My computer is acting strange, it keeps turning off alot and very shortly after I turn it on, sometimes it wont turn on at all. I checked my fan, it is clear however my heat sync is boiling hot, and so is my processor chip which is covered with chalky white residue. It's too hot to touch. What has happened? :S

thanks in adv

My spacebar isn't working right, you have to push down really hard and it's slow coming back up.

I decided to fry my motherboard (!) and so needed a new one. I installed an ASROCK P4i65G with my original Radeon 9550 card. I added an extra 512MB ram, and have installed all the latest drivers/updates etc etc after re-installing XP with SP2.

Has anyone any ideas why it is running soooooo slowly? It was fine with my older mobo.

Thanks for any help!

I'm a computer programmer, not a techie, but my current job now requires me to know a little more about the innards of computers and I KNOW there's lots of you out there that could help shine some light on these questions.

1) What's the difference between DDR and DDR2 memory? Are they compatible? Is only one of them able to be paired up (ie 512 and 512 to make 1g ram)? How can you tell by looking at it which one it is?

2) What's the real differences between Pentium and Celleron(sp) processors?

3) How much faster, what's so good about Wireless N? I just started hearing about them a few days ago.

4) I know there's two types of ethernet cables for modem-router, and router-pc. Are there specific names for each? Last I heard you can't use the same wire for both.

5) What can you tell me about processors? Like, there are some duos and other such named processors. We sell laptops and desktops at work and I can't say which are "better" or faster by just the name of them.

I have a portable 2.5 inch harddisk.
Recently, it has been giving me problems.

I am able to view the file directory very easily but it takes a long time to access the file itself.

I am also unable to copy or paste huge items into the harddisk.

What is the cause of the problem and how to solve it?

I am not sure which way should the rear fan face when I install them. Should I make the side with the company logo facing inside the case or opposite? Hope someone knows what I am talking about, thank you.

I don't have a normal keyboard....It is almost like a laptop keyboard. Here's a link so you can see what kind of keyboard it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL72Sa8Nnns I don't know if it makes a difference that I have a different keyboard, but I wrote it just in case. And if you know, could you please say how to take the keys off?

If I added a radeon 9600pro could I run Grand Prix 4 on high the specefications after the graphics upgrade
256mb 9600pro
933mhz 256kb High Speed L2
512mb PC133
80gb IDE 7200rpm
20gb IDE 5200rpm
Intel D815efv chipset
It can run the game with the built in graphics but on low and cpu ussage isnt high but the frame rate and quality is Poor while CPU and Memory usage is low so teh only thing is GPU so would it work to me it looks like it is but 2nd oppinion?
