(or putting it on a standby/hibernate mode)

A friend said constant on and off will cause stress on the parts as they always restart, so it should be a minmum of once a week

I start my computer and it goes through the normal boot settings then the screen comes up with the options of Safe mode, last known good configuration and start windows normally. Ive tried all the options several times but once it gets to the Windows XP screen with the status bar, it will restart. And it will eventually lead back to the boot screen with all the options again. Can anyone help me, thanks in advance

My computer doesn't hibernate, it freezes. If I am using the Internet and step away for 10 minutes, I will have to reboot to get a connection. If I close the lid (it's a notebook), I will have to reboot to get online. Isn't this damaging to my computer? I usually turn it off and unplug it when I am not using it so it does not overheat. So I am always starting it upas it is.

I have two computers, both are rather old, but one is older'
The newer one is a dell dimension desktop and another is an hp desktop that I bought 7 years ago.

The desktop has only a dvd-r/cd-r and the hp has a cd-rw, I was wondering if it would be possible to take the cd-rw from the hp and put it in the dell into the second slot.

Would they be compatible? What would I have to do to make it work?

and is it low med or high specs. also if i brought a pc with this card in and it wasn't good enough for my needs what would be the likely hood of being able to upgrade to a high end or even a very high end card, i'm asking because the 2 pc's i've brought both have had limits on how far i can upgrade them the 1st because it had pci not pci-e and the second uses low profile cards and i can't find anywhere that sells them, the pc i'm looking at has the following specs.
Intel Pentium D 950 Processor
3.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 4MB Cache
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
2GB DDR RAM
400GB Hard Disk Drive
Multi-Format Dual Layer DVD RW Drive
DVD-ROM Drive
256MB nVidia Geforce 7300GS Graphics
can anyone tell me from this what limits it would have from this, thanks in advance:o)

Okay, so I’m planning on getting a new laptop this weekend but Windows Vista is being release on the 30th. Should I buy a Windows XP laptop or preorder a laptop with the new window? Is Windows Vista really that great or will it be like Windows Me that was meant for failure?

Hi
I have been given a ABIT AN7 motherboard. The problem is that the mb will not boot up. The LED display shows the tests upto BIOS but will not go to BIOS. Nothing is displayed on screen at all, no signal to the monitor. I suspect the problem was that the previous owner has put a 3.3v video card which may have damaged the mb. Have tried a 1.5v video card, but no luck. Also the BIOS battery was completly flat. I have replaced that but the board is still the same.

Can anyone help or should I just BIN it.???

Thanks
