I use XP, my computer will all of a sudden stop. The screen goes black but I can still see the cursor but not move it. I have checked the memory and it showed errors but on second run it showed no errors. I have replaced the motherboard, cpu and hard drive and it still keeps happening. Any ideas?

Could I install a second hard drive as a slave, copy all of my "C" drive to it, then reconfigure it as master and remove my original hard drive? Will it boot?

Do you determine a processor's performance by looking how high it's GHz is? Or do you need to test and compare it yourself? Please help me...Thanks!

Okay I have a Hp desktop computer about three years old and it is truly possessed. It stared a couple months ago I would turn the power strip off at night and in the morning when I wanted to go on the computer I would click the power strip back on but the led button on the tower was blinking on and on and I could not turn the computer on until it stopped blinking, but now it just keeps blinking i mean it was blinking throughout the whole night and even when I woke up this morning it was still blinking so I don't even have a chance to turn it on. If anyone has any info for me it would be great. I am not that computer literate so maybe I am doing something wrong or maybe I should call a priest so they can get the demon out of my tower.

Hi, i'am about to build a computer. I just cannot decide between the dual and single core. I don't think i would ever use both cores. These are the two i'am debating between.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103622
^single core^
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103733
^dual core^
I would be using this as a gaming computer. I also plan to set up a raid 0 or 5. I am kind of on a tight budget. Would a dual core run faster even if i am using just 1. They both have the same cache, and the single has more GHZ. And by the way i would not overclock.
Thanks.

My hard drive is 250Gb. I have it partitioned so that the main drive is (c:)140gb, second is (d:)100gb and backup drive is (e:)10gb
The first 2 are NTFS. The other is FAT32
The other day I noticed that my 100gb partition has just disappeared! My C drive still reads 140gb. I checked in Disk Management and it says 140gb.
What has happened! Can I recover this drive??
Please help. Thanks.

I have a high user knowledge of PC's and some time last year I changed my graphics card to a higher spec ATI Radeon X1600 pro AGP. Recently I transported my PC to my new house and all of a sudden I have no signal being sent to my monitor. I have tried several monitors that I know work so I know it's my PC. The computer boots fine and all the fans are running with no beeps on start up. Could anyone recommend anything?
