If the pc is able to start up sometimes, then I think it is the PSU. But it is just a guess. You should try to replace the psu, or try it in another pc, to be sure. :)

I believe your cd/dvd burner need a little more power than you can provide with a single usb 2.0 connector. You need a usb-wire like this: [img]http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/Images/reviews/usbfever-2xcable/resize/USBCable1.jpg[/img] (thank you google, and usbfever.com :) ) You can probably use an usb-hub IF it have it's own power source. Otherwise it will …

twiggy238 That sounds like a typical case of a CPU over heating. Check if your cpu cooler have sufficient air supply. Is the cpu fan running, is the case fan(s) running (if you have 2, then are they working together like 1 sucking air in front, and 1 blowing air …

I have no idea about prices in your area, so I will only suggest in general. I recommend that you buy at least core i5 4.gen. CPU (i7 might be better if you can afford it ofc. - some encoding software use multicore better, and thus work faster) motherboard could …

I agree that it sounds like the motherboard can't pass the self test. But it might not necessarily be expensive to fix. At my work we have some sales personel, occasionally breaking an USB-connector on the motherboard, which will often result in a short circuit from the pins to ground …

You don't have to format the disk before recovering your data. try this recovery software: [url]http://www.piriform.com/recuva/download[/url] or this: [url]http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/[/url] You will need some temporary room for all the files that you need to save, so you might have to borrow or buy another usb-disk for that purpose. Later, when you …

If you have changed the hard drive, you have to install your OS again - otherwise you might be able to repair the old one. Since you didn't write what Operating system you had, I can't guide you any further than, boot from your original OS install disk, and follow …

It can be an error in Microsoft's servers - you should contact them. :)

The only difference between the 2100, and the 2105 is the embedded graphic's part. 2105 having the better gpu of the two. The i3-540 is the oldest of them all, and have a different socket (lga1156), so unless you were thinking of using them with different motherboards, you can't use …

it depends on what system - try to type help in the prompt, and then you will get a list of possible commands for your particular version of OS

Try this, open the original email -> right click on the photo, and select "save as" or "save" on the menu, and save the picture in a folder where you can find it, and attach it to the new email. I know it isn't the easy way, but I think …

It might still be a hardware issue, even if it isn't located directly in the keyboard. I suggest you try to boot from a linux-distro cd, or hirens boot cd, to test if the error is persistent. If not a hardware issue, I think you should first try to create …

I would try with [url=http://www.runtime.org/]GetDataBack[/url] You might not get it all back, but with a little luck it can recover some of it. And stop using the hdd/pc that you need to recover data from - best to use another pc, since windows will randomly use any space on the …

I suggest you read this, on how and why electronic parts degrade in time. [url]http://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/processors/transistor-aging[/url] One very likely possibility though, is that the faulty ram can't keep up with the speed anymore. :)

If you pc isn't going into BSOD as soon as you plug in the AC adapter, it might not be related to that. a BSOD 15 minutes later, can be anything else. :) The error suggest a driver issue, and you should search for updated drivers. I am using SlimDrivers …

okay, lots of possible reasons for this error. ;) 1. Check that cpu and ram is seated properly, and see if you didn't accidentally have bend a pin in the cpu socket (can be very hard to see, but try to look anyway) All the ram out and re-seat them. …

I agree that it is time for a new pc, with those specs. :) I would probably buy something like this pc, if it was for my self. [url]http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/lenovo-g570-15-6-laptop-black-10747085-pdt.html[/url] What I think is important, is that you find a decent brand, and look for the processor model used. Intel core …

I guess your gpu get's too hot, to continue working properly. Check if the gpu fan is running properly, and if the gpu heatsink is clean and dust free. You don't want any dust and dirt to block the airflow on the gpu heatsink. :) You can also download [url=http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/]the …

Yes, you can install a dedicated graphics card, if there is a Pci-e x16 slot on the motherboard. But you might have to disable the onboard graphics support in the bios, for the new gpu to work (and drivers install) properly.

You have to set the ram frequency in the bios manually, and maybe also the right timings. I think the reason for this, is that 1333 MHz are the maximum default for the processor. :)

Can you run an exe file in cmd? If you can - then download [url=http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html]malwarebytes antimalware[/url] and run the full scan. It will most likely remove the .exe-hijack. :) Otherwise, you can try to use system restore.

I believe it is a driver issue - like win 7 not recognizing your keyboard, when you try to install it. And the fact that you have started a new install, which didn't finish, will ofc. give you a bsod, since what you have on the hdd is only part …

It depends what you a going to use it for. (I assume the price is equal on the 3 laptops) I agree with jingda that the lenovo is the best laptop for performance, since it have both a better cpu and a good quality dedicated graphics chip, but it will …
