i'll be on the internet and just surfing or talking on aim and my wireless card will screw up and i'll lose internet
i click repair and it takes a minute to repair and then i have internet again
has anyone else experienced this problem and do you know how to fix it?
it's not a HUGE problem it's just an annoyance mostly

and also it happens randomly, sometimes it'll happen like 5 times in 20 minutes which is when i usually get frustrated and get off the computer. and some times i'll be on for a few hours and it'll be fine.

thanks in advance for your help

When I am on my computer, every once in a while, my mouse and keyboard disconnect from my computer, and the actual computer starts to beep really loudly. Then I have to basically jiggle the connection of both until the beep stops and then I usually have to put my computer on stand by to fix the mouse. Any ideas? Thanks.

I do plan to multi-task with this computer, but it would only be things such as Firefox, Windows Media Player, and other low-demand applications. They are both AMD Athlon 64.

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FE670G laptop computer. It has an Intel Core Duo T2300 CPU dual-core at 1.66GHz Clock Speed and 667MHz FSB, 1GB RAM and a 5400rpm, 100GB hard drive.

When I am surfing the web on the computer and am also running simultaneous scans with Grisoft AVG Antivirus 7.5 and also AVG Antispyware 7.5, the computer runs so slow. Pages take anywhere from almost 10 seconds to maybe a minute or more to open up.

But when I go to Windows Task Manager to look at the system's performance, the computer never reaches peak RAM usage.

So if I upgrade the RAM to 2GB(which is the maximum amount the motherboard can handle), will it really help?

The system's current RAM is 1GB(2x512 MB). So upgrading to 2GB will require replacing the two memory chips with 2x1GB. That's not cheap. If upgrading to 2GB helps for now, I don't know how much longer it will be before my computer will run slow again.

Would I be better off just buying a new, faster laptop?


Many thanks,
C.L

Can you connect 2 powersupply units together (in parallel) to increase there output.
Bassicly i need around 250W PSU but it needs to run from a 12v dc supply the bigest 12v dc-dc psu i can get is the M2-ATX 160W.
Could 2 of these be joined together to give a 320W output i know the curretn draw would be high but i've allowed for a 50amp 12v supply.

Any ideas?
