I can not find anything on the motherboard pertaining to the company name, I found only an ID and a serial number sticker.

I know it's an old motherboard, I think it has a Pentium 3 processor socket, one AGP slot, and 2 PCI slots. It also has this crazy mini slot that a dial-up card is attached to.

I bought my Gateway laptop new from BestBuy about a year and a half ago. Up until about 6 months ago, my computer would automatically connect to any wireless networks that were available. Now, it won't show any wireless networks available even when I know there is at least one, such as at a public place with Wifi. I've tried to repair the wireless connection and it displays this message: "Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the followinng action cannot be completed: Connecting to the wireless network."

The part before this was a copy of another question on here but it was never answered and now one of the people at work has the same problem any ideas?

I've also uninstalled the device and let windows pick it up on startup and I still get the same error.

I left-click on the little icon by the clock, verify that I want to "safely remove" my flash drive. Then I get a window that says, "The device 'Generic volume' cannot be stoped right now. Try stopping the device again later."... with a "OK" button.


So... I right-click the little icon by the clock and I verify that I want to "safely remove hardware" and I get a dialog box- "Safely Remove Hardware"... it says, "Select the device you want to unplug or eject, and then click Stop. When Windows notifies you that it is safe to do so unplug the device from your computer." Only one item available for selection, USB Mass Storage Device, so I just click Stop.

Then another dialog box-- "Confirm devices to be stoped, choose OK to continue. Windows will attempt to stop the following devices. Afther the devices are stopped they may be removed safely." I get 3 options- USB Mass Storage Device, Generic Volume, and the brand name of my flash drive. No matter which one I pick...

I brought a new Pc a week ago. It has a strange problem, it simply restarts (reboots) with out any reason.

I consulted my vender he said it was the problem with the power supply the first time and he changed it, the second time he changed the RAM.

wat may be the actual culprit?

ATI X850xt PE.
Gigabyte DS-3 with Conroe E6400.

Since the crashing has started, I have tried both newest and older catalyst drivers to no avail. Tried system restore point, no luck. Checked hardware (temps/votage), I would say it is a software/driver problem for sure. Happens only while gaming (or heavy graphics card load?), no error messages nothing, just shuts down like a power outage.

Any ideas? I am usually really savy with computers but no error messages or graphics glitches has thrown me for a loop.

Hey Guys
We currently have a Dell optiplex GX260 with a Pentium 4 1.5Ghz and are looking at updating the processor. Is there only the one type of socet type in the Pentium 4? What should we be looking out for when buying processors.
Cheers

How do i clean it up? bc i KNOW i havent used nearly that much space.

I have previously reinstalled windows xp, so could it not have deleted the other partitions? And they are building up? I noticed this last time when i reinstalled, that it said i had 40 gigs used. But i hadnt even put anything on it yet.

I have no viruses, and i have deleted as much as i can from my hard drive. I am currently defragging, and i have erased my system restore backup files.

AND I STILL HAVE 56 GIGS USED!!!

Is there something i am missing? How can i delete the previous windows installs IF that is the problem?

im thinking of getting a dv9000t i absolutely luv everything about it, including it's price as well.

one thing that bothers me is it's design. its design looks really weak and cheap. i am worried that if i drop it, it would break. and i am going to use it for about 6 years. can someone tell me if an HP dv9000t is strong enough to take on my beating?
