I too had the blinking yellow light. After reading several other sites was getting very bummed out thinking I would just give up on this comp rather than dump more money into it. After reading here about damaged USB ports being a possible problem I looked at mine and sure enough there was one port with bent pins... After I straightened them WOOHOOO I don't need to upgrade yet, Works just fine now. THANKS Glad I found this site. I too had the blinking yellow light.

You can write your first game in Flash as you will get lot of support and free tutorial in youtube . You can try Game maker also. Once you finish with flash, try 2d advance gaming either c++ or visual studio but will require mathematical skill About 3d gaming. hmm I know it takes hours to design a 3d object in 3d software now to animate them with a good script. I think its not for newbie. Game developers have engine which they reuse for developing games and this greatly reduce their development time. can anybody tell us more about game engine?
