problem: at first it started with my computer being really loud. the fan caused the noise. Then I installed windows vista (beta) and after that it all went down hill. My computer wouldn't boot up so i had to recover all of my files to disc and reinstall xp. my computer would continually lock up, and/or shut down on me. i formatted my hard drive several times and reinstalled xp, but this didn't fix it. Eventually when i'd reboot my comp would make a long beeeeeep sound and my monitor wouldn't come on. i would have to jigger with the video card for it to work. Also, when my comp was booting up, it would just stop booting. during all of this my fan was really loud. finally i decided to remove all components and reinstall them (thinking maybe that something was being shorted out, but mostly as a last ditch effort to fix this thing...shooting in the dark really) didn't work. In fact, my monitor won't come on at all any more. i'm thinking it may be my moboard or processor.Thoughts?

I am thinking of getting an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice 2.4GHz Socket 939. Does anyone know if this will run okay on an ASUS a8v deluxe motherboard? Right now I have an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2 GHz & an Nvidia Geforce 7800 GS KO ACS3 (if that matters) thanks.

I want to buy a laptop for my mother for Christmas. Her old laptop is broken (the screen is nearly falling off) and super heavy. All she does is check her email and save pictures to her hard drive, so I don't need anything for gaming, etc. I also need it to be light, so she won't have to struggle to lift it. Any suggestions? :)

I have owned 2 Canon ink jet printers. I mostly use them for b&w printing but I print a page of color about once every 2 weeks. After a year, they seem to start printing funny colors and lines on images that I seemingly cant correct thru head alignment, head cleaning etc. Do all jet printers eventually do this? Is it planned absolescence? Can I resurrect my printer to specs?
