I purchased a Dell notebook about a year ago and already I have gotten a message that the battery can no longer provide sufficient power and must be replaced. I haven't done any unusual things with the computer and one of my friends bought the exact same laptop about six months before I did and has not had this message. Is this abnormal for a computer battery? Why would it have depleted so quickly?

I broke the original driver disc that came with my laptop, and I've tried every driver I could find, off of driverguide, ati's website, tried the omega drivers, but no matter what, Everytime I play a game, the graphics will stop working, and I get strange lines on my screen. I'm a PC tech, so I know what I'm doing, but if anyone has a similar problem, and found drivers, or may have a disc, it would be great. My laptop is an Asus Z80K, and I've tried their drivers too.

most of the time i use my laptop on my bed-i know the processor must be well ventilated so as to prevent overheating.this one is ok for me-the processor is 100% cool

my problem is the hard disk.does it matter if it gets too much overheated?
its a SATA 5400rpm 80 gb harddrive

I watch alot of episodes of shows online, so it should be able to handle that. I don't want to spend too much, maybe under 1200 unless you're SURE it's a great model that'll last a long time. I dont want a mac, because I dont understand them. Something easy to use prefferably, that doesn't delay and wont crash if I have 10 windows open! :] thanks so much.

I didn't hear any frying or zapping. I also tried to turn it on (bad choice) after I spilled the water on it, but it didn't boot up. I now have the batteries removed, and it's not connected to a power source. What do I do?

has anyone really had a fan in their laptop die on them? my presario r3360 has a rear fan that runs constantly BY DESIGN (this is normal). i'm curious to whether failing fans are a common thing. do they tend to burn out? this is a 2" fan. thanks!

BTW, i blow the dust out and off of the fans twice a week.

My grandmother has just told me that she is going to take me to get a replacement for my laptop (many things wrong with the old one, stemming from the fact that it was second hand). She is expecting me to know what to ask about, good brands, etc., but I know literally nothing about computers, not even what's good or bad as far as memory, hard drive space, capabilities, brand name, or anything! I'm in my second year of college studying to be a teacher. I don't play MMORPGs or any other computer games that have offline componants, and the internet is too slow at school to download much of anything, so that's not important to me. I know that I don't want a MAC. I am going to use this computer mainly for writing papers, going online, editing and storing my digital photographs, and listening to and burning CDs. Since someone else is buying this, I would like the cost to be as low as possible. Can someone tell me a range of what I need for memory, etc. and/or recommend a few products? Thx!

Mainly for school, but I will also be playing World of Warcraft on it. Not really into any other games. Ive decided to get a dedicated video card, but Im not sure which processer to go with. AMD 64 x2 or Intel core2 duo ?
Please be specific when answering why I should go with one or the other. Thanks.
