I want to check my CPU temp in BIOS, but I can't find it. Yes, I know you can do it via third party programs, but I want to do it through BIOS. I'm running Windows XP Professional, but I don't think that matters. Thanks.

It went through a power outage but was turned off at the time. It was also on a surge protector. When I go to turn it on the fan come on but there is no signal to the monitor. I think is is the motherboard and was wondering how hard it is to change it out and does it need to be programmed

I need to know which is better; Pentium D or Core 2 Duo? I'm building a computer which will have (roughly):

1 8800 GTX nVidia video card
4 GB RAM
1 500GB hard drive

That's pretty much the only thing I can think of that's really affected by the CPU. The CPU I'm looking at is Pentium D 3.4GHz, and the Core 2 Duo is 2.66GHz. The FSB on the Core 2 Duo is 1066 or something, and the Pentium D is 800, I'm pretty sure that makes a difference.

I really want this system for playing Oblivion, 3D Modeling, and, well, pretty much every next-gen game that comes out. PS: I'm completely aware that they both have dual cores, so please don't tell me the Pentium D has one. Thanks!

I can't burn because it continually gives me this message. I have even tried to get different CD/DVD's. None of them seem to be recognized by my burner.

Finally my iTunes library is complete! I was so happy until i opened My Computer and realized I now have 706MB left. I nearley fainted! I couldn't understand why until I checked the properties of my iTunes library and its 25.6GB. Well my stinking laptop only has 34GB so I basically cant download much until I delete some media out of my library or something (Dont want to do that because most of it I paid for.) I have uninstalled all unnessacary programs from Add Or Remove Programs, and deleted all of unnessacary files from my computer but am still running low. Any suggestions to how I could make some more space would be grately appreciated.

I currently have a Compaq Presario S4220NX. I checked the computer to find that I have an AGP slot for a video card. But right now my monitor is plugged into the motherboard (I do not currently have a video card) and I did some research and found that I am going to have to do a little extra to make this things work. I was wondering if anyone else has had to do a similar process, if anyone could direct me to a site that helps with computers with no previous video card, and could tell me generally if it is difficult or if a newbie like me could pull it off.


Note: I'm experienced with computers, I've just never put in a video card before.

I'm getting a notebook that has this:

2GB PC4200 DDR2 SDRAM (upgradeable)
200GB 4200RPM Serial-ATA hard disk drive

But people keep telling me it has a 2GB hard drive and that that's not a lot, but wouldn't the hard drive be 200GB? If it is 2GB, how much stuff would I be able to save on my notebook?
