Awhile later, the words...reboot, insert disc and press enter, appeared in the upper left corner of the monitor screen. I had no idea what to do so I shut everythg down overnight. This morning, everything is fine! If this happens again and I still want to use the computer for awhile, what do I do? Help!

I'm trying to get two monitors rollin' on my dimension E3100 and Dell support told me I needed a PCI-E x1 video card. When I search for this on ebay I'm getting all sorts of stuff; motherboards, computers, etc., and I just need the card! Do I basically just need a dual PCI card?

Do you think buying parts of computer and assemble it your self is cheaper than buying an ordinary computer. If so were can I find cheaper price but standard brand like DELL parts.

This is how its written in the manual specification:does it mean every core has 2-GHZ or bot cores of the processor.

The power died in my PC running on XP, and I'm told I need a new motherboard and processor. There are files and photo's I'd like to save, but the repair centre is suggesting a new pc as an option. Can I still save the files. Any thoughts?

My HP Media Center pops up an advisory that, "A camera has been detected. To view the images you need to change how your camera is recognized by the PC. The camera's USB setting must be set to disk drive instead of digital camera."

Problem is, I have no idea how to change this. Can someone give me quick step-by-step as to how to change this? I have a HP Pavillion.

I just bought a 22" lcd monitor.
It is awesome lol.
anyways the native resolution for my monitor is 1680x1050.
First if all, can anyone tell me what the aspect ratio of this monitor is?
Also, i have games that do not support such a high resolution.
What is the next best resolution to run my games at, so that I will still get the clearest picture, despite rescaling?

I'm thinking of selling my Apple Macbook and i've no idea how much to charge. I don't know too much about computers so i'm not entirely sure what model it is so i'll describe it:

I bought it at Toys R Us last year and I think I paid about £750 for it. It's white and is in mint condition with original box and everything that came with it when new.

It has a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor and 512MB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. (Whatever that means!)

What should I charge? I'm in the UK, by the way.

Thanks very much.
