my cpu is a pentium D 3.2ghz dual core and with the stock fan heatsink unit i am getting 58C at idle and up to 80C at full load. once i got up to 88C which scared the hell out of me as the breaking point for this processor is 96C. i need a better cpu cooling solution that does not involve liquid.

Ok... long story short... got the amazingly annoying "winsrv" error blue screen of death after trying to instal SP2.


I know the processes as far as recovery go...

But... will using the "repair" console OR reinstalling windows...

will that erase all my documents? (pictures, music, word files)

i want to build my first ever pc system for personal use like word typing, internet, email, uploads digital cam videos, store loads and loads of pictures from photo album (really HUGE).

i have come up with the following spec:

Asus P5W DH Deluxe (Intel 975 - 1066 FSB Conroe)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Retail (2x2.4GHz 1066FSB 4Mb)
OCZ DDR2-800 2x1024MB
BFG Nvidia 8500GT 256MB PCIe
Windows XP

wil the motherboard, processor, RAM and graphics card work well together?

shall i use the heatsink and fan included in the processor box or use the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro CPU COOLER?

and also the WiFi icluded with the motherboard, will it be able to pick my internet wirless connection?

do i have to buy an external graphics card to connect to the monitor? which one would you recommend?

i also plan to use a 80GB hard drive for win XP and applications and a 320gb hard drive for data? is that good or bad?

any comments or suggestions please?

I am upgrading an only Dell Dimension 8100, and the highest processor possible for this old motherboard is a 2.8Ghz, the next is the 2.6Ghz. The 2.6 would cost $67, the 2.8 would be $169, is it worth the price for the additional 200 mhz in speed?

I was given a used laptop (IBM Thinkpad Model T42), and it's about 2 years old. It's also pretty virus full I think. My friend does not have a CD to reinstall Windows XP either, who said it was preinstalled. I don't want to have to purchase a CD, as the laptop has been heavily used and there is no promise that it will last long. Several AV scans hasn't helped at all. Any suggestions on what to do? Can I still reinstall or restore XP? Or am I going to have to go with something like Ubuntu? If so, how do I overwrite XP? Sorry if these are too many questions, but I have no idea what to do. Please speak to me like I'm a child because I'm not all that tech savvy.

I have a D-link modem, router, and usb wireless adapter hooked up to a cable modem. My computer is on the second floor and the router is in the basement. i get about a 50% signal strength and 100% signal quality. When downloading form limewire or bittorent, even when i limit the bandwidth used for downloading, my signal strenth will disappear, but the quailty stays at 100%, but the internet is not accessable. I have to restar the whole computer. Will installing a higher gain antenna on the router work? or should i install a PCI card with a higher gain antenna instead? I am the only computer using this wireless network.

i leave my computer on over night most of the time. when i woke up this morning i heard a weird clicking noise when i came down. when i tried to move the mouse the computer wouldnt respond, the screensaver stayed up. so after a few minutes of control alt delete, moving the mouse, and hitting keys i held down the power button to turn of the computer. when i turned it back on it sayed primary hard drive failed...press f1 to continue press f2 for setup utility.

is there any possible way i can save the information on the hard drive. there are some really important files on there. i can buy a new hard drive and just run my computer off of that but i really need some of the files on there.

I'm looking for a fast, high-powered, versatile computer for video & photo editing. Should I go with a PC or a Mac? I know that I can get more computing power for less money with a PC, but Macs seem to be more suited for graphic work. For PCs or Macs, is there a particular model that is recommended for these tasks?
