Put basically, I'm clumsy. I accidentally spilled some milk on my Verbatim Jump Drive the other day and I'm wondering if I'm facing any risk because of it.

I have had my computer for 3 months and for the first 2 it worked fine. Now it only boots correctly about 70% of the time and when I do actually log on I will usually get the error "STOP: 0X000000F4". After I get this error once and manage to boot my computer successfully again I do not get the stop error again.

When the computer fails to boot the erorr message usually reads something like "Failed to find correct boot device".

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey guys, i just bought this sweet pc from best buy. It coasts 750$ and the only flaw in it is that i just found out that the power supply of this pc was 300Watts ! . Neways.... i saw this video card that i wanted to get but it requires 350 Watts. Should i still buy the card or do i need to get a new power supply?
And if so, is it easy to replace the power supply/ do u need to replace your motherboard inorder for the new psu to work?
thx any answers will be fine

My laptop brand is Toshiba and its hardware and software have damaged. I can't turn on the laptop and after I sent it for repair, they said that the laptop must be reformated. What makes it worse is that if I choose to do so, all my documents, songs, pictures etc will be deleted.

Do you know any other solutions to repair it without deleting my informations? If my laptop has to be reformated, is it wise to upgrade it to Windows Vista? (I'm currently using Windows XP)

Your answers and opinions are much appreciated. TQ!
