I have a Compaq Presario SR1817CL Window XP sp2 Desktop PC, AMD Athlon 64, 3200+, 994MHz, with 2.43 GB Ram. and 1 PCI Express x16 slot, Max. output wattage:
300W. 200 GB HD. ATI Radeon Xpress 200 integrated graphic card.
I want to upgrade to a better graphic card. I found one. The NVIDIA
8500 GT 512MB PCIe by PNY. Sounds ok, but can anyone advise me on the best card that’ll work within the limited 300watt power supply? Or is this the one I should go with?
I tried my old Radeon X1300 with little improvement.

My laptop shuts off periodically. I would like to know how to see the real time temperature of my laptop? What settings show the temp and what are the fins (3 total) start/stop temperature setting? Are there any good free programs that can show the temperature and can modifications be made to avoid this problem in the future? The laptop in question is a HP 17" laptop with windows xp software and 1 gig of ram memory. Thanks

Ive never built a comp before and have had some help from a friend who now isn't returning my messages for help.
I've put all the parts together, plugged in the comp and press the button, it turns on but the screen stays blank, or turns itself off when the comp goes on.
Also the cd drive won't open when i press the button (is this the cd drive or some other problem)
Any suggestions about the problems and how to fix?
I don't remember the specs for my comp but the screen is quite old, I'm using my brothers old one till I can afford and LCD.

I have just tried to load Win Xp on a new hard drive. It goes through all the usual stuff; F6, Press 'S' then loads the additional drivers from the A drive.
Windows starts to load and looks OK it gets down to what must be the final restart, goes throught the POST ok, onto the MS XP window loading screen then comes up with a blue screen saying....
Technical Information ***STOP: 0X0000007B ()XF789E63C, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)
What exactly does this mean?
I've tried the MS website but don't seem to get much luck there!

I think I've been loading the correct drivers, I got them from the motherboard website. (Just a thought: Is it the motherboard or Hard Drive drivers I should be adding?)

I'm going out my mind.
Can anyone help?
Thanx in advance

I suspect it's because of my computer's video card or video / display settings. But my laptop is still running. It did not hang. I know it is still running because my hard disk and processor is up. Only the laptop monitor encountered an error.

My laptop is only 1-week old. I recently installed all video drivers 5 days ago.

I will really appreciate if you can help me with this. Thanks.

I have Compaq Presario C509NR laptop and it came up with Windows Vista. It has 1.86 Ghz processor and 512Mb RAM. The laptop is too slow.

To get it faster, i have 2 opinions. Which is better?

1.) get the windows XP on it.
2.) Upgrade the RAM and use the same Windows Vista on it.


Which is better and why??

I need to up my display memory and I heard you can do it using BIOS. I found the BIOS page but where do I go to change the memory?

No "Just buy a new graphics card" answers! If I see one of those I will know you didn't pay attention and you will receive a thumps-down! You have been warned . . .

My computer is saying the hard drive is nearly full and it can't run programs because there's not enough space available (it says the C: drive is 96% full). The computer is a Sony VAIO desktop running Windows XP with a 120GB hard drive but the C: drive says its capacity is only 14GB. The D: drive is virtually empty and seems to have the remainder of the hard drive space (it says around 110 GB).

Is there a way to allocate more space to the C: drive?
