Sometimes when I click on a link or a button, the cursor switches to a hand but nothing else happens. I click several times and then stop and finally, after another 10-second wait, the link comes up. The mouse works fine in games, so I don't think that's the problem. Also, those pages oen very slowly. Any ideas?

Last year I did this with my computer... "Go to start menu then Click "Run" then Type msconfig then a window will appear . Click "Start Up" (Upper Right) then uncheck the unnecessary programs that you dont want to run during start up. Restart your computer!" and when I restarted my computer all that came up was a blue screen... we had to go buy a new computer.... Well my question is why did this happen?? Thanks!!

I currently have an AMD 3500+ on an ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe Mobo (socket 939) and 1GB (2x512 matched pair) Corsair ram with an ASUS Nvidia 7950GT video card (512mb). I have a WD Raptor SATA HDD. Would I see a noticeable improvement upgrading the CPU to the dual core AMD CPU The FX-57 is the fastest chip I can find for the 939, is there a faster socket 939 out there?

Without doing a complete system upgrade, would just this change make a difference in overall performance and games that I would notice? With my current system, it seems to be the most cost effective upgrade at the moment.

I have a Compaq Presario 8000Z (pc2100) desktop machine and I did the IDE DPS self-test. The results: "Test failed. Drive replacement recommended."

The model of the dead drive is ST340016A
The firmware is 3.10
Location is Primary Drive 0

Is there a web site that can do for me what Crucial.com does for figuring out the RAM type?

Or, heck, I'm happy to stroll into the local CompUSA with this same information if that works, too.

Thanks for any help!

I installed a new graphic card on my computer - XFX 8800 XXX 320 GTS. Then I installed windows XP Pro SP2 after total format of C:\. I installed the latest drivers and I'm getting very low FPS (5-30) in Quake 4, NFS Carbon and other games of similar requirements, at 1024x768, full details. I got Athlon 64 X2 4200, 2 Gb of 1000 Mhz RAM and 450 Chieftec power supply (a good make). What is going on? Why am I getting so poor number of FPS?

Whenever I turn on my computer (It's a kinda modern PC with Microsoft XP), my hard drive makes this weird noise, and then the screen comes up with all this stuff I don't understand. And at the bottom, it says SYSTEM BOOT FAILURE. And below it, it says, Insert Atapi CD-ROM and then press ENTER. I can't get on my computer and it's really frustrating! What do I do??

I have a user who needs her old PS2 keyboard, her new PC is all USB (and yes, we've tried several USB to PS2 adaptors). Any suggestions? We have a serial port available too, but I haven't found an adaptor for that (other than a mouse adaptor which doesn't work with keyboards).

i know rendering speed is mostly based on how fast your cpu is but if i increase to more and faster ram, will that take any load off my cpu and make my renderings faster?
I now have a intel pentium d processor with 1gb dd2 pc4200 ram and im thinking about upgradeing two 2 gigs of pc5300 ram. And no i am not going to get a new cpu because im waiting until winter or spring for the 8 core processors to come out and until next winter when their prices come down :P

I am building a new PC and right now I am buying all the parts. For my video card I chose

XFX PVT84JUDF3 GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16.

I was wondering wether I need to buy an additional power supply for this graphics card.
P.S. If I do, then how many watts does the power supply need to have (min)?

I will be getting a AMD cpu. I am getting a really nice abit mobo in a few days along with a 250 gb hard drive. Should I get the 5200 or 5400. After reading articles in PC Gamer mag. I was scared out of my pants that AMD was the wrong way to go because they had less transistors than Intel by about 2 million. That's a lot. And the fact that they will probably be out dated along with my video card. I am just really frustrated, because AMD won't break the bank but probably won't shoot me far enough in the future to handle the games I want to play. Please note, I AM NOT AN EXTREME GAMER. I play flight sim. sim city 4, halo 1 and eventually 2. But no fear or other games like that. I plan on buy the xfx 8600 gt. It seems like a decent card for what I am doing right? ahahahahahhh. Make me feel good about my AMD decision.

Can i use a 8600 in one spot and a 7950 in another? or do they have to be both 8600's? also, if they have to be the same, do i need the same manufacturer? i wouldnt think so since the chipset is the same, but idk if they even need to be the same model in the 1st place =P

I've compared the p.c.'s configured on newegg.com to those I configured on reseller sites (www.computerlx.com, www.pcinfinity.com, www.velocitymicro.com, unitedmicro.com) and I get the same pc for $300-600 less, plus I'm a bit paranoid about those sites based on their reviews. So, here are my concerns:
1. getting into a bind (i.e., and not being able to build the system before the CPU return policy, (7 days) then have a defective processor.
2. Not being able to "burn in" the system, as most stores do.
3. Hooking the wrong connector into the wrong recepticle, as I've heard of people doing (e.g., hooking the extra 4 pin power connector on a 20+4 connector and frying the mobo).
I have limited knowledge and experience with computers. The most I've done is install a video card--which I needed the instructions to do so. My dad builds systems but refuses to do it for me, as he wants me to save my money. If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

I know I have an outdated videocard (ATI Radeon 9550 w/ Stealth S120), and I decided to buy spider-man 3 with a new videocard. Anyway:

*I would like to know what videocard exactly would give me performance and speed for under $300.

*Is there a difference from NVIDIA cards vs ATI Radeon cards? Like the, NVIDIA 7800GS vs ATI X1650 Pro? Anything would be helpful.

~I know what the card should have, but I just can't place what card to get. Any support will be helpful.~
