My computer has been restarting for the past week and I am wondering what the problem is.
This happens usually when im on the web either watching videos or playing online games. It has never restarted when I play Counter Strike Source or Maple Story.
I recently updated my video card driver, cleaned out my computer of dust and even put on new thermal paste on my cpu heatsink.

I check the heat on my cpu using SpeedFan and it says that my cpu is idle at 69C and Core1,Core2 are at 80C. I am using the stock fan for Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHZ and I have an Nvidia Geforce 7600 GT Video Card.

I'm thinking on purchasing a Toshiba A210 notebook with a ATI RADEON X1200 card.
Will this run Secondlife? Anyone has experiences with this?

Got back from class today to notice that my monitor on my desktop was blank. The monitor's power is on, but the light on it is blinking as though nothing was connected. The monitor works, I hooked it up to my laptop and got it to turn on perfectly. My PC is starting up, I even hear the chime sound of Windows turning on. No errors that I can find, but its hard to diagnose without any visual. The Video Card is about 6 months old, good condition, not overclocked, extra fan. Was working fine yesterday.

i have a ScanDisk 2gb SD card that i use with my digital camera. everytime i put it on my computer it usually just opens up on it's own allowing me to view the files.

my problem is now when i insert my SD card and open it, i can't view my files, the automatic folder for my digicam pix is nowhere to be found too. all that appears is a file called "bootex"

when i insert my SD on my Digicam, it works perfectly fine & i can view my pics on there but i can't view it when i put it on my computer.

someone please HELP!

many thanks [:

I have loved my Mac but out of nowhere it totally burned out on me and I needed to shell out $1200 just to fix it. The guy said it was really weird especially since I am super careful about how I handle it. Now I am in desperate need for a new laptop and I am now weary to go back to a Mac, but I did love it. I basically need something for school, writing papers, storing photos, and i defiently need Wire less interent preferably Wi fi coz I take classes online. I am wondering if I should a PC or a Mac again, what are your suggestions? Also I am going to be majoring in Information Systems so should I get a PC so I am more familiar with working with the software??

At work we have an HP 3600 laserjet that sends an error message saying "fuser error" and then goes on to say the fuser is too hot. We took the fuser out and turned the printer off for 30 minutes so it could cool down. Afterwards though, we still receive the same error message. I contacted HP support, but they want to charge us for help with the problem. Is there anybody who knows how to fix this??

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
