Ive have been trying to play a game called spellforce 2 but it keeps freezing up on me. The error message I am recieving is "vpu recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands." From what I have found on the internet that most likely means my vid card is overheating. I have checked the temps and my GPU temp is usually around 35cel. (95f) and when i start the game up its gets up to around 115 to 120 farenhiet, thats usually when my game freezes. Sometimes even around 111 it freezes. Are those normal temps? Is it overheating? And if so what do I do to fix the problem. My card is a Radeon 9600 128.0 MB. Its what is recommended on the box. HELP! Oh, and I have a fan on motherboard, fan on side of comp, fan on top of comp and fan on vid card.

I'm trying to decide between a Dell and a Compaq, and they have different processors... The Dell has a Pentium M processor (1.7ghz,2 MB cache) and the HP/Compaq has a Mobile AMD Sempron 3500+ (1.80GHz/512KB).

For those that have worked with both, which is better performance wise? Kepp in mind I really don't need it for much other than web surfing and doing school projects on. Thanks for the help!

I have a macbook pro, my keyboard and my trackpad and clicker are unresponsive. I plugged in a wireless mouse and the mouse worked, but the keyboard is completely unresponsive. I called mac, and since I have a policy, they are going to fix it for free, but I was wondering what the exact problem was, and if it is even fixable or if I’ll just get a new one. Once again, this is a Mac, not a PC. This poses a problem because I cant get into my administrative profile, so I cant change any settings. I think an outside keyboard would work because the wireless mouse worked. If someone could give me some advice, I would appreciate it.

My computer won't print black (with a new cartridge) because it says the color ink is dry. How does that work? Is there a way to fool the printer so it thinks it has ink?
