Hardware - December 2006

I am using the latest version of Ntune from Nvidia, I have overclocked my GPU but the settings do not save after I log off or restart the PC. I have saved a profile and says it cannot be loaded. I have to run the optimisation which takes over 10mins everytime to overclock it. Please help!

I am in the UK and In July this year I accidently damaged my Acer laptop, my insurance company replaced it for a new one. Since owning it, it has had a constant fault where it intermitently blue screens and re-boots. Up to this point it has been back to Acer for repair 3 times and I was assured the last time they had it that they would fix the problem. I got it back the friday before christmas , and guess what? it still had the same fault. I phoned them and they want me to send it to them yet again! I have given Acer 5 months to fix this problem, is this a reasonable time? This laptop cost £850 and I feel that it has probably depreciated a great deal in this time. I am threatening legal action, I have written to them giving them 14 days to replace the laptop as it is not fit for purpose. Am I doing the right thing?

I've loaded and run System mechanic 6 full version which has cleared a number of registry faults, but it still takes over 2 minutes for the pc to open up the windows page. Its only a year old and was working fine up until 6 days ago, when it froze completely.

I have an old emachine etower 633ids and a couple of weeks ago the cpu fan started making loud noise. On top of that it keeps de-throttling. I have opened up the computer and confirmed it. I changed the heatsink and the fan, and also the power supply just to be safe. I'm thinking there is something wrong with the motherboard or the BIOS. I used to be able to sleep with the computer on in my room, but now it makes sound like a lawn mower. What can i do?
