I've searched the Dell support site, but don't see any related articles to troubleshoot this problem. Is it my AC power cord or do I need to have the laptop connection fixed, or is it something I haven't thought of?

I'm thinking this might be the problem to the media center but i am not sure on how to fix it. PLEASE HELP.

Hi OK I have a 250 GB Sata H.D.D. ...

Erm... My problem is this...
I know for a fact that I have Tons and I mean Tons of space left on my Hard drive but for some reason or another it is saying well... this... :

Used Space: 230 GB and Free Space: 2.05 GB =/ ...

What can I do to make it say the actual amount of Disk Space that I have because I've uninstalled Programs on the PC and my Mother has unistalled some of hers and it still says the same... =| ...

What can I do to rectify this problem apart from running Winternals ERD 2006 on my PC??? as I'd really only like to leave that for a last option as it takes forever to reinstall everything and my Father hates doing it and I'm not very keen on doing it myself so...

Can anyone please help???

Thanks a lot!!!

I get confused with the different processors; whether Pentium or Core or whatever and with what is important when considering which is the best system for what I need. How can I get easy to understand information on what I should bear in mind and not get caught up with jargon I don't understand? Thanks for your help.

long story short, fresh hot coffee was spilled on my laptop screen, the laptop still works but it looks like coffee went in behind the screen (and a lot of it). is there anything that can be done to clean it out or does it absolutely have to be replaced?

Anytime we play a movie or larger video game our comp freezes up. Can't use Esc or Ctrl, Alt, Delete. We thought it was the video card so we went and got a brand new one, which should easily run anything we ever use, but it's still freezing. I'm being told our RAM is probably not running fast enough?? Any suggestions? I'm tired of playing FFXI on the PS2!!!

There's a computer I'm interested in buying from the local classifieds where I live thats listed as a CUSTOM GAMING COMPUTER for $300. I've always wanted a gaming PC but couldn't afford $1000+ that I see them going for. I've got $300 exactly but I don't know much about gaming PCs and would just like to know if this is worth buying or not.
The listing reads:
SOYO KT600 Motherboard
512 MBytes RAM
ATI RADEON 9800 PRO 128mb Video Card
AMD 3200+ Athlon XP Processor
SONY DVD RW DRU-530A
SONY CD-ROM Drive
Creative Labs Audigy LS Series 7.1 24bit Sound Card
150 G SATA HD

Microsoft Windows XP Pro (Activated Clean Install) w/ Service Pack 2
Microsoft Plus Digital Media Edition
Microsoft Office 2003
PowerDvd
DvdDecrypter
Nero Ultra Edition
WarCraft III
Complete With Anti Virus and Spyware protection

I just want a fast computer I can play games on. Should I get this computer and is it worth $300? Any advice or info, please?
