I'm using a dell inspiron,lately its been giving me heaps of problems-the worst being that sometimes a blue screen appears to tell me some problem was evaded and all physical memory dumped.Then i have to press the power button to restart the system-it happens every 5 mins or so,and is really annoying.The last time i sent my pc to dell it took me a bloody 2 weeks to get it back,and there were heaps of problems involved so i'll send it to them as a last resort-anything i can do myself to fix this?

I tried to download a cd to change modems to a wireless one but had problems so I tried system restore and it said I could not after 5 attempts. I looked some info up on Windows XP and it suggested that I may have a virus or that some files have been infected so it said to remove all restore points from the system restore archive by turning off system restore and then turning it back on. Well I did that and was only able to restore to the same day and not days before that, b'cause I tried. I tried to undo changes and it said it can't. Now the big question, How can I get the computer to go back one week before this mess all started? Will I have to reboot the computer since I can't restore? Please answer as simply as possible as I am no computer genius! Thanks so much!

I'm looking at purchasing a SATA HD enclosure (tray) for backup purposes. An important feature is for the drive to be hot-swappable. However, I don't have any RAID controller, just a SATA controller.

Is the RAID controller required for this hot-swap feature to work?

Its the ASUS P4SD-VX. Its a socket 478, and it came with my sony Vaio. I can only find message boards and forums on things, but I can't actually find the stats. What I want to find out is what chips it supports. I know its a 478 slot...but I don't know the highest processor it can support. I also need to know the max ram it can support, as well as if it can support a Nvidia Geforce 7800 agp.

Looking to get a laptop for my wife. She'll run Photoshop and web site design software on there. Most likely watch some movies and rip some CDs. Looking for something under $1000. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth would be nice as well.

Any recommendations or sites that have good reviews?

Could it be that there is free extra memory with Avast?
Or a registry cleaner aspect?
Or some other logical reason which I do not understand?
