Hi all
I am nishant, an electronics engg. my PC has been in dire straits ever since i bought it an year ago. specs are: intel original 915 mobo,512mb ddr ram, 80 gb sata hdd, 3 ghz processor with hyperthreading technology..

could any good soul offer me a hint or two as to source of my travails....
