Just wondering if they make specific ones for laptops. For instance, will the PC speakers plug in to her laptop? Her laptop says this : Acer, AMD, and Turion 64 if that helps. I really have no idea what I'm doing. lol

Horizontal lines has started to appear on the bottom quarter of my monitor. They go away eventually but are very irritating. The monitor is a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 740SB. Any ideas what I need to do?

I am planning to put a desktop togather for myself. but cant figure out which motherboard to choose. i am going for AMD Athlon 64 4600+ AM2 with atleast 1 GB ram. i am not making this system for gaming so there will be no OC. i am leaning more towards Asus M2N-E motherboard because of its reviews on newegg but i have heard good things about MSI and Gigabit too. what is your take on it?

Well, I have to set up my PC again for some reason. But I don't want to lose all my music and files on it. So can I just drag all the files that I want to save to my flash drive, then set up the computer, and put all the data back on after the setting up?

And also, will the i-tune accept the songs from my flash drive?

Thank you for answering!

My computer wont start! I have no speakers connected to my motherboard (asus p5v-vmdh) so i cant determine the main problem by the post beeps. i have removed the dvd drive and hard drive to narrow the cause. So all i have connected now are the power supply, processor and heatsink, motherboard, 2 sticks of 512mb ram and a few case fans. I get no display on screen and when i switch it on the fans (including cpu fan) start but turn off within a matter of seconds. The heatsinks clips have broken and im not sure if it is correctly fitted. Im getting a new heatsink and psu tomorrow. Will this resolve my problem? My computer was working previously untill i inserted a graphics card (i was previously using the intergrated) and all this trouble began (back than i hadnt broken the clips on my heatsink). Any help would be very much appreciated and i will try to add more info when possible... Many thanks in advance!

I am pretty good with computers, inside and out, and bought an ATI Raedeon 9200 AGP video card for my PC. I intalled the hardware correctly and installed the software correctly. It started up fine and runs all applications totally fine, except World of Warcraft. When I play WoW my computer will restart itself, sometimes after 30 minutes, sometimes after 30 seconds. I have downloaded every driver known to man for my motherboard chipset, for the video card, and I have talked with WoW tech support. It is not just this video card, I bought another ATI Raedeon when this one didn't work and I had the same problem. WTF?

It had purple ink, it smelled unique, and you had to let the paper dry. It would have been early 80's.
