| | One Gigahertz is 1000 megahertz If you have a laptop with 240mb of RAM installed that means your laptop has a 256Mb module installed, It will have 16Mb of that RAM allocated to the onboard graphics rather than system memory. With only 256Mb of RAM installed, and only 240Mb available … |
| | Try using the controls on the monitor instead. There will be monitor controls to 'stretch' the screen inage horizontally and vertically, and you will not necessarily be able to use them from within windows. Have a look at the controls on your monitor or the onscreen menu system it has. |
| | I would suggest you trie to squeeze out the extra $$$s needed to get a 6600GT display card rather than a 'vanilla' 6600. The extra performance you'll get will definitely be worth it. Even if you need to limit it to a 128Mb 6600GT, it will still be considerably better. |
| | Use Explorer or My Computer to find its folder on your hard drive. It'll probably be in you \Program files directory, and in a folder called Siny or Digital Voice Editor. You may need to do a bit of hunting. Then use Add/Remove programs to uninstall it. Go back to … |

| | It looks like additions have been made to DOS startup files which are stopping your system from loading properly. You haven't, by any chance, recently installed some old software have you?

| | Have you reinstalled your Windows Updates? |
| | You've mentioned unplugging drives, but are you unplugging the power connectors from them as well as the data cables? You should disconnect both!

| | DDR2 is not currently really any faster than DDR. DDR2 requires a special motherboard and cannot be used in a motherboard designed for use with DDR. Unless you purchase a system which needs it, there's not really any point to purchasing it. When DDR2 was designed, it was not envisaged … |

| | I suspect it is a software problem. The only way to be sure is to reload the laptop from it's Recovery Cds to original shipped state. If the behaviour continues with a fresh install, then it must be a hardware problem. I'd suggest you visit our 'Viruses and Nasties' forum … |

| | I would strongly suggest that you download and install the V1.9 BIOS update from [url]http://www.asrock.com.tw/support/Download/dl_k7vm2.htm[/url] I'm unsure if that contains a fix for the problem, as only details of the most recent two upgrades are provided, but that certainly sounds like a problem that only a BIOS update would fix. … |
| | errmmmmm..... It'd be helpful if you made it more clear what you want to know. Are you valuing the system to sell, for example, or are you wanting to know how much it would cost to build such a PC? Also it'd help if you indicated your country of origin, … |
| | Have you added a drive specifically for this? If so has it been prepared and formatted? The install routine should allow you to choose which drive or partition you want to install to, and also create a multi boot menu for you. Boot your PC from the CD and choose … |
