Computer completely locked up...couldn't turn off Num Lock, Ctrl+Alt+Del did not work. Powered computer off via surge protector. Turned computer back on 5 min later. Monitor blank (black screen), has power, signal cable ok. CPU has power (power lights on). Scanner, printer, and CD Drives are all acknowledged when CPU is powered up. CPU is silent...no fans and harddrive not running.
This computer is a 6 year old Compaq Presario 7598. Factory specs are here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&dest_page=product&dlc=en&product=94528&docname=c00034150
Upgrades:
Added 512 MB RAM, new harddrive 6 months ago, new USB port card, external US Robotics 56k Modem, WinXP Home
The only other computer I have at home is my laptop and I have not tested for monitor failure yet by hooking it up to my laptop. I will be doing that this evening.

Last night my little sister accidently, hit the power button, and turned off my computer. When I turned it back on it went to the thing where you have to click on an icon(this is the thing before you can get to anything on your desktop). Mine was password protected. Well Im guessing I changed the password, and forgot it. I didnt know what to do, so I just decided to take everything off of my computer, by a System Recovery. Everything went fine in the System Recovery, but towards the end a box with a white x inside a red circle came up and said something about Win23. Not thinking anything of it, I just finished the system recovery. Then restarted. When I tried to get to my desktop all these warnings with the box with the white and red x's kept coming up, saying things like Desktop cannot be displayed, access denied. But if I just keep clicking them, it finally lets me do things. It even lets me on the internet, and do some stuff. I have no idea what this is, or how to fix it...

I'm a programmer, hardware guy..... what not... but I'm confused!

What does 'HDD' stand for?
1. Hard Disk Drive (I knew this)
2. High Density Disk (I read it in a 'Quiz Book')

Hi! I am planning to buy a new PC. I'm a filmmaker and someone advised me to get a computer with duo processor. Thing is, they are a bit out my range.
Can anyone tell me if that duo processor thing is essential for movie editing or if a standard PC should do the job. I'm using the latter at the moment and it's been fine.
I would appreciate any advise or tips you might have, as I don't want to invest in something which won't make much difference.

Thanks a lot for your help!
