My pc is in really poor shape and crashes at least 40-50 times a day and all errors seem to point to the memory. I have used the official registered version of registry mechanic to see if there were any registry issues and one error that arrived in the deep scan section of the scan displayed 1 fault - noted as a kernelfault

Also sometimes when my pc crashes i see a blue stop screen stating these errors sometimes BAD_POOL_HEADER, IRQ_LESS_EQUAL, PAGE_IN_NON_PAGED_FAULT

in the stop message i also see win32k.sys noted as a reason for the stop error (crash) sometimes

I fear i have mismatched memory on my pc as my pc is supposed to run 256MB RAM but only 226MB is listed under system properties.

I have run memtest and it crashes when running that

What i would like to know is are there any things that can be done to correct this mismatch in the memory without having to replace the memory inside the PC?

Please advise, these constant crashes have been going on for 5 months

I am using an on-board sound card ( which is the connectors stucked to the motherboard ) and I found out that my sound is not working the next day. My Win xp pro can detect the sound driver but when i did some test, the sound volume control cannot be adjusted. My sound driver is: Realtek High Definition Audio. Motherboard: MSI 945GM2

Is there a way to retify this problem?
( I don't know whether the shop cheated me by using an old motherboard. My com sys is a DIY. )

I am building a computer system and am new to SATA technology. I am purchasing my first SATA hard drive.

The motherboard comes with the SATA data cable. What I want to know is if the power supply plugs directly into the SATA drive or does it need a special cable with a molex on one end?

On my hard drive wires, there are 2 different power cables besides the standard molex connectors. Would those be SATA power cables? They are black connectors and very thin.

I have a new PC with a Nvidia Geforce 7300 LE 512MB video card and when playing some games at the higher resolutions the framerate still slows down considerably. Someone once told me that it is possible to install a second video card which is solely dedicated to gaming and should improve the frame rate. I don't have much experience in these areas so can anyone help and tell me what I need to buy and if its easy to install?

I do alot of video editing as in BOOTLEGGING rented dvds with dvd shrink & dvd decrypter. I get a transfer rate of about 26 MB/ Sec hard drive to hard drive & up to a 16X transfer from the dvd. How much would my disk to disk transfer increase with a SATA drive. I dont expect the hard disk to perform at the maxium possible speed of 3 GB/Sec. But what are some of the real-world disk speeds with these newer drives?
