I have only $800.00 total to spend on a system. I will be using it for internet, gaming, photos and music downloads, and office stuff. Can anyone advise on where I can find a system that will work with all I want to do with it at that price?

This totally confused me,i built a amd3200+,384mb ddr ram,80gb hard drive,ge-force fx5500
this worked well until two days ago when it refussed to boot,i tried everything but i put it down to a motherboard failure,it was a 2nd hand socket A board so i thought i would get another socket A mobo from ebay and transfer the processor
however just before i was going to take the processor out (and dismantle it)i thought i would try booting it up one last time,and guess what,it booted up no problem
sp everything is fine now,but for one thing..if i leave it off for say"24 hours" ,when i try to boot it,it will start up for around 5 seconds and go off,this will happen for around 6 times(all this time there is no life from the monitor,i.e the light will stay orange on the 17"crt ),and around the 7th attempt the monitor will go green and the p.c will boot
what is stopping this from booting first time,i reckon its a hardware problem,but what do you reckon?

I have cleaned the interior of my computer by blowing the dust and lint off, and it still does the same thing. Its an HP Pavilion. When it turns itself on, the HP Invent BlueScreen comes on and then it shuts off. It will do it again for a couple of times and shuts itself off. I cannot use the power button on the front. If I unplug it from the back and plug it back in, it will cycle and do the same thing.

I have a hp computer but the motherboaed died. I bought a compaq motherboard. Since hp and compaq are together, I figured I could use my hp pavilion recovery disk, but I can't. It says it's only for hp computers. Is there anyway around it to install it?

My computer keeps turning itself on and off. I dont even get to the window page and it will turn off. It will do this 3 - 4 times and then just shut off. After about 5 minutes, it does the same thing again. Can someone please shed some light on this?

Thanks.

I just bought a new desktop computer. I still have my old one but I keep it downstairs for the kids to use. That one would get dusty and dirty on the keyboard and between the keys. And the screen would get dusty sometimes. I don't want that happening to this new computer. So, is there like Dust Cover's or or anything I can keep on the keyboard from getting dusty. It has to be one where I can still type and things. And to keep the screen clean, do I just use like a wet towel or a duster? Everytime I wipe the screen, it get's right back dirty

If you could just explain in moderate detail what you think it is. I speak computer Jargen pretty well, so no need to be too specific. I just wonder what is causing it. It is when I am playing World of Warcraft, by the way. When I run into a heavily populated area.
