yes i actually went to Intel and found out that my board doesn't support Duo processors. I'm leaning towards buying an Intel Pentium 4 661. Thanks for your reply because I didn't even know that you...

OK, I just want to know if certain upgrades will be compatible on my PC. So far, I have had some yay's and nay's so I just want to be sure. Right now, I have a eMachines T3506. My system specs are...

oh lol well to be honest i'm just glad the other PC is restored as I'm having no problems with the one I have now, i'll just have to update it's RAM. Thanks for everyone's help in this situation.

ok well i was able to order some restore disks for my other computer. is it possible to switch the RAM out of that computer into the one I'm using now??

Turns out my video card is Onboard.

ok I know how to get the BIOS screen and all that but will changing the amount of RAM the video card uses cause any type of problems or for it's performance to degrade?

So there's no way to like 'disbable' the shared memory featured or do something to get the RAM back? If it's not then I guess I'll just have to upgrade

My RAM sticks may be going bad?? Lol, I hope not because I just bought it. But anyways under Display Adapters it says ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series.

Well it says that it's DAC type is Internal and it also says that it's memory size is 128 MB. Is there anything else that can be using all my memory?

it just shows the regular system specs with it saying i have 368 MB of RAM. How can I find out if I have onboard video?

lol well turns out that the computer techs couldn't fix it so my dad bought a new one. I just have a quick question. On the box it says that this PC has 512 MB of RAM, but my system specs says I only...

Yea, yesterday I went up to a computer store for help and the guy up there explained that I need a full re-install. So now, I'm waiting for a CD to come that's gonna do all that stuff for me, since...

OK, something major has just happened. Earlier today I contracted a small virus that messed up my computer a little bit. I was thinking that I could easily get rid of it with a few virus scans, but...

OK I found the BIOS screen and there was no option anywhere that showed the temperature of my PC. I'm going to upload a picture of what my BIOS screen looks like so I can show you.

Ok thanks for that.

ok well i still don't know how to get to the BIOS lol

OK well unplugging modems and stuff is something im going to have my father do because if i mess up my PC he's going to crazy. But anyways, how do you check the PC temperature through the BIOS?

ok well lol, i had yet again another crash and this time, there wasn't an error logged in the Event Viewer. now im getting to the point where i'm about to give up because this is just ridiculous....

OK, I looked at the event viewer because I just recently had a crash about ten minutes ago and I saw this error:

Ok I am having a SERIOUS problem with my PC constantly crashing. The crashing started yesterday morning and since then, my PC has crashed at least 10-15 times which is way too many times. All the...

yes when i Run "mplayer2" the classic edition comes up. Now my regular WMP works when I play videos or music, but the classic player still is used whenever I view a streaming video on a website...

But I've never downloaded the Windows Classic version or a Quicktime or Real alternative. Also WMP doesn't even show up in my Add/Remove Programs list (but it does show Viewpoint Media Player...:?:)...

OK I noticed this just today which is really annoying. I tried to view some streaming videos earlier and I noticed that instead of the site using my updated WMP, it used the Classic version which I...

ok, the PC is acting up again and I juss want to know if anyone knows how im able to prevent this from happening again. thanks

Well there was actually one time where 30 seconds after i turned my PC back on, it completely shut off again! So, now I uninstalled the previous game I had because that seemed to be the cause of the...

OK, I noticed this problem about a week ago when I was playing a PC game. Just all of a sudden, my PC completely turned off (mouse light, keyboard lights, and power light were still on). The only way...
