I have a 1.3Ghz P4 PC with 256MB Rambus memory, 64MB Ti4200 video. i just recently installed XP Pro on this machine and now the CPU stays constantly at 100%. I have turned off the XP display (changed it to classic) and went into systems properties adjusted for best performance, turned off any most programs into msconfig, ran a virus scan (which turned up no viruses). what else can I do to reduce CPU usage since the PC is almost impossible to use because of freezing? i know more memory would help the situation greatly but I do not want to buy more memory and I know 256MB will run XP somewhat.

The words appear to look like those of a bad head on a printer. Some letters have missing characteristics to them. Is there a way of curing this problem? NOTE: the larger words and letters are in tact and readable.

When I say goes blank I mean the monitor goes black, and there is no sound from anywhere-the tower light is still on and will not go off- I turn off the surge switch and then turn it back on- the tower button goes off-then I can restart. This happens randomly some days 2 times other days it is ok-My puter is a XP about 5 years old-do I need a new tower or could it be the monitor.HELP HELP AND THANK YOU

Hi,

I have the following spec pc that i would like to upgrade (if its worthwhile) to a decent spec for gaming - i am not expecting cutting edge, just good enough to play games.

Windows XP
30GB Harddisc 5800rpm
256MB 133 Memory
1.2Ghz AMD Processor
On Board graphics and sound
CD Rom
CDRW

I was going to start with a new motherboard and go from there but what one do u start with? There are so many. I don't know a good one from a bad one.

I have up to £300 to spend.

I'm building a desktop PC and I need to put enough memory in it to manage whatever I install on it. My goal capacity is 2GB. But I'll settle for anything from 512MB to up to 4GB. As long as I can manage the price. My budget is really low. ($80 - $150)

What website do I go to for that kind of thing???

I'm building a custom computer online and i ran into something odd. The website has the Nvidia Geforce 7900GTX (512mb) for $444 and the Nvidia Geforce 7950GT (512mb) for $290
.....and also the Nvidia Geforce 7950GX2 (1Gb) for $574. ...this one probably costing alot more cuz it has 1 gb mem..(not sure)

so my question is, why is the 7900gtx more costly than the newer 7950gt? and what do you recommend that i buy? is the newest 7950gx2 worth its money? -thanks.

I'm running a Pentium D 840 3.2GHz dual-core CPU in my system, and with the fan that came with it it was running extremely hot, like in the 80's celsius without doing much of anything. SO I got a new fan - a Zalman CNPS7700 all-copper cooler. I'm also using Artic Silver 5. With the fan on max speed, the CPU still gets very hot - with a load, it will rise into the 70's C and start to climb just over 80. I've tried remounting it several times, using different amounts of thermal compound, but still it runs hot. Any suggestions?? Please????

..... it keeps falling behind by an hour or so everyday - what could be causing this? Is this motherboard-related, or what do you think? ... Also, is there anything I can do on my own to remedy the problem? ... Thank you in advance for your help.
