The answer is simple. i know this thread is getting old, but I am answering it for the benefit of all who may need this in the future. It is one of 3 things. 1. a custom install disk that is corrupted. 2. a damaged DVD. 3. a faulty DVD …

This is an interesting question, and I understand the thread is old, but I do have some insights on the topic. 1a. I'm amazed no one has mentioned this: Some operating systems are limited to the max ram they can see. 32bit OS's can only see a theoretical maximum of …

yep, but that means now that your modem won't work unless you reinstall the drivers.

You're not going to believe this... It's most likely the one thing that you haven't looked at. The first thing that I would do is replace the POWER SUPPLY UNIT, if yo uhave one lying around to swap it out with. I have had 3 computers do the same thing …

Nope, that's perfectly normal and expected behaviour. Windows runs in something called virtualised memory now, as do most apps inside it. basically each app is almost sandboxed to protect them from each other when they crash. once upon a time (XP) if one app locked up the whole PC locked …

Ok, so what you have is an update that is "stuck". I still don't know why this happens, but there is a fix for it in the Microsoft database, here somewhere: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358 there's heaps more helpout there, too, but this is a good start. Get back to us and we …

what version of windows are you running? control panel - hardware - power options - change power saving settings - change (current) plan settings - change advanced power settings. or you might have a third party utility that does it for you (eg such as a built in utility like …

yes, caperjack is correct, all RAM should underclock to the lowest stick of RAM in a config, but keep in mind that it will then generally disable dual channel benefits. But usually, that's no biggie unless you are a top-end user, and if you were you'd be buying 4x matched …

When you say "I plan to", that's fine. but the answers to the following would be handy; 1. why? is it a 'my computer is slow on W7', or 'I know and therefore prefer XP', or something else. Just a thought, tech keeps moving right along. Official support for the …

Is there any way you could get in touch with someone who know how to use a multimeter? it could be that your power supply has stopped working, I would check that first, most "nice guy" repair shops would check that for you for free/next to nothing.

If that happened to me, it woudl become a 160gb doorstop. you can buy new 500gb hdd for less than $100, would you really trust you data on a sub-par drive? Just my 2 cents, and I have been burned with this issue 2x. Never again...

as it boots up., press F8 continously until it comes up with an advanced versio of the "would you like to boot to safe mode" screen. look for the one that says "load last known good configuration", and try that first.

My first thought would be to go to the device's manufacturer's pages and download any applicable drivers (IDE, SATA, RAID, USB, HOST CONTROLLER, ACHPI, CHIPSET DRIVERS), and also to see if there are any firmaware updates for the motherboard, both on the computer's driver support site and on the actual …

Hi there. HP Pavillion DV6 are REALLy well known for doing this. there is a big law suit against HP about the design flaw. the heat-sinc isn't sufficient for the CPU and GpU, and the GpU (graphics card) dies. you can hope that's not the case with you, but then …

Well, there's always the possibility of a hardware issue or failure. DVD RW drives have lasers in them, have you cleaned it lately ? Especially if you use it extensively. Something like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-DVD-ROM-Laser-Cleaning-Disc/dp/B00005UPDF

OK, that sounds like something has played with the registry for you. I am going to have a play with my computer and I will see if I can replicate the error. If I can replicate it, I can fix it... bear with me please, I am listening to you!

Heh. All of these suggestions. Let's try and get back to basics and troubleshoot your issue, shall we: I understand if the boss wants to "not allow exceptions". That is his prerogative. But with 500 computers, one would expect that he woudld just let the internal IT dept handle it. …

I don't suppose you have got another mouse? It sounds almost like a hardware issue to me.
