It doesn't matter if its the desktop or if I am surfing the web. It will move by itself side to side every couple of minutes. Its a brand new computer and we have XP installed. I am getting motion sickness from it. Please help.

Once I shut down my laptop the cable box has a "standby" button. Should I use that button or just unplug the computer? Is there a difference in the amount of electricity used?

In my computer I have 3 Hard Drives (all internal) My main hard drive has XP on and is partitioned with Ubuntu on it also. On another Hard drive I have in my computer I have vista on it and that is also partitioned with Mac OSX (so my computer is a Quad-boot if you like) And the third Hard Drive is a 500GB just sitting there storing lots of things and is nearly full.

Anyway one morning, turned on my computer was trying to boot into Vista like normal and it cam eup with an error saying it cannot find the vista Start-up drivers. I though Vista must have a problem and be corrupt, putting in the install DVD should work fine. I tried to boot into Mac and that also would'nt boot. So I booted into XP and clicked on My Computer and it only showed 1 hard drive the one I was using. It previously always showed 3. So in the end 2 of my 3 Hard Drives have stopped working. Im not to bothered about the Vista/Mac one but my 500GB I am, they still both spin but just wont be recognized can anyone help?

I accidentally dropped some drops of water near my keyboard and I think some of it may have spilled on the keyboard. It seems to be working fine, but is there any chance that the water could have seeped into the internal components? Is there a chance that it will short out my computer if it did? I'm using a new usb keyboard, if that helps.

I have a WHITE iBook G4. Well, it WAS a white Mac anyway. It's gotten a bit on the dirty side in the last few years, and I would like to know if there were some easy ways to clean it without resorting to go to Fry's Electronics to buy some super-uber, fantastic computer cleaning product that costs a bundle. I've tried water and tissue but the dirt is resisting my attempts! Other than that, if there is no other alternative, Fry's here I come!

I'm shopping around for a notebook computer and am constantly seeing the nVIDIA logo followed by a series of numbers, and an description declaring that it is the latest and greatest in 3D rendering. About an hour ago, I even saw the nVIDIA quadro... no numbers following it all!

I am not an intense gamer, but I do love to play my share. I especially am thinking of something like WoW or really any MMO, and possibly some FPS games. Can someone explain to me the number system behind nVIDIA and give me some direction as to which are good, better, and best?
