At the end of the day we always shut down the computer, I prefer to use the little key, which says you can safely shut down your system. My husband always uses the other little box, and just shuts down the system.. Or is there any need to be concerned on which is used?

I have a Gigabyte GA-7VT600-L motherboard, I'm upgrading my RAM and want to know if dual channel memory will work on a non dual channel motherboard. And also whats the difference?

What about if it's just one stick of RAM thats dual channel compatible? I found it on ebay and unsure weather to buy or not.

My laptop battery is fairly new (I even did the self check on the battery, and it says it is still good), but my computer will not stay on for more than 10 seconds without the AC adapter. Is there something wrong with the battery or is the problem coming from inside the computer?

I used a software to overclock my RAM and CPU. I used a programme to do it and have a feeling this is causing my "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" stop errors.

Does anyone know how I can change it back? I can't remember the programme I used.

There are many reasons why I consider buying a laptop:
1-My CD burner doesn't work anymore, so this laptop would solve this problem.
2-My desktop-PC doesn't have a DVD-burner, the laptop does.
3-I also don't have a DVD /reader/, and, of course the laptop does.
4-My computer makes too much noise, I feel like in a factory, it makes so much noise, I mean, it's noisy.
5-My destop PC smells like... gas, and I fear respiration problems because of this.
6-It makes a terrible heat in summer, and, I'm in a... very hot location, it isn't comfortable in summer over here.
7-I don't need games and stuff on my computer, I only browse the web, view photos, and burn CDs, listen to music...
8-A laptop would be easier to transport (to the reperator) if it crashes or something.
9-It has more hard-drive memory, more perfomance, and Windows Vista.
It is, btw a Toshiba Satellite A100-335, so it's a bit pricey, and another contra-point is that I don't get out of my house with it. So what do you thi

Hi all,

I've just bought a new PC with 22" widescreen Xerox monitor and Nvidia 7600 graphics card.

I've installed all the drives and it runs fine, the only problem is that when I try and run the machine as 1600x1050 the text on all my documents becomes fuzzy?

I know everythings running well because I've tried a couple of games and they run crystal clear at full resolution with all the options ticked so I know the card is doing it's job.

What can I do to cure this? If I change the screen down to smaller resolution the text becomes clear, but I lose a load of desktop workspace, which was the whole point of buying a 22 inch monitor.

Help please!
