Hardware - October 2007

I juz bought a new LCD Screen Monitor. My old CRT monitor burnt n fumed out. It cannot function alrdy. Till now I still can't find out wat was the main factor.
I wish I can do sth for my new monitor, to protect it. Hopefully, I can help to prolong its life spam. Ridiculous, right? But I m serious. Computer really important for me.
Any profesional tip?
Plz share with me. 10s!

I use my computer to surf the net, watch videos on the net etc.
I play simple games on the net or by CD. Nothing heavy or 3d.
Would I really need or see much difference if I bumped my onboard video memory from 64 to 128 meg?

I use XP and have 1 gig of ram. Have Sempron 3100 proocessor.

I've tried ending several processes but not much difference. Could it be due to the McAfee antivirus which i've just installed?
Or is it a virus/infection? pls help...

thx in advance, guys

first and foremost, I wanted thank evryone who replied, I got a message that someone replied with a question, but I couldn't find it. Anyhow, I think it's spyware, I am starting to hear clicks that were not initiated by me and the mail page wouldn't load.
But than again it could be from deleting cookies and temp files.
Also I tried to go to processes and eliminating as much stuff as I can get away with, I ended up accidently turning off the computer. With a little bit of practice I got my page file (mostly keeping the system files) to 270 MB from 350. But I have to keep my comp. on stnd by or redo the prcess every boot. If someone can refer me to file extension dictionary I would gratly apreciate it.

I wanted a clean slate on my computer, so I decided to format my laptop; a Dell Inspiron 6000.

I completely deleted all partitions, and then created one in the empty partition space (so Symantec backup is inaccessible). However, I am not sure which drivers to install to make my computer internet-accessible (ethernet controllers), nor do I know what sound card drivers and graphics/video/display drivers to download so that my computer will function as it was before.

I have a Dell Dimension ResourceCD [contents: Device drivers, Diagnostics and utilities, Computer documentation].
My format CD was a Windows XP Home Edition that came with my desktop computer (a 2400), which is what I used to format my laptop.

Thanks in advance for any help.

My gf was telling me that leaving items pluged into the usb would end up killing my computer faster, so i was wondering would leaving in a usb hub actually have any effect on this?

I've had this 19" LCD monitor for about a year now and starting 2 weeks ago the screen would become garbled up with weird graphics after having it on for about 5 minutes. The connection between the computer and LCD are snug so I don't believe it is a connection issue. I have traced the problem to something in the LCD monitor, but don't know how to fix it.

Sometimes the screen would turn green and have lines streaking all across it erratically. Then after a few seconds, it would return back to normal. Then it would fade to some weird colors again. I'm about ready to toss out that LCD, if it can't be fixed.

I'm guessing it's a hardware failure. A temporary workaround I've been using is to turn off the LCD for a couple of seconds, then turning it back on.

Any ideas?
