Running Windows XP. CD drive has stopped working. It seems to be spinning but does not read anything. What can I check? Thanks.

I replaced the CD drive in my Presario 5000T desktop yesterday with a Philips DVD8301/44 I got from a friend without documentation or box. From what I can find on Google it should read both CDs and DVDs. However, it reads only DVDs. This happens under both Windows XP Home and Ubuntu Linux 7.10....

The standard RAM in this machine is 256mb. I am trying to upgrade by adding a 512mb card (specs say it's upgradable to 1GB). I am using an ULTRA DDR Memory (PC2700, 333mHz) which is compatible with PC2100 266mHz). When adding this card to the 2nd slot, the system is not recognizing it. I took...

I have a few users who have Compaq Evo's (not my choice!). In any case, it seems like it's random behavior, but it must be initiated by end-user action - in this case, unintended action. It's as if the screen becomes virtual and is much larger than the monitor can display; to "move" around the...

I bought a CD/DVD drive to replace the CD drive in my 5000T Presario. Removing the side panel was no problem but it looks the the other parts of the cabinet are riveted to the chassis. I can see no way to remove and replace the CD drive. Can someone please help? I'm afraid to get too ambitious...

I have an HP Compaq d330T desktop computer. I had trouble with the computer powering itself off after about a minute. In the past I had trouble with the CPU fan getting full of dust and loud, so once again I removed it and vacuumed it out. However, after I put the fan back in, the computer...

I've got two sticks of 128 MB ram and have room for one more. If I add a stick of 256 MB, does the order in which the three sticks are installed make any difference? Can I just put the 256 stick in the third slot or must I put it in the first slot and move a 128 stick to the third slot? Compaq...

I also have a 5 years old Compaq Presario 2140CA laptop. I tried to use System Recovery CDs to reinstll it completely to original manufacturer standards but the problem is that it just shuts down in the middle of the recovery or reinstalling process. Previously it just shuts down if I play a video...

I have a Compaq Presario M2000 series (M2105US). It works well and I have had no problems with it other than that when I shut it down I am unable to reboot without reinstalling Windows XP using the original disk. When I shut down and later turn it on, I get an error message that says "internal boot...
