My Dell Dimension DIM4600 pc often shuts down after a short time of being logged on, usually in the mornings after having not being used over night. When I start up again the message "caution, previous shut down caused by thermal event, press f1 key to continue" appears. This can happen several times a morning until the pc seems to have warmed up. Anybody out there got a solution, please?

The PC is 1 year old. Intel 3.2 GHZ processor, 1024 MB ram,
two Hard Drives (120+80 GB) running Windows XP. It takes about 5 minutes to boot and runs really slow. I had some games installed but i 've unistalled them all. I've degragmented the disk, checked it for errors, defragmented and optimized the registry, chosen only the important programs to start on startup, used Norton and AVG to check for viruses and spyware but nothing....
Any ideas???

My specs: Sempron3000+ 2 GHz, 1GB DDR400 ram, EVGA FX5500 AGP. I want to upgrade video card. I see some reviews in the 7600GS "If u dont have at least DDR2 sys. ram and 2.33Ghz of cpu you won't get the max out of this card." Is this true? So if I get a 7600GT AGP or 7800GS AGP I *wont* see a difference with having to upgrade to a 7600GS AGP? I can go for any card.

Hi guys, I did vedio shopping for laptop and I found that those notebooks with AMD processors are much cheaper than with Intel. I don't really understand the difference b/n the two...but how come such big price difference? Which one do you recommend me?

I just started college and I am in desperate need of a laptop. I think the Turion processors are better but which one is really the best? What about the GHz? Does higher speed mean it draws more power? I've tried to find the difference between all those processors so if you can give me the best answer you win.

As the title indicates, I'm looking at upgrading my computer's hardware for when Warhammer Online comes out. So far, I have an ATI Radeon 9100 Graphics card and 2 gig of ram that I'm satisfied with, but my computer is still pretty laggy when playing games. Should I look at upgrading the motherboard next? What would you suggest, and what procedure for doing so would you recommend?

I really want a laptop but the problem is, I don't know what to look out for.
- I play the Multi Combat games, need a hell lot of memory.
- I do heavy research, so what do I need for that?
- I listen to music and don't like them being slow. So??
- and a webcam installed. and bluetooth.
- and I like the colour white.

Yeah, so mind helping me with the first three options? I'm really considering the HP Pavilion tx1005AU but according to my dad, it's not good (blablabla). What laptop is suitable for a demanding user like me?

PS. Are Macbooks good?
