Hi. recently my laptop crashed and ever since then windows will not start up and my dvd drive decided to stop working. when i boot up it will get to the windows loading screen and then suddenly a blue screen will come up( it disapears to fast to read anything of it though) and my laptop will restart and always do the same. when i try to boot in safe mode it will get up to a file called mup.sys and then restart. The weird thing is that when i take the same HD and put it in another laptop it will work perfectly. i have tried putting a working other HD on my laptop but still wont work. could the dvd be causing this? if not what is the problem. any help anyone?

I bought an Acer laptop with windows vista, it came with a built-in camera and mic, but the quality was realy bad. when I record a video, the audio part of it, I can hear a little of me talking and alot of background noise. so I went to wal-mart and bought a Microsoft lifecam vx-3000 with built in mic. The video is extreamly better, and the audio is a little better, i can hear my voice better now, but i still hear a fuzz sound in the background that gets anoying. Nothing is running in my room. it is solid quiet. i have seen other people videos and the sound is crystal clear and they say they just use there mic that came built in. I am starting to think it is my pc, but im not sure. why would this noise be there if my room is dead silents? Is there anything i can do, or a tool i can use to clean up the audio for my videos? some kind of tool that will take that noise out so you only hear me talking? I have tweaked everything I know how to, but maybe im missing something. Thanks guys.

My screen on my LCD monitor got messed up today(cause of a ball hitting it) . Something that looked very much like a spider web showed on the screen and it does'nt go away. I think the screen glass may have broken or something cause i actually managed to hit it with a ball(not with purpose of course), so i think the glass inside has broken, but the outside looks fine. Maybe some dead pixels or something?? I have no idea!! Please help and just ask if theres something you don't understand...my english is VERY bad!! What I really want to know is if I have to get a new screen or if i can send in for repair??

So my laptop broke but the LCD screen is in perfect condition so i detatched it from the motherboard. So is there any possibility to use the screen to connect it to Compasite cables (Like the yellow white and red) Or a way to connect a slim PS2 to it in general.
I am basicly trying to make a portable slim PS2 with the casing of my broken laptop and my screen with the posibility of also connecting it to a TV.
Is this possible or easy? If not do you know any ideas to create something smiliar? and also is it possible to connect the speakers from the broken laptop as well?

I heard you aren't supposed to take them to the landfill to get rid of them.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I am interested in a computer featuring an AMD 5000+ processor, i want a good video card, also a 500gb hard drive and 2gigs of ram. A TV Tuner would be a bonus. I noticed the HP package that I want is $1100 without a monitor; but the Dell package that comes with a 20" monitor is only $1049. Why is that?

On a community livejournal titled "laptop hosing," someone was asking for a large magnet because he had, " a dead drive in a laptop, that I need to turn in tomorrow."
What does this mean?

I connect my PCG-FRV37 to WEGA Sony TV using AV output via RCA cable. It was working fine till last week. But now when i try to switch the display using Fn+F7, it shows only LCD display(Earlier there used to be three options Only LCD, LCD+TV, Only TV)
Also note that when i connect the cable to TV, I am able to transfer the audio signal but no video.
Please tell me if there is any solution to this. I tried many things viz. restore the system, reset BIOS, re-install all the drivers, I also contacted sony support but my problem is not resolved yet.
I appreciate your help.
