I just recently installed Windows Vista on my Hp pc that i bought a few months back for quite alot: about 1800 BUCKS. Well after installing Vista i encountered many bugs and problems and did not want it so now i am trying to renistall Xp but i do not know how. I do not have the Windows Xp cd, my pc did not come with it so usually if i had a problem i could have used system recovery to renistall windows Xp but it wont work with Vista. Also i have created a partition before installing Vista but it had deleted everything including my Xp files on another partition . So when i used System recovery it put all the files of Xp back to the second partition and i do not how to boot into them. What to do now?

Since it may be possible to restore files that have been removed from the recycle bin, where did these files go? They must still be on the hard disk somewhere!

My CPU fan is really load, how can i quiet it down?!?

The CPU temperature seems to be fine (~40 Celcius or slightly higher when I am really using it).
I tried using a program called SpeedFan, but it cannot control the fan speed.
I tried the options in the bios, and I enabled speed control (wasn't sure about "start" and "pwm" values, so I left them at their defaults of 40 and 50.

I am using a P4M800Pro-M (v2.) motherboard, an Intel Core 2 Duo e6300 CPU, and a Termaltake TR2 M21 RX cpu fan. Running Vista Premium 32-bit on my PC.

Any computer geniuses out there that might have an answer for me?

My computer is freakin loud.

I know it's the fan, and plan on replacing it.


Is it the case fan or the power supply fan? The case fan is the one I think is making all the noise. The case fan is indeed the one on the very back that is rather large, correct?


Any tips for instalation or what kind of fan to buy?

It wouldn't allow access to the internet or other programs when I clicked on its icon. Well, I was playing around and hit the systems recovery, it erased all of my info off my computer. It started everything over as if I had just bought it. I had downloaded music and documents that I needed. Is there anyway that I can get this info back. What did I do wrong? What should I do in the future?

I'm running an Asus p5p800 motherboard with socket775 and a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz processor. Graphics board is Radeon 9250 128Mb. Monitor is a Samsung syncmaster 151s. Wrote to AMD customer support who advised updating the BIOS and graphics drivers and fiddling with refresh rates. This now done it still happens. Also reseated the graphics board in case of poor connections. Thinking maybe my graphics board is needing replaced but appreciate any other pointers. Had heard that this Radeon model is inherently unstable too?

In the specs for some computers, it says "up to 128MB Shared Memory" for video card. I am not sure what the "up to" is referring to.

About 3 weeks ago our monitor went haywire (faulty colors)...I checked it through my laptop and it was fine though. Now it won't show anything, and hooking up another monitor to this computer shows nothingas well. I figured it was the video card going since the green light on the computer shows up. I don't hear anything through my speakers though on start up. Could it be the motherboard? Could it be the video card? We were just about to transfer some files (PC Relocator) to a brand new computer but I can't see to do anything...what do I do? It's more family pictues that I want to save than anything, and some other programs.

How much fast/better would be a PC with Pentium4 2.8 MHz 4MB cache processor than a PC with Pentium4 2.8 MHz 2MB cache processor, assuming that the remaining specs are same.
(I have to pay only £30 more for everything same but a processor with 4MB cache instead of 2MB)
Professional opinion required

Thanks in Advance
