I live in Sri Lanka.It's in the southeast of India. It's near equator. The sound of my computer fan is very loud and annoying. I tried to open the case but still doesn't reduce the noise. I have 2 fans inside. I tried to stop the fan, but it freezes the computer. My system is Windows xp x64, and I have P4. When I play music, I can't hear it 'cause of the fan. Somebody help me.

Ok, my old question stated


"Ok, I'm not sure but, I recently got a GeForce 6600 Video Card. In the begining I wanted to get a GeForce 6800, but the guy at the store told me that my PC will not be able to use it (or so he thought). So I had to get a 6600 one. Now, my question is, is there a website that can check my system and tell me if I can use the card that I'm looking for? Kind of like "Can I run this Game" thing on the Nvidia web site, only for video cards? If you know one, please give me the adress, and if possible, a straight like, not just the site name. Thanks a lot. "

Now, for some of you out there that would really like to help, I have an 775V88+/A/ASR Motherboard. On this website (http://www.asrockamerica.com/Products/775V88.htm) are all the things about it.Still, I just dont get it. I gess that my question is, will I be able to use a Nvidia 7800 Video Card on this PC? If not, Can anyone please tell me what isthe maximum card (From Nvidia) that I can use? Thank you

When I start up my computer, log into a user, or start a program my computer makes a noise. Also sometimes it takes a long time for programs to start up like Norton Anti-Virus or Internet Explorer 6. Are these two problems anyway related?

Dell Inspiron 9100 lap top. When you plug the adaptor into the wall the green light comes on. When you plug the adaptor into the computer, the green light goes out. I have replaced the battery and I have gone through the steps suggested by the Dell wizard but there is no change. There was a storm and the computer was left by the window. I suspect water got into the works. The computer does not come on at all. For awhile it was acting flakey, turning on by itself, even when it was closed. I am certain it was not in hibernate, it was shut down, but several hours later the green light on the computer would come on and when I opened it it would be in hibernate. This happened a lot. The warrenty is expired so dell won't help me. What can I do?

It plugs into my laptop, the drivers are fine, its the keyboard itself. Its almost as if I have to type twice as hard as I do with any other keyboard and before I go out and buy YET another keyboard, I want to see if I can possibly fix this one. It's really slowing down my typing because I am constantly backspacing to add a letter that didnt type. Any help offered is appreciated. Thanks.

I have older Mac G3 with 1GHD, running OS 9.1. (Need to keep machine for tax programs). Bought external LaCie SCSI 50G as an add on. G3 hard drive is "HFS", external 50G is "HFS+". Desktop shows both hard drives fine. cSystems profiler shows both fine. Mac G3 is"0" and 50G add on is "1" in SCSI chain. Why does the MAC lock up when I try to move-copy existing folders to the new 50GHD? Have to do hard reboot!

If I copy-move one (1) file at a time... no problem and no lock up. Copy-write process starts and then freezes with folders or multiple files. Could this be due to my installed Norton's Utilities (File Saver)? Could this be due to SCSI term error? What is difference
between HFS and HFS+? Should both drives be formatted the same?

I have bought my CPU pentium 4 3E GHz with Gigabyte 8IPE1000 Pro-G mother board one year ago, It works well until one month ago, since a month ago my cpu is turned off in the middle of the operation usually when I use it very much, I also check my cpu temp, and it is normal, even I checked my motherboard, power supply and Hard drive, they are also working well.
I dont know why the CPU is going unstable.
If anyone knows the problem please let me know.
