Hardware - June 2006

I recently bought some new RAM for my computer, I first took a look at the RAM that was already install, placed it back in the RAM slot, and I bought the exact same kind, After I put the old RAM back in the same place and without installing the new RAM, I turned the computer on as I regularly do, but now it's started making this strange beeping noise and nothing shows up on the monitor, is there something wrong with it, because I known it takes some time for the computer to register the new RAM, but I left it for 1 hour and nothing happened and this was the RAM that it came installed with!
What should I do about the beeping noise and nothing showing up on the screen? and should I install the new RAM then? It's the same make and model as the one already in my computer.

The user manual says that "Seagate does not recommend using portable external hard drive for transferring data between Windows and Mac" Is this really true???? Will my dad's PC be able to read the data? I just shipped it 2000 miles across the country ... When he plus it into his MAC, will all the data be lost?

I have an old Compaq Presario bought in (2001), 1.5mhz, 384mb, 60GB. It's served me well considering all the software, graphic and music files I have on it. Recently its been giving me warning signs that it's going to die on me any day. I have everything on this desktop from AutoCad to Photoshop. I also have a laptop, a Sony Vaio VGN-A190 desktop replacement that I purchased in 2004 and rarely use. I was thinking about purchasing a large external drive (500GB at least) for the laptop instead of a buying a new desktop. Or should I just purchase a new desktop? Anybody have any advice?

I have a new HCL Beanstalk system. This new system is not very efficient espcially i am having a lot of trouble with the keyboard. It is a wireless keyboard.even after changing the batteries 20days ago there are a lot of problems in the keyboard. I notice that i will have to press the keys a couple of times to type that letter on the keyboard and sometimes the letter repeats itself too many times.Even when using the backspace too many letters get deleted automatically.Is it really a problem with the keyboard or the batteries need to be changed. If the problem is with the batteries, i checked them on the optical mouse and it is working fine on the mouse. This happens very often. How will i troubleshoot this ?
