Pc Shuts Down After A Few Seconds
PC shuts down after a few seconds --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here is the situation, about 2 weeks ago one of my computers stopped in the middle of a game and shut down. That was it. I restarted the computer and it powered up and went into the normal startup sequence, it did hit the BIOS screen, then powered down unexpectedly. After that it could be turned on, but then immediately shut down, staying on no longer than about 4 seconds. The system

What Is The Best Processor For Gaming?
What the above said....lol...I was browsing the Internet the other day looking for the answer of which processor is the best for gaming, the compared processors are Intel Pentium IV HT E and AMD Athlon 64 (if I am not mistaken...)Most people say that Intel is better than AMD but also more expensive. While others say then AMD can be over-clocked and is less hotter than Intel.So know, I want your opinion. Which is the best processor for gaming? Intel or AMD?Thank you for the help.

Hi all,I don't know if you already had poll about processor type, but now I think ist time to tell again, which processor we have. I have AMD Duron - 1,6 ghz, but personally I think that pentium4 is best choice. Reason for me to have Duron is cheap price.

Got a question, Again. I want to be able to have to monitors, Two keyboards, And two mouses. So that they can be all hooked up to one computer but I can have several users doing different things.

I've got a linksys wireless router (BEFW11S4 V4) that causes lots of packet drops when I used it wirelessly. I didn't realise that packet drop while surfing webpages until when I tried to play online games.I tried Warcraft III and it becomes super laggy. I also tried to ping my router and sometimes I got more than 700ms latency and packet losts.I don't know much about routers but I believe it's something got to do with wireless buffers, however I couldn't find any related hel

I have a friend who was playing warcraft III on his computer today, and the disc exploded in his cd rom drive. Actally it was the frozen throne cd, and it is original. I think the disc must have gotten pasteurized, Lol.

Well enough of the story, what do you think he should do? T

Please Help Me Buy A New Computer!
Hello people, So, I got a little money (no no, don't check yer pockets, I didn't steal anything) and decided to buy a new computer with it. The problem is that I have no idea what I should buy. My budget is in the vicinity of Rs.30k, which comes up somewhere about $640. Now I asked around, and quickly got lost in an AMD v/s intel debate. Someone told me that I MUST get a quad core processor. On the other hand, I was told that a quad core was only needed if you have to run multi-us

Ok. I am using a Toshiba laptop with a Pentium 3.33 with HT and a 93 gig HDD and 512 Mb of memory....I would like to upgrade the memory. Would it be better if I were to get another 512 or a 1 gig? How do I figure out how many pins I need? And if i get another 512 should I get the exact same model that I already have? Thank you for your time and i look forward to reading your replies.

I have a problem with my computer. How come it's restarting on its own? When the electricity fluctuates, the computer restarts. I cannot control that though and that is tolerable given the quality of electric lines here in my country.But sometimes there are no electric fluctations and it is just restarting on its own. Is this spyware, trojan or virus? I scan my system regularly using Adaware and AntiVir.I am not that good in troubleshooting computers, so can anyone help me? Formatting my har

Is It Safe To Run A Computer Off A Non-grounded Line?
Hey all. The outlets in my room are not grounded, and I want to eventually get a computer up and running in there. Do you think that it is dangerous to do so, and if so, how dangerous is it? Are we talking computer-dying dangerous, electrocuting myself dangerous, or some other kind of dangerous? Thanks, folks.

Alright, I got 2 monitors currently and I found that my brother left his old graphics card at my house. I was wondering if I would be able to run dual monitors with this. I don't know like anything about running dual monitors. Do you just need 2 monitors and 2 graphic cards? If thats the case, my current graphics card is a 32mb geforce2. My brothers old one I believe is some 16mb card. Will these work? or will their be conflicts because I believe they are different brands and also hav

Which Printer Has Long-lasting Ink?
So right now I am using the Lexmark x5470. I just printed 2 pages worth of colorful pages (starting at 100% full cartridge) and now it shows that I have 50% left of color ink! I've printed 10 pages with the same color and I stilled had a decent amount of ink--and this was 7 years ago. Since this printer can't be returned any more because it's already past the 30 day return policy, I'm going to be stuck with this for a while. However, can anyone recommend a good printer which
