I am going to add a 1GB kit to my PC. Meaning I will replace both my 256mb and 128mb clips. Will I have to re-install windows if i add the new memory?

I bought it new last year and I followed some procedure I found online to find the name of my graphics card, but the name and manufacturer were blank. I'm getting an error message stating my video card drivers or either not updated or not supported but I can't confirm which one it is because I can't find info on my graphics card.

I suffered a hard disk failure the other night. :-( I managed to re-animate my operating system from the backup copy I had on the partition, but obviously all my recent files are lost. (I've backed up files previously, but not for the last few weeks). I've put in a second hard drive to recover files from c: to, but the PC won't ascribe a drive letter. I've got a 200GB drive with C: and D: (as the OS backup partition) on a SCSI. There are 2 SCSI ports on my motherboard. I've also got 2 optical drives running as master and slave on one IDE and now I've connected a 320GB drive to the other IDE. I've tried attaching via the master and slave sockets on the IDE and changing the jumpers from factory setting (cable select) to device 1 (slave) and device 1 (slave present). The hardware manager accepts that there is a hard disk drive present, but won't give it a drive letter. It also claims that 'this device is working properly'!

i had my hard drive reformatted on other pc cause it gave me an error message "NTLDR MISSING" on my pc. Now it has a fresh XP OS, but when i tried it to my pc it won't work. i know that motherboard is different from where i format my hard drive (i intentionally format my hard drive from other pc to erase the error message) so when i attempt to format and install OS again, it won't budge. the keyboard doesn't work only when you press DEL to enter setup and the function keys but after i finish the setup, the keys won't work anymore. It's the reason why i can't boot from CD. hope somebody can help. thanks.

I have moderate to high computer knowledge and I just built myself a computer. The only problem is, I can't get any sound! I installed the Intel D975xBx2. I checked the BIOS to see if it was enabled. I made sure that all the volume sliders are up, and nothing is muted. I made sure that the proper sound system is set to default. I installed the drivers that came with the motherboard, and they didn't work. I uninstalled them, and downloaded the newest drivers. Those haven't worked either.

Also, I'm not sure if this matters, but the motherboard is supposed to support 5.1 and 7.1 systems and I have a 2.1 system.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have recently purchased a 160GB IDE Hard Disk that has XP pre-installed.

My problem seems to be be that after finding the hard disk as 'IDE hard Disk' on the first screen it leads to the O/S Choice screen' (Safe Mode, SM with CMD Prompt, Last Known Good Config, Start Win Normally), and when I choose Last Known good config it leads to a black screen, and if I choose start windows normally it completely freezes!

Any ideas?
