I have this old scare on my left arm. I have not had any trouble with it till recently when I noticed something. Anytime I use the laptop, I have this severe pain in my arm. I suspected radiation but when I went to the public library and used theirs, I did not feel the pain. I mentioned it to a friend and he explained that in the public library the radiation is distributed in a wider space so I cannot feel anything. I stopped using the laptop for a while and the pain stopped. I have resumed using it and as I am typing now, the pain is unbearable. What do I do?
I have read many postings saying that radiation from laptop is minimal, but could this be true? Help before I am killed by my obsession with computers. Thanks a lot.

I now am using a NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 that came with my Dell 4600.
I bought a ATI Radeon 9250 Graphics Card.
Is the Radeon a good upgrade or should I stay with the Geforce ?

My computer starts, First screen has comp information top left, theres a blinking bar like when you open empty text document. Second screen no system info, just the blinking bar top left. Computer then just stays that way. Virus? HD damaged? Hd dead? or chip set dead?

Hello, I want to purchase the Inspiron 1501 from dell.com but am having trouble deciding which processor I should get. I know a little bit about Intel processors but not much about AMD processors.
So AMD Turion or AMD Ahtlon? Also what's the comparison with the AMD Turion to the Intel's and the Amd Athlon's to the Intels...?

I'm looking for a PCI Express video card that supports Windows Vista and a monitor resolution of 1440x900. I can't find any cards that explicitly say 1440x900, but a few of the cards I've been looking at have bad reviews regarding Vista.

I haven't opened the case yet, but I'm pretty sure I have a 16x slot. As long as I can choose a custom resolution and the card works with Vista, it will be fine. I'm looking for at least 256mb if not 512. Thanks.

So my computer was costumized and we bought it for about $800 about 1 and a half to two years ago. I kind of think that the computer we bought was a rip off, and I kind of think it is because we bought just the CPU without the monitor, keyboards and anyth accessories. While at other stores, it cost about 800 for a whole set and it was looking new (colour black). The man also said that he would give us a deal and upgrade our computer to 512MB we agreed and we paid extra (that's why it summed up to $800 something). Anyways, I went into My Computer and checked the Properties. It is a Windows XP.

It says:
AMD Sempron (tm) Processor 2600 + 1.60 Ghz, 480 MB of RAM.

1) Was the price we bought it for worth it? Were we ripped off? Other better, well known stores sell for a lower price, complete set with 512MB of memory/RAM.

2) How do I check what kind of RAM I would require because I do not know how to check that. I am interested in buying RAM for my customized computer.

I just upgraded my computer from 1GB of ram to 3GBs of ram. I inserted 2 CMX1024-3200C2PRO into the computer. I cost me almost 230 dollars to buy it, and I'm not seeing any performance increase. Infact, the computer seems to be running SLOWER and is making applications crash more often (Zone Alarm) which then freezes up my whole computer.

I can't adjust anything in the BIOS, I think the timing is wrong. I would like to know how and how to OC the RAM.

Any suggestions?
