I need to upgrade my video card (have a PCI card and want AGP- i know PCI-express succeed AGP). How do i know if i have a version 1.1 or 2.0 compliant system? Would either a 2x/4x card or 4x/8x card work or only one of them?

Everything goes good, and then it asks about my time, date, area code,etc. And It starts to install again, when it gets to 32 mins. it never moves after that, i have tried restarting about 4 times and the same thing. I tried another xp disk, samething. Above the green bar it says installing network.Clean install, brand new hard drive. Everything is pretty new. Atleast within the last year or two. I tried to pull the modem, no difference. I tried to change my bios to plug and play, no chang. I shift+f10 , taskmgr, and nothing is out of wack. System idle process is like from 95-98, and taskmgr is from 2-5, everything else sits at 0. Im at the end of my rope here guys. This thing has been one problem after another setting it up. And ive got this far, i can't stop now.

I even deleted hdd pations and created a new one about 4 times, gets to the same spot and stops.

PLEASE HELP

The hdd is fine, i did a slow format, not the quick. No problems. I have looked all over the net and found nothing. I have posted on several sites, and no one will respond. I had to adjust my cmos to get windows to boot, i changed my hdd to large and my cdrom to lhb, no other combo would boot. But that boots great, fast, etc. All the way up to "installing network". No there are now cables connected. The only thing in there is a modem, thats the only extra i have. I have two sticks of ram, but one is out cause i got error 7 so i pulled my 128 and left my 256 in. other than that no problems till this. And it just won't go. I apperciate the help so far though.

Hello, I blew out my DVD burner power adaptor by plugging it into the wrong hardware. It is an imation 8x single-layer only external burner, if it matters. I cannot afford a new one right now, is there any way to replace the adaptor only instead of buying a totally new unit? I took it to a large electronics store but they couldn't do anything about it.

It happened to me maybe... two weeks ago, I think for the first time ever, I was really annoyed. Then last night it happened again and so my father cleared away any dust that might be getting at the fan, and tonight, it's just done it again. One minute I was on the computer with no apparent problems, a few minutes later I come back and it's turned off.

Does any know what the problem could be other then over heating? I never turn off my computer, but I'm never had over hearting problems, so I don't think that's the cause...

I am trying to print, but the paper keeps going in only on one side. Then it stops going completley. I have looked to make sure that there is nothing in the way and everything is clean inside... It seems like the wheels on one side aren't working, but they are. So how do i fix it?

I can only change my resolution to 600x800, 1024x768, and 1336x 1336. I can change my resolution fine with my onboard, but not with EITHER of my 3d cards. (Tried both at different times) It will work properly every once in a while, but I cant find a pattern or anything.
