I heard that computers, like many electrical appliances, have a so-called "life-span" such that watching too much videos may shorten its usability. How true is that? Thanks!

I believe that there is a power supply requirement written on the 8600GT box, but I cannot take the box and read. I try to find the PSU requirement for 8600GT on the net, but I just can't seem to find it, I even try the Nvidia website. I know that the power supply requirement for 7600GT is 350watt, but how much is enough for the 8600GT?

My friend recently installed windows xp on my laptop. After he did that, i noticed that my screen flickers lightly the whole time its on. Also, the mouse pointer moves, and kinda lags while it does. Its just wierd.

I have 512 ram, and i had windows 2000 b4 he put xp.
Does this mean that the xp is ungenuine, or is it because of something else? Is there anyway to fix it?

I have got a MCE computer with tuner and a ATI radeon X850 graphics card. The problem is that the fan in the graphics card blocks the PCI-E port for my tuner and with a dial-up modem in the other one i cant watch tv without swapping the two things round. or is there another way round the problem.

if you can get a external PCI-E port please leave details on where you can get it from.

thanks

I need help, it was fine last night, I closed it, opened it now, and it screwed up.

Thanks a lot!

I have an XP, Intel Core Duo around 2 GHZ, and I did do a virus scan, adware, and cleaned out my comp yesterday.

There is a red x on PCI Device under Other Devices in my device manager and I dont know what it is. I'm pretty sure its not the graphics card because thats installed and working fine. As far as I know thats the only PCI device in there! It doesn't seem to be affecting my system but its bugging me all the same. Anyone know what it could be?

I am currently looking into buying a new video card to upgrade from my integrated Nvidia6100 and I would like a video card with DirectX10. I am planning on spending under $200.

For example:

Would I rather have a Nvidia 8500GTS with 256 MB with a Core clock speed at 675MHz and Memory Clock speed at 2000HMz
OR
Would I rather have a Nvidia 8600GT with a Core clock speed at 540MHz and Memory Clock speed at 667MHz?

Any recommended cards by the way? I'm planning to buy off of Newegg.com if that makes a difference.

this is what happened. 2 weeks ago i had to reset my packard bell easynote r4622 windows xp sp2 to factory settings using the recovery boot disk i created from it a year ago. halfway through the recovery, something went wrong and it said that some files on the disc are missing and the laptop went and stuck in dos mode. now whenever i turn it on, all i get on the sceen is microsoft windos 98 followed by C:\> waiting for a command. i got the proper master recovery cd's from packard bell. i have tried these discs but the dvd drive won't read them and it just returns to the dos screen again. when i went in to the bio system and selected to read the discs, it says there is no bootable disc in the drive. i have also tried this with the original recovery disc and norton ghost bootable disc and that's all it keeps saying. i have put these discs in to my other laptop and there is nothing wrong with the discs as they all show ok. i have a usb dvd rom drive but won't work. any ideas?
