Computers & Internet - 5 September 2007

My computer is fairly new and has always acted fine. There isn't much space on it taken up. But its been acting weird. Two weeks ago it froze and i couldn't turn it off the proper way. So I had to push the button on the PC to turn it off. Then id leave it off for a few minutes and go to turn it back on and it wouldn't turn on. So i would have to wait a few more minutes to finally get it to turn on. Then a few days ago i woke up and my computer was frozen. The time on it stopped. So i turned it off and turned it on and it was fine again. Then this morning i woke up and the same thing happened only it seemed like when i pressed "start" to turn it off some of the programs were dissapearing. But i turned it off and turned it on and now its running fine. Is this a virus? Is there anything i can do to fix this or...it seems like when i restart it, it acts fine but its becoming a daily thing to restart it.

Its Windows XP 2003 home edition by the way

I have an HP desktop pc that has the pentium 4 processor 3.0ghz, but he motherboard can support a 3.4ghz pentium 4 processor! being the pentiums 4's sell for dirt cheap on ebay etc. could i buy a 3.4ghz one and replace my 3.0 ghz one? if so, do i just take the old one out and put the new one in and turn the pc on (like installing memory!) or is there more to it than that?

When I put the computer "TO SLEEP" and then re-start it by touching mouse etc the CPU powers up, and the screen seems to partially come to life, but it stays black and blank. The power button on the screen which is orange in sleep mode, changes back to green, as it should be ,but it wont come on. If i switch the screen power button off at this stage and on again, then the screen lights up instantly. It is only a minor prob, but was just wondering if anyone has any idea why this should happen. As i said it only happens rarely. Usually it opens up fine. Thanks, Charlie

The original Linux doesn't work anymore, so I want to reinstall windows XP professional to my laptop. I set the BIOS to boot from CD, but anyway it seems like worked. However, after the screen asked for press any key to boot from CD and I press the key, the screen turned to black without any instruction. I was sure that the XP disk is in the optical dirve, and it ran for few seconds and it stopped. I waited for about 2 hrs(patient...), it was still keeping that way.
disk is brand new... I brought my laptop last year.
Does anyone know what should I try next?

Ok, here's the thing:

I have one DSL cable with one static IP address assigned to it. It is not assigned to the MAC so it can be used on any PC.

The thing I want to do is to have access to the Internet with two PCs using this one line.

As I know it you can't just split it with a switch as it requires IP addresses for both PCs.

Is there any way to do this? Like using a router (I have heard about it but don't know how it exactly works)

I prefer hardware solutions over software ones.

I prefer not to use a hub as I was told that it splits the speed of the connection between the PCs and I want to have the line speed for both PCs.

(P.S.: Don't give me cr@p about how illegal it is and I should pay for 2 lines, etc,etc. I know and I am willing to take full responsibility. And even so... if it is so illegal why do they sell components that can do this?)

10 points to who makes me understand what to do exactly.

THANKS!

I can't seem to get a link to my document up on my site. I have tried and I have my friends try to open it on their computer and they can't. Does it matter that I have Vista and they don't? Is that the problem?

I just reformatted my laptop. Everytime I click on the quick launch menu in order to drag and drop icons onto it, it doubles up and becomes twice as thick on the bottom of the screen. I have to unlock the taskbar and manually bring it back to size. Anyone know what's going on???

I was looking at western Digital? is this a decent brand?
Should I buy as one unit? or buy the Hard drive and a shell, so I know it wasn't made in china or something?
Thanks for any advice, much appreciated.

I just came from wal-mart and they had a barebones pc there with a pretty good price $298 bucks (you get a tower some speakers and a keyboard),I believe it was an emachines and the guy there said it has a vista platform. I was under the impression vista needed a lot of sdram to work correctly. Thats why a lot of folk are having trouble with vista.I was thinking to my self. Am I right?
can I get a little help?
