Dear doctj,

As mentioned above http://www.pcmech.com/ is an excellent web site to consult. As is http://www.pcguide.com/

All the best, G.

Offline, try Upgrading and Repairing Computers by Peter Mueller (Que Publications). About 1500 odd pages of fairly good detail, handy when you can't solve a problem and therefore can't get online to find the answer.

Preferably online but print will do.
Thanks
