I have not attempted this, and what is flashing bios?

My computer will ultimately be burned viking style, no doors need stopping.

The blue screen of death tells me there is a bios acpi disagreement.

Crunchie if your still checking this it seems now it says that it is a problem with the BIOS and ACPI compatibility and I need to visit www.hardware-update.com

I got this one today.
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

STOP 0x00000050 (0xC0AC331C, 0x00000000, 0x804E8D74, 0x00000002)

Ok well I got the nvidia graphics card, and now my screen is all out of wack. It says I am running at 800x600 and everything is too large and well just too large. But it won't let me change my...

I don't know. My friend hasn't given it to me yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I get it.

Nvidia 7600gs

I think I might have a PCI-e slot. I have a big black slot that says PCI express above it, and it has nothing in it.

I tried doing that scan for artifacts thing today, and the computer shut off maybe 15 minutes into it. Also I am borrowing a Nvidia graphics card from a friend. I have 3 PCI slots at the back of my...

How can I check if I have those slots? I may be able to borrow a graphics card from a friend.

Ok so today I hit a snag, the computer has been running fine but today it has not. It refused to start up and frequently froze or restarted. When I did get it going it kept making me log in...

No I havnt really been messing with it because when setting the core to 330 everything has been running w/o restarting the computer

I would assume its an on-board chipset because I bought the computer from CompUSA. It's not a custom job.

I need to merge two active partitions because one is running low and things keep trying to install to it. I don't have a dvd burner. I need a free partition merger.

I have a ATI Radeon Express 200

CoreTemp says "This is not an Intel "Core" Architecture based processor. This program will not continue." Even though I am running on a Intel Pentium 4 Inside.

Thats what I was thinking when I blew the dust out this morning. Any good tips on how to check these things?

I've posted on here before about this but the advice I got didn't really work out for me so here it goes again. When I boot up my computer it frequently restarts and struggles to turn on, giving me...

I don't quite get what you mean gerbil. Also though when I'm not running any programs and the computer has been idle for a few seconds the CPU usage is kinda high, like 30-60%. Could the restarts be...

I have this file named Blocks on my hard drive that only appeared after a full system restore. It takes up a lot of space and I was wondering if I can get rid of it.

Yes I chose new partition and it wants me to make it a completely different drive, I was just wondering if there is a way to add it to my already existent C drive

Ok I did what you said and found 55.12gb or something as unallocated, Im having trouble figuring out how to add that to my C drive though.

Yes I did a full reformat, back to factory settings 100% wiped. If I'm looking at the partition how do I access the full drive?
