I know this question has already been asked but what i know about pcs and laptops is pretty much nothing. I knownhow to turn it on and thats about it.

I have a laptop and it keeps constantly re starting - boots OK windows Logo appears - gets almost to the start screen and shuts down and does the same again - same thing happens in safe mode as well it scrolls all the text in safe mode and the restarts.

It had been running fine. Went in the bath and it had restarted itself. Any help in basic step by step instructions would be great!

Thanx in advance

I have a notebook and the only way to connect my firewire video camera would be with special adapter from USB to female firewire. Does anyone know a link to web site where I can purchase something like that ? Or what is it called so I can ask for it somewhere ? Thanks

my computer just shut off and i felt the case and it was HOT, ive had my computer shut off b4 due to overheating cuz my mobo got some program to shut it off if CPU gets too hot. I look down to see that the power light is still green but everything else is off, so i hold it down for ten seconds to shut it off. Then i waited, every hour i tried to turn it back on but it wont and the case is pretty cold. however everytime i try to turn it on the powersupply side of the case (on top in the back)is warm while the opposite side is pretty cold. Please tell me how to fix it do i need a new powersupply? this happened like 2 days ago

I have an AMD Socket 754 Motherboard in my PC (Foxconn), with the SiS 755 NorthBridge in it.

I have (for the first time) checked the Temperatures on Both my North and South Bridges, and they seem to be running Hotter than my CPU!!

My NorthBridge SiS 755 runs around 124F (or higher), and my SouthBridge SiS 964 runs around 109F. My CPU runs between 90F to 100F, and about 8F Warmer at the Core.

I am Currently Liquid-Cooling my CPU, and Raptor Hard Drive.
Are these Temperatures Normal for the North & South Bridges??

I have also Installed SpeedFan, and have found the Same Temps in there (just a couple Degrees off).
And what is the ACPI?!?

I'm currently writing a book, and since I'm constantly on the go, I need a laptop so I can write wherever I am. I need a laptop that is easily portable, has good software for what I need, and is compatible with Microsoft Office Word Documents.
