I used to have several additional drives (for example: a SD slot) that showed up in "my computer", but now they're gone. Any troubleshooting suggestions?

Now I just moved to a new apartment, and it happens every time I turn on the computer! I've had a blue screen error before which resulted in my having to get a new harddrive, but this time it ONLY happens when my network card is inserted into the computer. The error screen mentions if you have hardware or software that wasn't installed properly to reinstall it, anyway I'll have to call Dell's lousy tech support once more unless anybody can help me. I appreciate the help.

We just bought a new computer, and it comes with only one hard drive bay (filled by the 80gb existing HD) I cannot replace the HD as it has XP on it and the new one does not. Our old computer came with an expansion slot for two 3.5" HDDs. the bay comes out so that it is essentially just the two bays. How can I put this in our new computer so that it will hold our extra 160GB HD?? (Have all screws for it and everything)

hi. I had a question. I am building me a descent gamers computer and everyday computer in one and wanted to know a few things about the cpu. The computer is a compaq presario sr1303wm with 256 megs of ram, 40 gig hard drive, windows xp, 250 power supply, and amd sempron cpu chip. I don't know how fast the mother board or computer itself clocks at but I wnted to know how fast of a prossecor chip I can get for it. Im smart with the other components but not the cpu chip itself. I wanted to build a computer so I would know how to build a computer but for now this thing is getting upgraded and wanted to know what my mother board could handle. If you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks a bunch. the most informative gets all 5 starz. thanks a lot again:]

I want to buy a new SILENT fan for my computer case but I don't know how many RPM is enough. I saw one that was supposed to be super-silent but it's only 1800 rpm. Any suggestions?

I'm looking into a game that requires 512 mb of video memory, and my laptop only has 32 mb of video memory.

It has 1gb of RAM and I'm upgrading it to 2 gb. Will the RAM help out where the video memory is lacking?

Will I be able to play the game that requires the 512 mb of video memory on the system?

The CD-ROM packed up - I bought a secondhand DVD-ROM drive module. It fits, fine, powers up the drive but it doesnt plug and play, and I cant see it using Drive Manager. Any ideas about where to go next? Running XP Home SP2.

Thanks

When I try to watch some vidios on my computer, or when I'm on a site like youtube and try to watch a vidio.. my display is all blotchy and the sound is all broken up. It doesn't play smoothly without the slow blotchy and broken sound like I'm assumeing it should, just like any other computer does.. other than my own. Can anyone help me with some information as to what the problem might be? and How I can fix it? (a friend says it has to do with the amount of RAM on my computer and I need do free it up, but I dont know how? "Is that true"?) I have a Pentium2 if that makes a difference? >> If anyone has any answers or solutions? I would really appreciate all the info and help and suggestions that I can get. Thank you very much.

I'm not very computer literate. I have a fairly new computer so I think it has the capability to make DVD slideshows but I don't know for sure. I don't know the first thing about doing it. I want to make DVDs putting music to the pictures. Can anyone tell me how to do it? I've never even burned a CD or DVD, so please give me all the basic information. Thanks.
