Can I install two 1 GB memory sticks, even though the specs say that the limit is 512MB in each memory slot? Is this a constraint of the motherboard or something else? I'm running XP Home, with an AMD Athlon.

Is it possible that my power supply unit is burning out my hard drives. I have had 3 new hard drives fail on me now in 14 months. first i got an 80gb hard drive and it lasted 12 months, then i had it replaced 1 day before its warranty expired and that on lasted 2 months then that one was replaced yesterday and the new one has gone today. They all follow the same path. Windows freezing then when rebooting it says Invalid Boot disk blah blah and all they do is CLUNK all the time

Hi everyone,

Recently my dell laptop crashed to blue screen. The blue screen said that windows had been shutdown to protect the computer. I rebooted and did a virus scan...the virus scan was clean. The blue screen then happened last week again! After that thinks have been kind of down hill. When I put the computer in Stand By mode and come back it tells me my resolution has been changed and now the screen is blurry in spots. A friend of mine said it is probably the video card. Does anyone else agree? Could it be something else??

BTW it's a fairly new computer (bought it in November) and I'm running on Windows XP.

I have two Cintre Z-Disc External Enclosures.. I know I am going to sound stupid, but please help me --

Are these not actual drives? I just found out, and it says on the box: "Enclosure Only. Hard Drive Not Included".

What do I have here? Will this serve as a backup drive, or is this JUST a casing for a drive, and I still need to buy a drive?

I was first going to use this as a back up, then my Boss asked me if we could use this as an external hard drive.. I was researching when I realized that it says that it's just an enclosure.

Do I only have a fancy little case for a drive, or is this a drive?

Please help clarify!!
