Hardware - February 2007

I'm about to buy or should I say build a 64-bit computer, but can't run to buying Windows Vista yet, but I already own a copy of XP SP2 which is 32 Bit, could I load this onto my new 64 bit computer? I suppose I could get a cheap copy of XP 64 from somewhere but I want to avoid this.

So this morning for the life of me my computer would not boot. The computer would power on, but the bios would fail to post. I tried changing the bios jumper settings which did not work. As a last resort I started unplugging things then booting, to no avail, then plugging things back in. Finally, I took out 1 stick of ram and the computer was able to boot! I figured the stick I had removed was the cuplrit, but just to make sure I plugged it back in, and removed the "good one". The computer booted again fine. I plugged them both in and as I write this question the computer seems to be working fine again.

Can anyone explain to me what is going on? Is it possible, I have a power supply problem?

My Lexmark printer is not printing in the right colors. Almost everything comes out green. I bought new name brand ink cartridges, but it didn't change anything. Also, sometimes it won't print at all. I just get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. I did the troubleshooting, but nothing I did worked. I tried to uninstall it the reinstall it, but t computer said the printer is busy and can't be uninstalled until it's through with its task. I went in and cancelled all the print jobs, but it still said it was busy. My dog chewed on the usb cable (there are no wires showing or anything) so I was wondering if maybe the cable could be causing the miscommunication.

This problem is getting to be ridiculous. I am currently on a college campus where the college provides each student with a laptop- my class got the R40s. Also, we have an IBM repair shop onsite for the school. The repair shop has no idea why my computer keeps turning off randomly. Their scanners aren't picking anything up, but they have seen the problem happen. They already replaced the system board once, have removed all of the software on it and reloaded all the basics onto it several times, and have taken it apart and cleaned it. They are still coming up dry. They have also confirmed that I am not the one causing the problem. It happens most often when I am playing a computer game or surfing the internet. There is no warning what so ever, it simply shuts off completely- the screen just goes black. It isn't the battery either. Any thoughts as to what might be causing this problem?
