When I bought this computer I thought I wouldn't have problems because of the amd 64 processor... I was under the impression that it was more for entertainment.. When I have more than 3 windows open, Itunes, a simple game, and firefox, my music becomes staticy and doesnt play in tune... sometimes every minute my computer freezes for like 10 seconds and then stops.. it keeps doing this... also my burner stopped working... The cd opener thing keeps opening at random times and I have NOOo clue why it does that, I have over 80% of my gigabytes left... i practically dont have anything on my computer... sooo im asking you guys before i take it in to best buy

I am in the market for DDR, I have a PC2100 256 megs already but I am confused as to its density and since both the original machine and assembled Dual Core took it in their stride I wonder if that Dual Core machine actually can take high density.

Upon visual inspection of the aforementioned memory module, it fits extreme high density chip to a tee; the stick has only 4 chips, one side only, no name, not even on the chips or PCB. That guy shoved me this 3 yrs ago knowing I wanted a 256 megs PC2100 for a mobo with KM400.

Hey all,

I have a 60GB hard drive and a 200GB hard drive in my desktop computer and my 60GB is full so I bought a 250GB hard drive to replace it. When I install the 250GB hard drive, the computer won't start up but if I put the 60GB hard drive back in than it will start.

I thought the way around this was with an external hard drive case so I bought that and installed my hard drive but now the power won't start. I have narrowed it down to a power problem because when I unplug the power to the hard drive, the external case lights up but as soon as I plug the power into the hard drive, it automatically shuts down like it's short circuited.

Is this a faulty hard drive or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance. Cheers

HI, I want to upgrade my computer for FS2004 and I want to know if a 3.0-3.6ghz Pentium 4 processor with hyper threading, 1gb ram and a XFX Geforce 6600gt will handle Microsoft flight Sim 2004 on higher graphics settings with smooth gameplay? Should I even bother trying FSX because I have heard it has very bad FPS even on $3000+ systems.

I have an Acer Aspire L310 miniature desktop computer and it has a pre-installed Windows Vista Home Premium. Vista is a great OS and it runs smoothly on my computer. But the games aren't. Vista's way of using too much memory and the known compatibility issues may have been causing it. I was thinking of installing Windows XP with an unused serial number, but I'm not sure if it will make the games faster.

My specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium
250 Hard Disk Space
1 GB RAM (I can still upgrade this up to 2 GB)
Intel Core 2 Duo
Intel 946GZ Graphics Card
DVD-RW drive

What do you think is better to do? Keep Vista, install XP or just upgrade my computer with more memory and/or a compatible external graphics card (if there is one)? Plus, the game I commonly play is GTA: Vice City with Back to the Future 0.2d mod. I hope this little info also helps.

How can I increase the clock speed on my AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Processor, with a maximum clock speed of 2.41GHz?
When I am using my computer the clock speed always seems to be 950-1000MHz, and I want to know how to make it go higher. I know that there's a chance it can overheat and everything, but it seems like it should be fine going a little faster than just 900MHz, if it's capable of 2.41GHz. I was thinking something like 1.5GHz. Do you think that would be ok, and can you tell me how to do it?

Thanks for the help,
Matt

1.) I have 512 MB of RAM physically installed on my computer. Yet the system diagnostics only show me as having 504 MB. What is making those other 8 MB unavailable, and how can I change that?

2.) My computer is a pre-built Compaq Presario SR1250NX, and apparently I don't have a video card per se, but some kind of built-in Intel chipset. It's the Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset, specifically. I can't seem to find any way of analyzing or comparing this video chip to known real video cards, such as NVIDIA. What I want to know is how to determine, based on this mysterious video chipset that I have, whether or not my computer meets the requirements for various games. The game's requirements will say something like, "ATI X800 series, Nvidia GeForce 6800 series, or higher video card." How can I determine my chipset's equivalency with these standard cards?
