I just want to know if theres any issues with the extra RAM being automatically recignized by the opperating program? luckily, the motherboard has an extra expansion slot so its just a drop-in procedure. I also have 5 pci slots and would like some ideas on what cards (sound tv video etc.) would be worth it to try out?

My machine is AMD Athlon ™ 64 3500+ 2.21 GHz, 1GB of RAM and OS is Windows XP Pro SP II. My machine is not very slow but I am thinking how to get better performance by adding hardware. So how much can adding RAM give better performance for this machine?

Laptop dvd drive not working, reads no media (cd,dvd)- just whirs and stops. I thought it was laser maybe so was thinking it needs replacing. Then I hooked up an external drive and the same thing happens! Only the OS cd works in the external drive. Can anyone PLEASE tell me what to do, because not even the manufacturer knows- they tell me to uninstall the drive (NB it is visible in window!l windows from scratch. Surely there is another way? Help please !!!

Webpages should appear instantly but they're always sluggish and like take 5 seconds to load (cable modem). Things on this computer are just really sluggish nowadays. What can I do to fix this? Get things back to the way they should. We have three users, usually only one logged on at a time.

PLEASE do not answer with the usual things like:
Defrag
alt/ctrl/del
msconfig
regedit
running processes
I already know about all this stuff so please don't post it just to get points or I'll report as abuse

Since some time whatever I do on my computer it's getting slower and slower. Even the smallest programs take eternity to start. I can hear how my hard drive is grinding inside. I defragmented the C:\ partiton hoping that will solve the problem but it didn't help. The computer is not that old, just 3 years plus I haven't really install any memory eaters. I do not have Corel nor Photoshop. I don't play games on it. Mostly it is used for work and surfing the web. I do have virus and spyware protection, maybe its just not enough? If this sounds familiar to anyone any advice wolud be appreciated. BTW I know how to recover the system, I am just trying to avoid all this work.

I have 845GV motherboard with 2.4 Ghz Pentium, and a 400 WATT smps. Attached two hard disks each of 80 GB baracauda 7200 rpm. I have windows xp pro in both. Booting occurs from the Primary Master drive, as usual.

It worked fine for 4 months and now lately one hard disk as failed to respond. BIOS detects two hard disks, but "My computer" shows only ONE.

What could be the problem according to you ?

What to do now to get it work again ?

I have a flash drive that has some important files on it that I cannot get to. While I was running scandisk on my computer I had left the flash drive in. scandisk stated that the directory on the c drive was not structured properly and since I was having problems with that computer, I told it to repair the directory. It did and now my files are still there, I just cannot get to them. How can I fix this?
