    Does this exist or have a generic name?

    Dell XPS 625 No Post

    Have you checked over the motherboard for any damaged or loose components OR any foreign bodies shorting/touching contacts/components together? EDIT: what 4T5 said - strip it out and rebuild on your desk with minimal components and see what happens :)

    How to allocate a set amount of Internet bandwidth on a shared router?

    Irrelevant as the modem side of things is handled by the chipset in the device to which the software communicates using the relevant protocol. The only issue arises if the chipset manufacturer doesn't release the code for the interface. If you look in the list of supported devices for each you...

    Who told you you that? So does IP routing work differently for DSL than cable?

    How to allocate a set amount of Internet bandwidth on a shared router?

    looks like that model just isn't supported by the dd-wrt custom firmware. For dd-wrt custom firmware have a look HERE for a list of supported devices. For openwrt custom firmware have a look HERE for a list of supported devices. Those custom firmwares give extended functionality and control...

    PC stuck at boot screen

    If you can get it to boot into windows to then go into hibernation - doesn't that mean it gets past the boot screen or you do something to get it to boot into windows? :confused: The first thing I would do is reset the CMOS - check the mobo battery is functional then plug in just the OS...

    How to allocate a set amount of Internet bandwidth on a shared router?

    What is the exact model number of your current router including any V or R numbers? There might be a custom firmware available which gives you full/additional functionality. Might save you having to buy one - otherwise used adsl modem/routers are available for £5-£10 :)

    About To Start Riding...

    My advice is wipe all thoughts of bikes with 'sports' in the name until you have some experience and have passed your full test. The first thing I would say is that as you've never ridden before, don't spend a fortune on gear at this point as what happens if you don't like it and decide biking...

    Spec me a car for the wife

    I don't think a sub-focus sized 4X4 automatic exists - the nearest to that requirement is a Fiat Panda 4X4. Driving in the snow is a balance of technique with the car. Your example of 1 wheel spinning - did it have a snowchain on it/did you defalte the tyres slightly to increase...
