I upgradded my ram from 1 GB to 2 GB, and I am certain it is working.
Only thing is, nothing's faster!
Nothing loads faster, crysis doesn't have higher FPS, my computer doesn't load up faster, and nothing else is faster.

Would it be better to have 4GB of some slow ram or 2GB of some ram that is twice as fast as the other ram when i think about it, it seems the same to me ...

Before leaving for vacation I unplugged the power strip that had my computer power cords plugged into it. After I cam home from vacation a week later, I plugged in the power strip. Immediatly after I heard a loud crack and sparks came out of the back of my computer tower. Now it won't turn on but my monitor is fine. Has anyone had this happen to them before? Whats wrong with it? Will I lose everything I had saved onto my computer? I really don't wanna have to buy a new computer. Thank you to those who help me.

I want to change my desktop on my computer but I can't get rid of the last desktop. I dowloaded a desktop from my local arena football team and I tried two different ones and parts of both of them are stuck on my computer but I can get another one from the ones that are stored in my computer and they show up fine. Can anyone help me with this problem?

It happened once about a month ago, it shut itself down. I restarted it, then turned it off and didn't think much more of it. Last weekend I was listening to music when everything on my desktop shut down and then the shut down screen came up. I thought it was odd that it told me it was shutting down. I tried restarting it but it just goes on and off, never to the point of fully restarting.
I opened the box and blew all the dust out, and I held down the power button to restart it and it's still having fits. I'm afraid that is the end of my computer expertise.
This computer is a Gateway pc and its 2 years old with Windows XP Home Edition. It hasn't been connected to the internet in about 8 months, but I do use a jump drive that has touched the internet. And I do have current Symantec Anti-virus software, current from 8 months ago.
So...help...please. Is this a simple fix, like maybe a stuck button or cable, or should I take it in...and where is a good place to take it?

I have a dell inspiron 9000 and i just bought call of duty 4. the game's minimum video card requirement is a geforce 6600. I want to know if I'm capable of connecting this video card to my laptop so i can play this game. My laptop is in a different town right now so I'm not sure about the specs. So if anyone could tell me what it'll take to play this game on this laptop, i would be very grateful.

Hello everyone,

Here is the information about my Computer:

(2004) eMachines T2862
Intel Celeron D 330 Processor (2.67GHz)
256K L2 Cache
533MHz FSB
512MB DDR SDRAM
Intel Extreme Graphics 3D (#2) [64MB] (Integrated/Shared Memory)
2 *Available* PCI Slots (No AGP/PCI-Express Slots)

Now, I have been looking around online at places like www.newegg.com and www.tigerdirect.com for Video/Graphic Cards such as ATI Radeon 7000/9000 Series and nVidia GeForce FX Series.

My budget will be in the $50 range and I'm just looking for a card that can do good basic 2D/3D basic/mediocre PC games (ie: Enter the Matrix, NFS: Underground, Driver, Unreal Tournament/Gold) as well as dual-monitors.

**Will PSU Wattage be a Factor?**

I've found several PCI cards less than $50 that consists of 256MB-128MB 64-bit cards that support S-Video, DVI and dual-monitors.

But I don't know what to choose or look for.

What do the experts think?

Thanks for your help, much appreciated

My HP scaner has a copier function.
I have used a real copier and it does not print every little detail. However, when I use my scanner as a copier and print with my inkjet printer, the scanner copies every little detail and the printer prints it as evenly spaced dots. If I used a real copier, it would be white and not dots.
How can I let my scanner behave more like a real copier?
