I install Windows XP Service Pack 2 and restart the computer, but the computer stops responding and will not start. The computer will not start in Safe Mode either.

Hi there
Our normal PC guy is no longer supply computers and I dont know where to start! We use the computer daily for internet, msn and gaming, we also put pics on there too and small business use (wordprocessing and spreadhseets). I am totally confused with Dual core, SATA, GB's MB's etc etc. Can anybody give me some good advice. We already have a printer and want to keep the old computer too, but want a flat screen, better speakers etc. Please be kind and give advice in English and not computer Jargon. Thanking you in advance.
Joanne

It can be working fine one minute, speed okay and you don't have to be on the internet and it will freeze for no reason - it gets very annoying when you have to start it up all over again, and especially if you are in the middle of typing up a document!!!

My computer boots up normally and then goes for approximately 10/15 mins (if i am lucky). The case fan and CPU fan both turm off and the cpu gets hotter. Eventually the computer just turns off presumably because its too hot, does anyone know why and how to fix it? I have replaced the fans and PSU already but neither have any effect.

Voltage Values
CPU Core 1.68 V
+3.3 V 3.20 V
+5 V 5.08 V
+12 V 11.67 V
-12 V -11.29 V
-5 V -5.15 V
+5 V Standby 5.12 V
VBAT Battery 3.66 V


I am mainly concerned because i "made" this PSU with a friend of mine which means i put my own silent fans instead of the default ones and cut what we did not need and added what there was a need for.

The thing is that after 1.5years my computer is starting to act up weird occasionally. It just freezes and I have to reset.
There is no set time on when it freezes, it just does whenever it feels like but never manages to stay on for more than 2 days.
Maybe its time to get a proper PSU?


The temps are quite cool.

It's an Athlon 2.2 Ghz dual processor with 1024 GB RAM and a Radeon X1650 graphics card. The guy at the computer shop assured me it would run my sims 2 and settlers games. So far so good, but the sims is still a bit slow. At least it doesn't crash anymore. BTW, getting to grips with Vista was quite an ordeal and reloading all my software like giving birth to a new baby. But it's just about done!

I have a HP Pavilion a6000n and on the specification, it says, 'NVIDIA GeFoce 6150 SE Graphics with TurboCache with 128MB dedicated graphics memory'. When they say '128MB dedicated graphics memory, do they mean that 128MB of my memory from the RAM stick is all dedicated to my on-board(yes, it is on-board) graphics port? If I buy a seperate NOT on-board video card that is 128MB or 256MB, how much different will that make to my PC's performance?

Currently I have a Mac OS X verison 10.3.9 on a 500 MHz PowerPC G3. I want to upgrade to a Mac OS X Leopard, but for that to happen, Leopard requires a computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or a PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster). What the best and least expensive way to get this update? Thank You SO much! Your advice is greatly appreciated!

I bought the Leopard OS X for my Mac, but the CD drive doesn't seem to load it. It also fails to read (no error messages) certain DVDs -- but not others. Is it my drive? Is there anything I can do?

I have 256mb of RAM and I use photoshop. I design large posters which makes it slow.

How much RAM do I need to make the computer keep up with me? I have multiple software running at the same time.

I want to add some RAM, and want to know how much I've got and how many unused slots I have available. Going to control panel and device manager doesn't help. Maybe I'm looking right at it in device manager, but it doesn't explicitly name the chips that provide RAM.

I have an older Gateway w/ 1.8 GHz Pentium 4.

I welcome any advice.
