Computers & Internet - 11 October 2006

Had already upgraded to Windows XP on a home PC about 5 years old. Crashed the other day and couldn't start it at all. Decided after lots of deliberation to restore factory settings, but couldn't complete process without without ME disk.

ME was already installed when I bought it (OEM, right?) Trying to use the XP disk I've got, but can't do this in Safe Mode (the only way I can get into any operational Windows).

I'm at a loss. Any suggestions (apart from "Get a new computer")?

What are the differences?

Hey. I guess I am an intermediate level user. I have taken apart, added and upgraded components of my comp. Found out the hard way that dell likes it proprietary, after I bought a good power supply (added good vid card...wanted adequate juice)

Anyways. I have gotten two bs's with mem failure. a - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA , and
a DRIVER_TRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ...memory dumps, then manually powered off.
I have run as much as I could of memtest86, about 3 hours, no errors, 3 passes. 8k,512k,1500mb ram. I am not sure which tests to select or how long to run.
Heat concerns....I have an internal fan for the video card, and the exhaust hood over the heat sink, meaning it has a small negative pressure. Did a complete cleanout inside a few hours ago, and saw that 4 caps along the heatsink, hood side, were bulging upwards slightly and had small amounts..a little drop size, of clay colored substance. dang. They could be my prob?
