How much memory and how big a hard drive do I need to have a fast, smoothly running computer for internet, email, downloading and watching videos and music?

Is 512MB and 250GB ok?

First, I have unplugged the power and all components on my computer to get rid of risidual ram memory.
When I start my computer up, I get the blue screen, then it gives me an option as to how to start it. I have started it in safe, safe w/ networking , and in normal.
After doing so, I get the windows starting screen, then it shuts down and the cycle starts over. It almost seems like it is also going into hibernation.

such as now, it sounds like a disc is in it making a clicking sound, like a plate in a microwave that clangs on the side, you know the sound I mean?

Hello,

I just came up to some refurbished computers for around $300, and I was wondering if it is a good idea to buy refurbished computers? If possible, where can I find desktop computers in Calgary, Alberta? Thanks!

Okay, So one day I turned it on and this popped out

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
< Windows 2000 root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe.
Please reinstall a copy of the above file.

What do I do about this?

i just bought a new computer and lcd monitor, but my computer hasn't arrived yet. i hooked my monitor up to my old computer[about 6 years old and definitely not the best], and the screen now has a yellow tint to it. i adjusted the colors and everything else i could think of, but nothing worked. is it because of the computer, and should i wait until the new one comes in? or is something wrong with the monitor itself? i'm not very good with this stuff. thank you!

What does this mean? This message pops up everytime I will try to open Warcraft 3 in my PC. I will get a blackend screen with the words "H. V Frequency Over Range" but I do have an audio.

My monitor's a 15' CRT by ViewSonic (model E50cSB) and my video card's Sparkle 7300GT 256MB 128 bit DDR 2...

This problem doesn't occur all the time. Sometimes I have to restart my computer once or twice and the game will run ok. Sometimes it just won't.

What's the problem and what can I do about this?

Thanks for your answers!

I want to put new software on my computer. How do I delete the old to install the new. I tried going to control panel but for some odd reason I can not do it. I just need to know how to delete software. I'm a little confused because on my desk computer I can just right click and delete and this is just more confusing for me. All I've ever used it for is writting papers for school but I just feel like it's time to upgrade to better software and wanted to try to mess with it myself. HELP

I am going to buy a HP nx7300 laptop with the following specs:

15.4" WXGA BrightView screen
Intel Celeron M 1.73GHz Processor
1GB DDR2 SDRAM Memory and 120GB Hard Drive
Windows Vista Home Basic
Dual Layer DVD+/-RW Super Multi-Drive
Notebook Essentials 2007 Software Bundle

I will upgrade the memory to 4gb DDR2... Will Far Cry, Half Life 2, Halo, Halo 2, GTA San Andreas, The Sims 2, Doom 3 and other high end games work smoothly? If only I can upgrade the video card, I will upgrade it to the newest ATI video card. HD2900xt.

A Pentium 4 3.2 GHz (Dual Core) 935 (2MBx2) 800FSB or a
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.8 GHz (2MB) 800FSB?

Now, I'm totally perplexed by these two processors, the Pentium 4 specs is pretty good,
but I know that Intel Core 2 Duo is the latest processor by Intel. I live here in the Philippines
and their price is actually just a 100 Php difference - P4 3.2 GHz (5800Php or around 126.09$ in here)
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz (5700Php or around 123.91$ in here ) [1$=46Php]

I know that The Core 2 Duo is fast enought to run Sonar 6, Pro Tools or some other heavy programs
but the Pentium 4 is pretty good also... Can you please choose for me so I can buy what's the best (I
know the 2 is best for me) but I just need 1... Please give me reasons also why that processor is more
better to pick. Thanks guys!

Hey, recently I bought desktop memory from bestbuy. Turned out it was defective. It's supposed to be compatible with my pc and everything but when i installed it i kept getting beeping sounds see here for more detail http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aki7VY5kklvyMqAPn.Bsje3sy6IX?qid=20070707193212AASeQI3
Anyways I was wondering if i should go to Bestbuy and bring my PC to them. And this time make sure I get the right one. I'm planning to get the same one i bought before. That should be a good idea right?

Following is my system configuration:

MB= Nvidia P5N-E SLI
CPU= E6600
Memory= kingston 800 mhz 1X2 = 2 GB
Video card= Nvidia 7600GT

Following are my overclocking parameters

VCORE= 1.36V, manually set in BIOS.
FSB= 357 MHZ
Bus speed = 1430 MHZ.

Results: CPU running at 3.2 GHz

CPU temp 35 degree C
MB temp 37 degree C

conclusion: the system is running very stable without a hitch. i was able to achieve these results just by adjusting the FSB and Vcore. Did not make any changes to memory or video.
I am sure if i want , i can probably get the CPU to operate much higher, but im happy with these results .
