i belive that is what like such if u catch a virus on your pc or whatever that damages that or whatever. What else can damage your semos? I have no idea if i am saying it right let alone spelling it right. My pc guy that does my pcs said that in our last pc our semoss was damaged. i was just wondering how that gets damaged other then virus's or whatever. Cause i dont think i have had any issues with virus or trojans or whatever cuase the antivirus has caught them all.

I think I understand what it does but I just want to make sure. I have a crappy MDG computer that has 0 working USB ports, something to do with the motherboard. Anyways I have seen I can pick up a USB to PCI adapter for about 20$ so I am wondering if I buy this will it allow me to use USB keyboards/mice or am I completely not understanding it.

I have a Dell Dimension 5150, with a 3.0ghz Intel Pentium D Processor with 2gbs of ram. I recently bought a new graphics card which is the nvidia geforce 7000gs, which im pretty sure will be perfect for vista. the problem is that ive heard vista runs pretty slow on any processor thats not a dual core, could anyone here support this? Will my computer efficiently run windows vista? Any help would be awesome, thanks in advanced

I bought a new computer just under a month ago...an HP desktop. I have a bunch of photos and videos from my digital camera I want to put on my computer, but when I insert the memory card into the tower, it doesn't do anything. Rarely it will actually AutoRun and show my files like its supposed to, but most of the time I can't do anything with it...its like its not there. What's wrong with this stupid computer? Why won't it work?!

I've already tried unistalling the disc thing and re-started the computer and it still does not work, checked for viruses/spyware/etc and nothing.

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"

What should I do? Remove the back of the computer and re-connect the thing?

Help please

I recently purchased a new iMac. All works well, but the spacebar on the keyboard seems to require more pressure, otherwise words tend to run together. Anyone else experienced this?

Ok basically i leave my computer on over night alot and one day i woke up too see it turned off. I went to press the on button and the computer just goes on for 1 second then off again. The lights go on during that time but nothing is displayed on the monitor. Not even a beep sound from the motherboard is made.

My question is should i get a new motherboard ? i fitted a brand new power supply but that didnt help. Thanks for your time

I'm thinking of upgrading my Motherboard and make a large leap from Intel Pentium 4HT to Quad Core. I recall something about MS Windows registering my Windows key with the Processor. So if i get a new processor do i have to jump though hoops with microsoft? I'm working with keys from a MSDN liscense, so i'm liable to be told by microsoft i've got extra keys and just eat it.

80GB HDD
256 MB DDR PC3200 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce MX 4000

Im running XP, and i checked my cpu i have 2 slots for DDR im planning to buy another 256MB---cheap =) is it good or should i just buy a 512 and remove my old 256 MB RAM?

Thanks!
