I had my dvd drive replaced and now it and my cd rom drive won't work. When I shut down the computer they both show up on the device manager, but if I try to use either one they disappear from the list and won't work. I'm running Windows XP on a HP computer.

My computer has been restarting for the past week and I am wondering what the problem is.
This happens usually when im on the web either watching videos or playing online games. It has never restarted when I play Counter Strike Source or Maple Story.
I recently updated my video card driver, cleaned out my computer of dust and even put on new thermal paste on my cpu heatsink.

I check the heat on my cpu using SpeedFan and it says that my cpu is idle at 69C and Core1,Core2 are at 80C. I am using the stock fan for Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHZ and I have an Nvidia Geforce 7600 GT Video Card.

I have an hp-pavillion 760n and lately its been randomly shutting down. This is just one problem out of many but the most annoying at this point. I ran disc cleanup and defragmentor and that didnt help. I cant restore it to before when it wasnt doing it because System Restore isnt working for an unknown reason. I have errors popping up but invalid pictures or files and this morning once I restarted the computer again... there were a good 20 volume screens up. Thanks very much for any help you can give and just for reading it.

I have dial up service with Earthlink, and I just bought a new Dell Inspiron 1501 computer from Dell. The thing takes about at least over a minute or more to log on to a link or something else while on the internet. This is way way too slow for a computer with duo core technology and a speedy AMD Athlon 64x2 TK 53 processor.
What is happening, and what can be done? My old computer works fine and processes things on the web very fast. Any thoughts on this matter will be appreciated.

Hi I have a Dell Dimension C521 Nvidia Gforce 6150 AMD 64 Processor and I had to wipe my drive clean and rebuild but I am having trouble with my drivers. I installed all but one which is a PCI Device. What is that? And where can I find a driver for it? The Dell website doesn't have it and I've tried Windows Update but no luck. I can't get any sound of it so I'm thinking that's what it is. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I crashed my computer last night and can't even get it to boot up. I keep getting an error message that says that some "explorer.exe" file is missing or something and should be reinstalled to fix problem. Then my wallpaper comes up, but that's it... NO desktop icons or anything. It won't boot at all. I tried to go "restore" going to F10, but it asks for some Administrator Password or something and none of my passwords work. I have no idea what they're talking about.

I would hate to have to reformat my entire hard drive, but even if that was the last resort, I don't think I could do it without being able to boot.

Would it help to try to get to "safe mode"? If so, how would I do that and what do I do once I get there?

Please, someone that actually knows about computers - help! I am running Windows XP Home edition. Thanks. Jeff

Hi guys !

I am planning to build a PC. I searched many forums and sites and discussed with friends etc to find a perfect system configuration for me.

To be honest, I had a difficult time choosing the best manufacturer for each components.. I even posted so many questions in Yahoo answers itself. Many Good guys helped me.

Here is my final configuration :

Intel E6850 Processor
Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi AP Motherboard
1 GB DDR2 (800 Mhz) Memory X 2 (Total 2 GB in dual channel)

XFX Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb XXX edition Graphics Card

160GB Seagate SATA Hard Disk
Sony DVD Writer
LG 17" Monitor

A good Cabinet with good ventilation
PSU 450W or 500W

I personally think that it is a good, Stable, reliable, Durable Configuration which runs at high efficiency with high performance.

What do you think guys? Any suggestions on motherboard or another components? Only after getting reply from at least five people, i will confirm this configuration.

Thanks to Everybody.
Sim

I have a computer that keeps getting BSOD while I'm using the computer. Sometimes while I'm watching youtube videos, my computer crashes to the blue screen forcing me to hit the reset button my computer. This has been happening for about two years now and it's very frustrating because it takes very long for my computer to restart. The message of the blue screen of death is KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR. That's all I have written down but I'll post details as soon as I can.

Pentium 4 3.0 GHz with HT
Nvidia Geforce 6800
768 MB RAM
300 GB hard drive and 80 GB hard drive
