Every 30 seconds or so, my computer is making a funny noise - it kind of sounds like a whip cracking! Does anyone know what it could be?

or do you need some special software like nero? I don't think xp recognizes my drive as a recordable device because when I click on properties, I dont see the recording tab.

what should i upgrade to make games run faster and make my pc run faster when im just doing normal stuff on it?
like when i play games with the model details set to high they look great but the game loads very slowly and when there is a lot of explosions and a lot of effects happening in te game is starts to lag very bad. i also have a high ping in online games but i have a 2mb broadband connection so it must be my pc. ill be pleased with any advice

I would like to purchase a new printer.

My usage is mainly word documents, sometimes colour maps etc.
I would want something with the facility for scanning/copying as well.

Fairly inexpensive, but willing to pay a bit more if good value considering the next two requirements:
Fairly fast
Ink cartridges that wont break the bank.

Thank you for your advice.

I am thinking of purchasing an Epson multipurpose printer/scanner/copier to replace my Canon MP 360, and have difficulty in deciding between the current DX [copier series] 5000, and the RX [photo copier series] 520, which having been replaced recently by the updated RX 640 is now available at a substantial reduction bringing the price in line with the newer DX 5000.

The only differences that I have discerned are that the RX 520 has a small preview screen, incorporates picbridge/card slots, scans up to 2400 dpi against 1200 for the DX 5000, but prints a little slower. It has 8 mil individual ink tanks, which although dearer than the 5.5 mil tanks on the DX 5000, appears to work out at a similar cost per mil overall assuming that ink usage is similar for both machines since they share an identical print resolution, but use different grade inks.

Unfortunately I've been unable to find the knowledgable and understanding PC World staff shown on TV to resolve this and assist my purchase

a few months ago when i returned off holiday and pluged my pc back into the mains i noticed the power button on pc did not work first time and i had to wait about 10 seconds before it did, i knew the battery had gone because time/date had reset, but stupid me did not replace it. then a couple of weeks ago the above happened again when i returned off holiday but again continued to work. then last night i unplugged pc by mistake and when i tried to turn it on this morning the fans and drives powered up but no signal was sent to the monitor and no beeps so i am assuming post did not start. i attemted to restart on a few occasions but now nothing happens when i switch on, no drives or fans ect, but there is power to motherboard led. could the battery now be total flat and with no bios could it prevent pc from starting. i am new to this and probably got it tottaly wrong can anyone please help
