with only 256MB RAM.

PC I'll be designing for myself soon:

64-bit dual core Athlon processor

Dual SCSI 10kRPM low-latency RAID0, size doesn't really matter, I want speed

As much dual-channel DDR as the mobo can fit

Gigabit ethernet

I don't really care about graphics... I just want a generally fast box that I can program on, etc. Of course for these purposes this will be overkill, but I don't care

A half a dozen different flavours of assembly, VHDL/ADA, C, C++, a little bit of Java, some VB, some XHTML & CSS.

Dialup is a dead technology where the infrastructure allows for anything else.

DSL is a great idea, and has very low latency, but is highly dependent upon where you are in your neighbourhood (your distance to the access concentrator). Turns out I'm screwed in this house, the AC is too far away and I can't get anything above 2MB/s. So I'm probably going to go to cable, even if they say that it slows down during peak activity periods, it seems to have been much more reliable in general (based on my experience). At least in Ontario.

I would suggest, under careful regulations, release some of the code that makes HelioNet run, or at least tell people how to interface it; the person with the nicest idea for a new PHP feature for the site should win.

the u got ur old one like, my dog ate it, or whatever u can think of. ur best choice is sumthin technical(unless it was IT homework, then ur screwed)

Eh... generally my best choice was to, you know... do my homework...

no, i'm running XP, i only know it's a blue screen of death because i googled it

A lot of the time this is caused by bad hardware (or bad drivers).

I suggest that you progressively disable and/or remove all devices from your PC until you stop getting these errors. When they stop, the last thing you disabled/removed is probably the cause.

Make sure that all of your drivers are up-to-date and that your BIOS settings are sane.
