I just installed Age of Empires III, right? and when i go to play it, it says that the game requires a 1.4 gHz processor, and i have a 1.0 gHz one. I dont feel thats right, because this computer is too new, and is a Compaq Presario SR1640NX, which supposedly has a 2.2 gHz processor. Here's where it gets weirder. when i go to start->My Computer->rightclick+properties, it says i have a 1.0 gHz processor. But when i go to My Computer->Control Panel->System->Hardware, sometimes it says that i have a 2.2 gHz processor, and sometimes i have a 1.78 gHz processor.

This is far too confusing for my expertise. could someone help?

If I plug a regular usb cable device into my usb ports it will work just fine other then that when I plug my usb memory stick into it it will shut off my computer and if I plug a usb hub into it it will also shut off if I do that as well.

Almost every time I insert a CD or DVD into the DVD combo drive, it restarts my computer. Do you have any ideas what would be the cause of this? I have a custom built computer, AMD Sempron, 80 GB hard drive and 768 RAM. The computer is less than a year old. Any ideas as to the reason and a way to stop this from happening would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the answers.
