Hardware - June 2007

The problem goes away if the computer turns off from lack of power(battery low, not connected to a power adapter). Once I turn it on again the computer works fine. If I just hold the power button and turn it off it will still have the problem when I turn it on again. It lags everything including the toachpad and the power button which you have to hold for about six seconds before it response. The same for the other keys on the keyboard. I also notice that when their high cpu usage the fan on the laptop is not working. When the computer is back to normal the touchpad, keyboard, power button, and fan work normally. It's just weird that these devices work after the computer turns off from losing power from not having energy. Again its the system under task manager that is using about 40% of the cpu when the laptop is not working properly.

Budget got upped and I switched websites. Here's my new "shopping list" for the new rig I'm getting. Does it all work together with a Celeron D processor, 2G of memory, a floppy drive, a CD drive, and a nice big hard drive? Do I NEED a sound card, or can it run sound without one?

They are both graphics chips in the iMacs, I heard GeForce is the best. They are both 128mb though, does GeForce still look a lot better than the Radeon in the lower model iMacs?

I have a Packard Bell - i_connect Which was bought in 2000.
It has a intel celeron 700MHz Processor with a 10 GB HDD running on 319mb of Ram, Recently running on Windows ME, i have now Updated to XP :)

When i Start up my PC, You Hear The Monitor Waking up, And Then The Tower Beeps Once, Then The Black 'Packard Bell' Screen is displayed. At this point absolutely nothing happens, My Hdd makes a few noises, but it's as if the pc has frozen, except i can't get it to work properly.

I Hope The Info I Have Given Is Usefull...

I Hope Someone Can Help Me :)

Many Thanks, Dave ;)
