A few weeks ago my computer was acting funny. After it was shut down it would pop back on and kinda go on and off repeatedly until I finally just unplugged it. Now I cant get it to come on at all. Is it possible my son picked up something playing his games online? Or is it just fried? It is only a couple of years old I'd hate to have to replace it already but I'm not sure what to do.

It so much more confusing that it was 6 years ago when I purchased my current system. There was basically HP, Dell & Gateway. Also there are more operating systems to consider now as well as processors. Should I get Windows XP Home, Pro or Media Center and what type of processor Intel Dual Core, AMD, Celeron, etc for a desktop model?

I was wanting to get a new video card for my dell 4600 w/ XP home edition... i think it has a 64mb NVIDA GeForce4 right now and i want to move up to 128 or 256mb... i know very little about that kind of stuff, what do i need to look at as far as compatibility goes (slot interface, type of RAM, or anything else like that, or are all cards compatible with all computers???) recommend any brands over others or should i just get something cheap? know of any good resources that teach stupid people like me how to pick out a video card? i play a couple games on there, mainly Madden football 07 and watch DVDs

Currently I have a 6600GT(going to sell it on ebay) in a year old computer(2005).I need a video card around $150.That'll give me more performance boost in games for at least another year or two.I was thinking ATI's x850xt...anyone know of the NVIDIA counterparts?My 6600GT can still handle most old games at high settings and the newer games at medium to high settings.The newest games are where it starts to tax my card a bit.

Games that I play:
CS:S
DOD:S
FEAR
Rome Total War
Medieval Total War 2*(Mainly getting the upgrade for this game...I ran the demo and it was getting kind of choppy at high settings.)

We've had the same ink cartridges for about a year, but they are both full (we barely ever use the printer). Today I tried to print out some things but everything other than what should have been black came out pink. What's going on and how can I fix this?

I would like to be able to run Windows Vista Premium when available..To do so I need to upgrade my GPU what is a descent card that will run Windows Vista Premium Aero Glass? It has to be AGP interface. I don't want to purchase a real expensive card due to the fact that it will not suport DirectX 10.
