I had my first HD for about 3 months before it started to sound like a popcorn making machine and just crashed. It was under warranty, so I had it replaced. I am now using my new HD and it is already starting to make the same noises again!
Does this grinding DEFINITELY mean my HD will crash soon? If so how long do I have before it goes out?

For example a MAC user once told me "LOLz PC's suck. They crash so much."

This happens randomly, there's a single click, and the computer freezes up. Rebooting brings it back to life. I've scanned for viruses, this definatly seems to be hardware related. Could it be the power supply.

My hard drive supposedly is in bad status. My startup screen is stating that. It was fine until my power supply went out. I replaced it and now it is scan disking and is only 10% complete reading bad file segments that are unreadable. I can't boot from a windows disc. Im not sure how to delete the partition to reinstall. I am running XP.

I have a HP laptop. Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on? I've checked autoscroll but that didn't fix it, though I couldv'e done it wrong. I've rebooted, updated my anti-virus software, it's not my hand tapping on the mouse pad either. I've also reset to original settings, & nothing is working. My laptop worked fine this morning. I downloaded an upgrade to a software and changed my homepage settings today. After that nothing works. If anyone has any ideas on what to try I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

It's for my nephew. I've heard that it may have viruses,etc. I'm pretty uneducated when it comes to computers, so any advice would help. He's 12, so the budget is around 150ish. Is this realistic??

I'm looking for no less than 2gb. (Is that overdoing it?- I have a 2.3Gigahertz processor...) I am looking for the best deal on a 2GB RAM set with over or around 600 Megahertz...

Also, how can I check the Megahertz that I already have on the RAM chips I have now?- I basically want to get a grip on what I already have (512mb) and see what would be best for me...

Thank you!

My computer has been making kind of a grinding noise, I believe this is related to my hard drive but almost all of my applications are running very slow as well, even when loading webpages. Does this sound more like a processor issue or harddrive related?

So yah...

My computer keyboard is packed with three months worth of parrot+cat+ferret ****. There is also alot of cigerett (well...we'll call them cigeretts) ash in it.

Well I gotta clean it. How should I go about it? My homie down south-side said kerosene should so the trick but I'm afraid itg may not be strong enough.

Acetone...Gasoline I don't really know what I should use.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

I'm asking for a laptop for Christmas, but I need one that is money-efficient (not too pricey) and good for transporting to school and such. I don't need alot of extra features, but just one that gets the job done. Thank you!

I want to buy a cheaper computer. It doesnt matter if it's a laptop or a desk computer. As long as they are both equal in quality and up-to-date internet browers and large storage for music, photos, and videos.

I see that computers are cheaper than laptops. Is it because laptops are portable? sO IS BUYING THE HEAVY COMPUTER BETTER?
