Every time I turn on my pc,nothing responds and most of the time even the icons don't show up.I have to log off by bringing the taskmanager(alt+ctrl+del is the only thing that gets any response at this time)and log in again to make the pc function.I have formatted my disk and installed a new win xp,have scanned my hard drive with anti viruses but nothing seems to work.

I needed to totally wipe their hard drive. After I was finished they told me that they didn't have any sort of back up disk or disks for their device drivers. The devices listed in the device manager as having no drivers are:

Multimedia audio controller
PCI simple communications controller
SM bus controller
Video Controller (VGA compatable)

Anyone have any ideas as to where I can find drivers?

They have no documentation for their computer either so I have nothing other than the computer tower and a copy of windows xp.

Im looking to buy a new gaming rig and I want to know what would be the cheapest store (or store to buy the parts and custom build) to get it from.

Case: 420w or more power supply

Motherboard: Holds atleast 8gb of RAM, can crossfire/sli, can hold pci-e videocards

Processor: Intel dual core 2 e6400/ Athlon 64 x2 4800-5000

Processor cooling: whatever you recommend that isn't extremely expensive.

RAM: 2 GB decent quality

Video: ATI Radeon x1900XTX\ nvidia equivalent

Hard Drive: 160 gb preferably more is fine.

Sound Card: dont really give a crap as long as it works

monitor: none

Periphials: nothing

ibuypower.com is the cheapest I could find for this, but please let me know if you know of anything cheaper!

I recently upgraded to a Core 2 Duo in my desktop, and I'd love to add a new video card, but I heard that Vista will support DirectX 10, and that it's rather pointless to buy a card right now. When will the new ones comes out from NVidia and ATI? October maybe? Or Xmas?

MY cd-rom is jamming. I can't get into the tray to put in a cd and play music. The PC keeps askilng for the file: F:\enuk\drivers\win2k_xp whenever it is turned on. I did a test on my PC and the results were that my Lucent Win Modem failed. It asked for me to to put in the start up cd in it but, my husband put the PC together and he nor I can find the cd. I tried to find one on the internet to download but couldn't.

My modem keeps freezing and at all times of the night the pc makes strange noises. I think that someone is trying to get into the computer, but my husband doesn't. He thinks we have a virus. We have a virus scan on our PC.

go up and down. Now they don't. I know it may sound stupid and a very small problem, but in the past when things ended up changing on my computer, it was virus related so I'm not going to overlook it just because it's nothing major. Doe anyone know why this would happen? Usually the word Volume or Vol. (I forget which) would pop up and then if I lowered the volume the lines would disappear one by one, or if I raised the volume more lines would appear. Now I don't see anything even though I'm changing the volume. It was fine yesterday but now, not so much. Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks.

It happens almost all the time now. I'll move my pointer and it jumps to the edge of the screen, but then it's normal for the next couple of moves. Does the mouse need to be replaced? Or is it a software issue?

Scroll wheel works fine and so does clicking.

Hi, i'm upgrading my computer and i bought an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and an Intel P965LTCK motherboard.
I'm making my friend install the new hardware but he's been installing Pentium 4s and pentium Ds and has never seen a Core 2 Duo. Is it the same installation or Core 2 Duo needs new knowledge?
Do I need to upgrade something else?
