im hoping to get a pretty reasonable desktop computer working with a budget of maybe 1.5-1.8K (aus) ...

(at the moment, my laptop is the laggiest of laggers.. i put a dvd in AND IT LAGS, even though it would be the only window open.. for crying out loud, i put a cd in, A CD! AND IT LAGS! ...)

i dont mind getting it custom built, but i need help with hardware specs so i dont end up paying for stuff i wouldnt really need.

- im not a fulltime hardcore gamer, only occasionally.. well maybe i would be a lil hardcore were it not for my laggy comp.. i think i'll play sims 2 often =]
- i usually listen to music while im doing stuff
- i more than often have 3 or more windows open simultaneously
- i want to watch/edit/burn vids/mulitmedia/pics without it lagging
- i multitask heaps ..
-i like things fast..
-i wouldnt want the cpu to sound like a lawnmower..
-it would be nice if the comp was sexy, but i need it to be a rocket =]

advice would be cool =] ty

So I just got a new video card and now whenever i play any type of video game the computer gives me the blue screen of death.

Otherwise the computer acts normally.

winxpsp2
2gb ram
amd x2 64
soundblaster

I am thinking its ram, but not sure. could it be the ram on the motherboard or the graphic card?

I just reinstalled Windows XP SP2 into my computer, with the recovery CD to get rid of all the misc processes that I don't need. However, when I did that, all my USB 2.0 Ports became USB 1.1s As in It says USB 2.0, but when i plug it in, the message "You can do stuff faster with a USB 2.0 Port. Click Here to see what USB 2.0 Ports you have" HELP THX

hi, i want to play the latest games and such but i've read up on the 8800gt and i have found out it can get really hot. i don't really wana change the stock fan that comes with it myself as i'm not really good at computers and i'm afraid i would void the warranty accidentally. Any other good graphics cards to recommend? like maybe the second best?

Hey, I wanted a lot of shortcuts on my desktop, so I directly opened the start menu and dragged them onto the desktop. Now I want all of the shortcuts on my desktop gone, but put back into the start menu. However, I don't know how to get all of the icons back onto the start menu, under the All Programs list with the folders. (I run Windows Vista, by the way, so I can't use the method for this on Windows XP.)

I have a 3800+ singlecore 939 with 2x512mb DDR sticks (one 2100, other 3200) resulting to run at a ddr2100 speed which is the slowest speed for DDR. I am thinking of getting a gig stick of ddr memory. Doubling my ram speed will of course make a difference in speed. Also, i am planning on upgrading to a dualcore as well, a 4000++ dualcore. Instead of spending around $40-60 on another stick of old ram or $100-200 on a new soc 939 cpu, i was thinking of getting a new mobo, cpu, ram all together, since modern computer components are very cheap at the moment and also are definitely faster! Those AM2 processors are very cheap, i can't believe my eyes, also a gig stick of DDR2 memory is only $25! About half the price of normal DDR memory.

However i am broke at the moment, so would it be a good idea to just buy another stick of ddr ram only? Or should i just wait it out and build a new computer all together later on?

Model: HP m7470n XP Media Center Edition

My PC won't load at all, no even to the BIOS screen. It will say "No VGA Input" or something on the monitor, then "Recommended settings: 1024x748 60MHz"

The PC beep code is a 1 second beep, then another 1 second beep after a half a second pause. I don't know what that error code is for anymore.

I've tried powering up with only the power supply cord in, but it still won't boot.

Thanks for any help/suggestions!

my computer/monitor has problems turning on.
i have a custom built computer. specs:
amd64 3800 x2 am2 65w
GIGABYTE GA-M55plus-S3G AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Mobo
GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI-e x16
500w apevia power supply
CORSAIR XMS2 (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
1 dvdrom
1 dvd+/- R with lightscribe
no floppy
30gig ide harddrive with windows xp pro
120 gig ide for data
500 gig sata for data

every time i turn on the computer, the dvdrom drives will spinclick with or without any cd/dvd inside it and until it stops clicking, the monitor will either turn on or it doesnt. if i'm lucky, it'll click a couple of times then the monitor will turn on. if it doesnt, i have to re-seat the video card and try again until there is video on the monitor. monitor works fine cuz i replaced it twice. i'm not sure how to fix this. sometimes it'll work right off the bat without re-seating the video, sometimes it'll take 1-50 times.
