I have a NEC XP17 from 1996. It still works great. Now I'm buying a new PC. I need to decide if I want to get a sleek new monitor in a bundle deal or use the old one. Is it just a matter of having the right cable? Or are their other factors?

This has happened twice but with better results first time. I was online when the power went off in my home. When the power returned the computer would not come back on. I replaced the power supply but it still did not come back on initially. I pulled cards and the computer rebooted after pulling the modem. This has happened again but the card pull does not work. I have acquired another new power supply to ensure it's not that. The lights on the keyboard light up when I turn on the system but that's it. I've checked the power plugs with meter and there is some voltage there, not sure how much SHOULD be there. Usually if drive is bad the system will still come on, but not the case. Drive is good. Just nothing when I turn on the power. ANY suggestions to try would be appreciated.

Last night while playing World of Warcraft I got the message "vtdisp driver has stopped working normally" and it restarted itself. Now everytime I try to log into the game my computer just restarts itself. I've been searching through forums trying to find out what to do, the only thing that I haven't tried yet is to uninstall the vtdisp driver and reinstall it. Where do I go on my computer to uninstall the driver and when I uninstall it, how do I reinstall it again? I thought when you uninstalled something, it was deleted from your computer? Please help! I don't want to f*ck up my computer but I want to play my game again!!!
