i check the event viewer after a system crash and it comes up with bugcheck 0x1000008e. it shuts down and restarts, no blue screen of death. it randomly happens and sometimes it will crash after it rebooted from a crash. It started about 5 months ago, after having it for 2 months and it is brand new.

any ideas on what the problem could be and any solutions? im not that keen on re-installing windows xp.

I am looking into buying some memory for my computer

After looking up the memory specs for my motherboard, it says my motherboard has "2 x 240-pin DIMM sockets support non-ECC 400/533 MHZ DDR2 memory modules"

Can someone explain this to me. At first I thought I only needed to look for memory with 240 pin discription but now Im not so sure.

If you know a better desktop can you recommend any other suggestions that are around the same price as the one above that may be a better choice? Thank.

Keeps coming on when I have internet explorer open or a few programs on. And it stays on. Even when starting up it goes on and then goes off when computer boots to desktop screen. Then I open a program or 2 and it comes on.

I opened the case, cleaned the whole inside out, took the fan out, cleaned that. I noticied one of the clamps that keeps the fan on in place was broken off. But its still pretty snug on the processor. It has this thermal glue also, could it be that it needs more thermal glue? Could I possibly need a new fan?

I have a mac desktop computer and just recently tried to install the new "Leopard". It wouldn't work on my computer so it told me if I wanted to quit, I'd have to restart. I restarted my computer and all I get is the small circle with the thing going around and around, under the apple logo. I don't know how to take the Leopard Install disk out during this or how to get my computer to start. Please help.

Ok, so here's what happened...
I downloaded something on my computer and I made the mistake of downloading all its components on my desktop instead of an appropriate folder. So anyway, I deleted all the items from that software on my desktop but I think that I may have deleted a few things I wasn't suppose to in the process because when I turned on my computer today certain files were missing.

I tried "Recuva" already to try to get my erased files back but that program only covers C:/ and D:/ drives whereas my files were on my desktop! How can I get my files back? Please help, they were for school.

I purchased a used Desktop PC with the following Specs:

• Operating System: MS Windows XP Home
• Processor Name: Pentium 4
• Processor Speed: 2.4GHz
• RAM: 512 MB (266MHz)
• Mother Board: MSI Socket 478 (http://www.tbreak.com/reviews/printpage.php?id=249)
• Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 6200 256mb 8x AGP
• Storage Capacity: 80 GB
• Networking Options: 802.11a/g
• Primary Optical Drive: DVD-Burner
• Secondary Optical Drive: DVD-ROM
• Case with 450 power supply

I checked the computer before I paid for it and everything seemed to be fine with the exception of the DVD Burner which was not working. I changed the DVD burner with a Cd burner and Re booted the computer. I also upgraded the ram from 512 MB (266MHz) to 2 X 512 MB (400MHz) i.e. 1 GB Ram. After I did these modifications, the DVD-ROM no longer read DVD’s only CD’s (I think I need to put the DVD-ROM as the primary and the CD-Burner as secondary) and the computer seems to be running at the same speed even though I upgraded to 1GB (2 X 512 MB (400MHz) ram and changed the 512 MB (266MHz). Windows takes as much 4 - 5 minutes to load and I do not have any programs installed on windows except Nero. Running any program takes a while to load (i.e. Windows Explorer, Windows media Player etc.). I also tried to install a game (Need for speed underground) and it is also running very slow. What I would like to know is why my laptop, which has a slower processor, less RAM, a smaller hard drive, and many more programs installed on it, run faster than this desktop computer (windows loads in under 2 minutes and programs launch very quickly).

The following are the Specs for my laptop (a Dell Inspiron B130):

• Operating System: MS Windows XP Home
• Processor Name: Intel Celeron M 420
• Processor Speed: 1.6 GHz
• RAM: 512 MB
• Weight: 6.3 lb
• Screen Size: 14.1 inches
• Graphics Card: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 GM
• Storage Capacity: 40 GB
• Networking Options: 802.11a/g
• Primary Optical Drive: DVD-ROM/CD-RW

I ran a diagnostics on my desktop computer and it seems to be functioning properly. Ram is reading as 1024 MB, Processor is reading as “Pentium 4, 2.26GHz”. I also ran Direct X 9 and the Ram it is reading as 1024 MB RAM, Processor is reading as “Pentium 4, 2.26GHz” and the Graphics Card is reading at 256mb.
