Computers & Internet - 27 October 2007

My computer freezes a lot, and i know its not a software problem, i reformatted and installed OS.... i notice at start up, the bios tells the temp, and after crashing, its often at high temps like 177 F... what should I do to stop it from over heating? It tends to crash more when its doing more complex things, like running a game or compressing video...

New PC Compaq Presario SR2150 NX w/Celeron D356 proc. came with MS Vista. (yuk)
Is there anyway way that the OEM Vista license can be traded in for an XP license?
I've heard of corporate OS rolback programs. Is there one for individuals?

I know it's physically possible to boot up from an XP disc and install it over Vista to replace it but I'd like to avoid shelling out more $ just because Vista was the only choice (and it sux.)
No Unbuntu won't do in this case. Not ready for Open Source quite yet.

I seem to remember one company sendinding me back confirmation of reciept that included the question I asked. Some companies don't even send confirmation. I usually make a printout, but if printer is not working... This is for companies that only use webform for email.

i have been reading up on changing from fat32 to ntfs and lots of people are saying that you cant change back or that it is harder to do so. everyone also says that ntfs is far better than fat32 so why would you want to go back?

I have a coffee shop in Missouri and need a little help. In order to stay in competion with my competitors I want to install about 5 computers. My shop is about 450 square feet. Here are the questions I have;

1) Do I want a terminal-to host, file server, or client/server system?
2) Which protocol and network switching device(s) would I use on the LAN and for wireless access?
3) With cabling, what kind of media would I need?
4) What telecommunication devices should I purchase?
5) What type of internet service would best suit my customers?

If someone could shed some light on this it would be great!!

Thanks so much
