computer purchase

2007-07-20 23:01:34 · 5 answers · asked by K R M 1

I have always wanted to change the discs and pads on my peugeot because they are now at the stage where they are worn and need replaced. I normally take it to the garage but the cheapest quote that i can get for changing them is £400 supplied and fitted where as i can get the parts for only £120. I can normally do this kind of stuff without much hassle but i like to backup of instructions incase it goes wrong. Are there any mechanics out there who can give me step by step on how to do this or point me in the direction of a rescource which can help me. How easy would you say it was 10 being hardest 1 the easiest, All help much appreciated.

I just got this old computer from my uncle and i believe it's 6-8 year olds.... i don't know what kind of motherboard it has but as right now, it is supporting Pentium 4 cpu with 1.60GHz, and it has 256MB of RAM (still have 3 more slot to put in)... How do i check if this computer can support a stronger cpu, ram, or video card? I wanna put maybe a 3.0GHz, and maybe 1gb ram, and 256mb video card.

So I've with through an insane amount of work troubling with this problem..I've make some steps in the right direction but haven't come up with a total fix. I'm burning dvd's using Nero 7 Ultra, purchased in hopes of fixing my continual "burn failed" mesage.

1st - I figured it was my software so I upgraded Nero to the newest, 'most expensive' version (NO HELP)
2nd - I figured I had viruses or software malfunctioning of some sort so i did a "PC Restore", which is basically reformatting the whole thing. (Actually slowed down the computer a bit, but NO HELP)
3rd - I called Dell and told them my DVD Burner was jacked up...and 5 hours later..they agreed and sent a fella to put in a new one!

The last solution helped..I'm 1/2 when burning, but it's ridiculously slow...an hour per DVD..that is, if it doesn't die out at 4%. That would be fine, BUT it used to burn in 20 minutes tops, with ZERO burns failed. What's up?! Any advice other than what I've already done would be appriciated!!

The computer keeps telling me that it finds no OS on any disk even when I start it up with the OS disk in the drive.

I have tried it with dos boot disk and windows boot disk but keep getting the same message. I got into the bios and the C drive is the third in line to start.

I have 2 SATA hard drives and they both have heaps of errors in the event viewer.
The PC frequently turns itself off, freezes, and is very slow on the internet. It wasn't like this when I first set it up. I do use a fileshare program but I am going to stop as soon as I fix whatever is wrong.
One of the drives is not being seen by BIOS, I have asked about this on answers before but got no help.
What I want to do is back up all data onto one drive and then format the other and then use it as my system drive, but if there is errors on it, will they still be there after the format?
I have done virus scans and they all come up clean. The drives are in SATA ports 1 and 2, its the drive in port 2 that is not recognised but I can still use it in windows. If there is any more information that would help, ask for more details.
Thanks..

It says that there is a AMD Xilleon HDTV integrated encoder which would "provide high quality analog tv output". But I don't understand how it could do that. I know there is no actual cable jack on the card but could the cable have a adapter to make it DVI?

I am thinking of buying a computer for my dorms. Which is the cheapest kind and where do I find 'em. Any 'back to school offer' from Circuit City or Radioshack? I already have a keyboard and a mouse. All I need is a monitor and PC (desktop, half, full whatev).
How much do you think it'll all cost? Any websites on finding cheap parts etc?
