I got my computer (hp) 5 months ago
it was working so good and i had no problems with what so ever
recently I am facing this problem , MY COMPUTER DOESN'T RESTART, no matter how long i wait the windows( vista) doesnt restart.
and sometimes when i shut it down and i try to turn it on again it takes me three to 5 or more times switching on and off to make it work !!
my wireless also doesnt work sometimes !! although it's on and it should be blue light it always gives me a yellow light which means it's switched off !!
i never had these problems b4 ,, i tried formating didnt work i have all the updates nad anti virus and a spay sweeper ! but nothing is working!!

I need a computer that's secure and not as prone to hackers and viruses, ect., that's fast, THAT WILL LAST LONG, not crash, can handle minor business programs, can use media easily, that will have some good support, and can run the internet with no worries or hiccups. I really am considering an iMac, but I'm worried about the freezing a little bit, and it's rather new. I've used Macs before (that's really why I want to switch, I prefer them) but I need to think of the rest of the house, with some business, and of course, security. Macs are secure, for the most part, and I'm planning on putting virus software on it, just in case. But, I need some advice, and no flames on Mac vs Windows. I really need some help, and no, I'm not getting Ubunto/Linux or whatever.

I have a compaq laptop and the touchpad is not fully working. The mouse function is working, but it doesn't scroll when I drag my finger over the "scrolling grooves". what's wrong? Its getting kind of annoying since I'm used to scrolling with the grooves.

The only two programs that have excess amounts of memory are my pictures and Itunes. I don't want to delete my songs or my pics.

Is there any other way besides buying more memory?

Or Buying a Nvidia 8800GT 320MB ?

PS: Please remember that the 8800 is £130, and another 8600 is only £75

Ok so my dad put in the fan just now while i was away and i noticed that the fan that came with my processor is 4 pin and not 3 pin like my current fan. so i see that on the motherboard it has a 4 pin slot that says CPU FAN and a 3 pin slot that says PWR FAN. he put it in the 3 pin PWR FAN slot. is this correct or is there something wrong. thanks for the help.
