Desktops - September 2006

My dad has been saying lately that there is a way to turn an ordinary Nintendo system into a computer, but I have no idea where he found it or anything about it.

In the last few days my computer has,

Gone into standby mode while I was moving the mouse. But this time I was able to get it out in a few seconds after I hit the spacebar.

Then it went into standby mode while I was using it and I wasn't unable to get it out no matter what I hit. I then switched it off and back on and still no luck, so then I unplugged the monitor and tightened the conection to the videocard and still no luck. So then I shut the comp down for an hour and then it finally worked.

Then just now when I booted my comp it started without any icons on the screen. My mouse buttons wouldn't do anything but I was able to do crtl+alt+dlt and restart. (I don't know if this has anything to do with the standby thing or not)

I'm using retail WINDOWS XP Home on an AMD duron 1000.

my computer/dvd-rw(e)/eject, and the light flashes on it, but still
will not eject. Ideas ?

TigerDirect has some for 195.00 but right before I ordered it jumped about 75.00...so not them, hah.

Looking to keep it around 195.00 (but less would be better of course).

Thanks in advance!

We've tried everything...so, does anyone have any solution to what this problem is, or how we can fix it? We have Windows XP. We hope to find the problem and fix ourselves before seeking a computer repair shop. Nothing shows up on virus scans, or spyware scans, yet when we go back to the computer after it has gone into screensaver mode, the screen is black, and will not do anything, and when we reboot, up comes the blue screen of death! Is there anything we can do at this point, and what is this coming from??? I would hate to think our computer "crashed", it is just a year-1/2 old. Thanks for any tips.

I need a new computer and have no idea how to shop for one. I'd use it for RPGs, bills, CDs/MP3s, spreadsheets and school work. I'd like one with good graphics that doesn't take a year to get moving (Mine now is slow as molasses). What kind should I get?

Background info to question: First the delivery was delayed, then a new motherboard was needed (it took about a MONTH! before I got the PC back), then a new hard disc… & I’m not even sure it’s working properly now - & their customer service is appalling, I am dreading calling them again -if I can get an answer!

Please let me know what you think of this company.

I have a hard drive with some very expensive software on it that I don't have anymore, the harddrive came out of a Dell pc and i'm trying to install it in my Gateway pc as a slave. Both pc's were running on the Windows XP system. I was told that Windows XP wouldn't allow me to interchange harddrives. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I took it to a local computer shop and the tech installed it as a slave but didn't open it up to see if it worked, luckily I opened it before I left his shop and it wouldn't work so he told me to give him a few days with it. Everytime I call he says he 's working on it, or he trying something new. I never dealt with this guy before, so I'm coming to you for your expertise,Thanks

The "Windows XP" screen comes up for a few seconds followed by a flash of the "Blue screen of death" at which point the computer simply re-boots. I've tried starting in safe mode but it then starts listing loads of System32 files before re-starting. Any ideas?

It doesn't even show up on the hard drive anymore! Just like it never was there!
What's the deal?
My computer is 2/12 years old and it was there when I got it!.. For about 1 year! I even used it!
