Hi I have a friend who wishes to upgrade the performance of his Compaq Presario 6000 (128Mb RAM Celeron processor). Would replacing the motherboard be a viable option? Is it possible to replace Intel motherboards with an AMD compatible motherboard? Any views would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I recently inherited a Compaq LTE 5380 laptop (old I know but it does the job I want it for), when I got it, the battery was charged to 100%. Great, lasted the full charge time OK. When I go to charge it now, it says "Battery 6%, Charging" - and doesn't move. The 6% charge doesn't have...

I have a Compaq Desktop model Deskpro EN that I hardly ever use. It sits running. I only have one visual basic billing program that I periodically use. This morning I went to boot it and got an error message that the file windows 2000 root\system32\ntoskrnl.exe was corrupted and needed to be...

I installed eight 512MB RDIMMs (using authorized Compaq part numbers for the memory) onto a Compaq W8000 workstation. At bootup the computer BIOS is reporting only 3440 MB present. Is this a limitation of a particular BIOS release? Is it corrected by a later upgrade? Or would this indicate...

I just bought a SR1055CL-B bundle at Costco. It comes with a FP3717 17" flat screen. The monitor seems to have a very slight beep to it, about once a second. Why is this? if I play with the volume, nothing happens. Resetting the machine does not help. It's just loud enough to be a pain...
