I have a Compaq Presario and it turns on perfectly fine but if I go to a site for example to play games or something it will shut down completely. It will only turn back on if i unplug it from the outlet and then turn it back on. Does anyone know what I should do?

You know how when you update something like windows xp to vista does that take up any memory anywhere on your computer?

The picture quality on my computer really took a nosedive recently. Now my pictures look very grainy and pixelized (?) I wonder what happened and what I can do with an upgrade or something else to correct this problem. My operating system is Windows XP Home. Robert Scott

Any suggestions? The two ports in my router don't work. It's not lighting up in the front. I already called Vonage and they act as if they don't know what's going on.

I know, I know. It's an old motherboard. I haven't had any problem with it until lately when trying to play Dreamfall, which requires a video card with pixel shading. Right now, I have a GeForce 2 (I also tried a GeForce 4, but that is just a GeForce 2 marketed as a budget card.) I have heard that the game can run on a GeForce 3, but I don't know if my motherboard can take it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have a amd 3800 cpu, my mother board is a nvidia 6100 chipset, it was 512 megs ram, video card came on chipset and shared the memory with my ram. It was Vista Premium. Ecery thing worked, but I wanted to continue upgrading. So I installed 2 gigs ram, running dual channel, and I made my exsisting mother board a 3800 dual core, and added a 250 gig hd, up until then every thing was working with optimal performance, I just needed a better video card, so I went with the nvidia 7300 gt 256 mg. I turn the computer on it works, cut it off and after that it never came back on. I assumed it needed more power after all the upgrades, so I changed the power supply, still no fix, so I try reverting back to the original setup, I take out the video card, new hd, and even the added ram, still won't come on. Is it my mother board? If I have to change my mother board, then how will I use the product key from my vista disk, isn't it set to my original mother board? Please help.

I originally had xp on my laptop but got it upgraded it to vista with a free upgrade disc i got. But the problem is, that I dont like vista and want to return my laptop to xp, but im having trouble returning it to the factory defaults (which I hope will return it to xp). I been pressing Alt+F10 when I boot up like it says to do in the manuel, but nothing happens (apart from a beeping sound). I've looked around on the internet and I read that its happened to other people, and that there's something wrong with the laptop cos the Alt+F10 should work. So if anyone else could please help, and let me know if there are any way to get the Alt+F10 thing to work or tell me if there are any other ways to restore my laptop to its factory defaults. Cheers
