I had purchased a HP laptop a month ago, and somehow i am facing a problem like it takes at least 20 min. to warm up, means when I hit power button and I start to work something on it, it need 20min to work something. in between I can not do anything. If I hit anything it saws processing and start late. Also my laptop takes some more time to shut down compare to before. What should i do?

I go under my computer, and my CD burner doesn't show up any more.

I want to burn a CD, and I insert my disk, and nothing happens.
Why?

The 256 mb card is more expensive than the 512 so I'm assuming it must be better. I really don't know anything about video cards. I am trying to do slide shows and my computer keeps locking up. I have a Dell XPS 400 with 4 gb of RAM but my video card is only 128 mb.

My brother gave me his laptop to look at. It boots up to the desktop screen but comes up with a message saying that there are spyware and infections in his computer. Apparently this only happened when he installed Norton. No programs will open and after about 4 minutes, the screen starts to dissappear from the top down until there is nothing to see on desktop except his background pic.

I have started laptop in safemode with prompts but am not sure of what commands to type to:

1. Remove Norton so i can work the problem out on desktop and install a program to destroy the infections.

2. Type commands to completely reformatt the HDD on the laptop and start all over again.

Would be appreciated if anyone has any differnt ideas too on this topic.

I have an old house with very few outlets, and with my computer, monitor, printer, phone, answering machine, tv, and DVD player, I have to use power strips. I currently (no pun intended) have one plugged into another and the second plugged into the wall. Can I add one more or will I overload the outlet?

When it comes to the hardware, I am not quite the brightest. I wanted to know how you could increase your Bus size (?) to let your processor use all of it's power. I asked another question like this about a game and still no answer. But I have 3.2 GHz of processor it says, and I want to know how to let it actually use all of it to play a game. Thanks to the technical answers when they come in =P

I have a sandisk 2GB and 1 GB and I usually put pictures on them for projects. However, It seems that after I a certain amount of files on the drives and try to save more it says that file can't be copied because disk space is full. I check the capacity of my drives and they are no way near full. I don't know why it does that. Can someone help? Thanks :)

Like normal audio cd's, MP3 disks, data files, ect...? Or ONLY DVDs? This is mostly to clear up a debate.

P.S. The RAM is DDR2 so is the M.B.

Hello

It is summer and the temperature is high over here (Cyprus). HDDlife show that my hard disk has high temperature 45 Celcius. Should I get a hard disk cooler/fan and which one would you advice. I don't want to get anything with water cooling system. Also are there some ways to cool the PC more. I have a Zalman CPU cooler and the case is open. Any advice.

Thank you
