I could use some help with a couple of problems, the first is that my computer is turning itself off (it just loses power as if you had unplugged it) roughly once per day. The other problem, which may be linked, is that when I install 1 stick of RAM the computer works, but when I put two in I get...

I have a Dell 4300. In general it is fine for my needs except that it can only handle 512MB RAM and that is just a problem. Are there any motherboards that have the same form factor as Dell so that I could just plug it into my case, either re-use the CPU or not, add more memory and then plug...

I know the motherboards are different but is there a reason why desktop computer aren't built to use mobile cpus? I assume desktop and mobile are about the same performance for the average user, mobile cpus are capable enough to run 99% of the games available, and mobile cpus run cooler and more...

I have a song from which I want to create a new file with only the first 35 seconds of the present file in it and then repeat that a number of times.In other words, have those 35 seconds repeat maybe 5 times and then burn that file.

I've just purchased a 300gig HDD to replace a full 120gig drive. I want to use Ghost 9 to copy the 120gig disk to the 300gig disk, but it is not working. When the Ghost process starts, nothing happens except that the 120gig drive "clicks" like it is trying to seek sectors that don't exist. Using...

Hi, I'm thinking of expanding my laptops current memmory of 2x256mb to 2x512 which makes a total of 1 gig of memmory. Thing is, are all kinds of soDIMM compatible? What should I be aware of before buying? The manual says this: "256 of 512 MB DDR333 geheugen, uit te breiden tot 1 GB met gebruik...

I use windows xp pro and the soundmax builtin which is on the ASUS motherboard. I can test the mike and it works fine with the wizard. But how can I record onto the harddrive a test portion and then listen to it?

Greetings to all, Happy new year, for start! I've recently acquired Intergraph's Intense3D Wildcat 4000 as a gift, so i decided to put it in my sister's computer, unter the moto "Why the hell wouldn't i have a card that cost 3000$ working". OGL works perfectly, but card refuses to work under...

I'm trying to decide what rackable UPS to buy. So I have a Poweredge 2850 with redundant power supplies. It says the power supply is rated at 700W. Does this mean because I have redundant power my server is actually drawing 1400W while in use? If so, what kind of UPS should I get? Does this...
