Desktops - December 2007

My brother and I are sharing a computer. There are times that the system runs okay but most of the times its slow thus my brother always ended up in shutting it down "improperly" and I know that's not good for the computer, but he always denies it! I just want to know if there's a way to check whether the computer has been properly shutdown or not? Thank you.

I recently ordered a set of CD's, but they do not seem to recover the computer. I've been told I may have the wrong set. I got 11 recovery cd's, does that sound right? When I run them, either they fail to partition the drive, or they start a recovery process, but can't read some of the files on the CD's (and by some I mean most). Hp support is a complete bust. Can anyone help?
Thanks

put it into mine so that I can partition it? A friend installed a brand new out of the box hard drive, but his cd-rom drive doesn't seem to be reading his drivers disk. I slid the disk into MY computer's cd-rom drive and it worked. So, is it possible to take out his hard drive and install it into my computer just so it could read the disk and also install an OS on it?

Besides 100 dollars, that is.

I'm a mostly casual gamer - I don't care about having the best of the best, but if it's definitely worth the extra money, I don't mind getting it.

Though I'd rather buy a monitor that's a few inches bigger with that money. :)

Please help me! I just bought a desktop for the first time (I always had laptops before) and I cannot turn up the volume! The buttons on neither the keyboard nor the computer itself are working, and I am getting NO SOUND! Do I need speakers, or does the computer have built-in volume like a laptop? Please help me, I want to get this done ASAP!
