Desktops - December 2006

For some reason, when I'm trying to check my e-mail or something like that my computer freezes up. I don't know why or what's causing it, but how do I make it stop?

I have a HP Pavilion PC package which had 256MB RAM originally, I upgraded this to 512MB by adding another 256MB stick. Is it worth me replacing the 2x 256MB sticks with 2x 512MB or possibly 2x 1GB sticks??? Would it make my PC run faster or would I need to upgarde the processor aswell? It has an Intel Celeron 2.8Ghz processor.

I intend to buy a new motherboard for my pc. Is it possible to retain my currently installed operating system, or need to install a new os because of the new motherboard? Thanx for your help.

Is it safe to leave it on 24/7 or should it be switched off regularly? I have heard so many conflicting versions, would be grateful for advice. Thanks.

I've been thinking about building a computer and while I was looking at processors, I've come across something called OEM. What does it mean?

When I plug my PC into the wall (before I even try to turn it on) the fans come and the CD LEDs blink fast. Then I try to turn it on and nothing. I've held the power button for 40 sec and it won't turn on or off. The motherboard is a DFI NFII 400-AL. The two LEDs on the motherboard blinking are the Standby Power and DRAM Power. I download the manual and it says what they mean when on solid, but nothing about when they are blinking. I tried a second power supply (not a sufficiant wattage) to make sure it wasn't some kind of short, and the same thing happens. Any ideas what could be making this happen?

How much do you think I could get for it? It is still a good computer and it works perfectly fine.

Is it possible to sync your pc (windows) with your mac so that whenever a change is made to a certain folder on the windows platform that it is copied over to the mac. Almost virtualizing a backup HD system.

I dont know if it is possible but it would be a HUGE help because I am always updating my photos, mp3s, and videos on my PC and would love to have that same data present on my macbook and not have to worry about always sending it over.

Any help guys? Thanks!

I know there is some kind of comand you can do when your computer is starting up to format it, but I forgot what it was.. It was something like shift+delete..

I have a desktop with original Intel motherboard- model number D101GGC. The specifications say that it supports both DDR 333 and DDR 400. The actual text written on Intel website for this motherboard is “Support for DDR 400 MHz and DDR 333 MHz DIMMs”. Currently I have DDR 333 memory [512 MB] in one slot [out of the two available]. I want to know can I put a 1 GB or 512 MB DDR 400 MHz RAM chip in the second slot? If yes, will there be some performance gain due to the higher speed of second memory (I mean more than had if used 1 GB or 512 MB of DDR 333 MHz in second slot too). Or will the 400 memory be forced to run slower- at 333 MHz?

I have run virus scan and spyware scans, both of which came up clean. I set folder options to show hidden files.

Also, when I check the drive's properties, it still says 100gigs are in use, so the files seem to be still there, yet I cannot access or see them.

I am running Windows XP.
