Have a search for HP Pavilion on here and on google and you will find they have a fault and are falling down across the world.

That is because SATA did not exist when XP was written. You need to search for a SATA driver for your [U]motherboard[/U].

After some research, you are the victim of a trojan. Download, update, and run a full scan with Mbam [url]http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php[/url] Once done, post it's log in this thread.

Yup, bios battery for sure. If you have a standard pc then it will be a CR2032 and is quite cheap to get a replacement for.

I had the exact same problem some time back, I couldn't get to my very own website. Converting to FireFox fixed the problem. :)

Sounds like your drive may need a format.

It means you need to update to WLM - [url]http://download.live.com/?sku=messenger[/url]

Have you got USB or PS2 keyboards? Have you tried both types? Do they work correctly in your bios?

If you want to play the game, you will need a better graphics card.

There is no such thing as %100 security. They will always find a way round it. The best thing there is is to surf sensibly.

What windows version are you using and what computer have you got? We can only work with the information you give us.

What exactly do you mean by "upgrade it"??

It is probably malware related! What protective software do you have and what does it say after a [B]full[/B] scan?

What exactly is giving you that temperature? Is it the CPU or the motherboard?

When I saw the thread title I thought "oh no, not another one". Suspishio is right, it's most probably a brick now.

Give the cd a good clean and see if it will then work ok.

If this has only happened after you have moved it then it is most likely not something serious. You need to remove and refit your ram and all cards. Let me know how you get on. :)

The moral is, if you cant loose data, always always always back it up.

It sounds like the install is having trouble with with the graphics driver. What XP install do you have? SP1 or SP2? Make sure the cd is nice and clean and free of scratches too.

We need a lot more info than that in order to diagnose your problem. What windows version do you have? What type of mouse and keyboard do you have? PS2 or USB? Have you added any software or hardware just before the problem began? What virus and malware protection do …

One thing that can work for a while is to put the faulty hard drive into a resealable bag and stick it in the freezer over night. From now on, always back up any data you don't want to loose.

[quote][B][U]*He doesn't have the recovery disc.*[/U][/B] [/quote] [B]alcskid[/B], Please read the original post completely. [B]imapcndineedhlp[/B], your friend needs to get in touch with the manufacturer of his laptop and demand that they send him and install disk.

It is most likely that the power problem you said about in your first post has caused corruption on your hard drive. I have had the exact same problem in the past. A format and a reinstall of windows cured it for me. A full (not quick) format of your …

A sound card is a card that plugs into a free slot within the pc that has hardware on board it that allows the production of sound by the pc.

Bin it and buy a new computer. Emachines are very well known for being extremely poor quality. The PSU usually goes then it does serious damage to the motherboard. There are tens of thousands of them clogging up landfill sites across the world right now.

Does it have different speed ram sticks in it by any chance? I have encountered many old Pavilions in the past with a mismatch of ram. Usually 256meg of PC100 and 256meg of PC133. Putting all PC100 or all PC133 can sometimes fix the problem. In some cases, the second …

If the driver is the problem but you wont update it then you are stuck with the problem.

That is because your laptop has a SATA hard drive. Sata hard drives did not exist when server 2003 was made. Unless you can find a SATA driver that you can put on a floppy or cd, you will never get that to install.

You either have a faulty graphics card that requires replacement (most likely) or you have a corrupted bios (not very likely). You can reset your bios. Your motherboard manual will tell you how to do it. Replacing the graphics card is most likely to fix the problem tho. As caperjack …

Put the old ram back in and see if it works then.

In addition to what barryt has asked for, can you try disabling the firewall on the xp machine for a short time to see it it will then connect properly?

Can you tell me the model number of the card?

Have a look here and see which best describes the beeps that you hear - [url]http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml[/url]

I have absolutely no idea what you mean by "2 PIN Type Connectors that SCREW IN".

There isn't much that can go wrong with that type of card apart from a manufacturing fault. If it was me, I would get it replaced. The only other thing it could be is the possibility that your PSU isn't good enough. Can you have a look at it's label …

Do you have a PC or a Laptop?

You should be able to get a usb adapter from somewhere like ebay that will allow you to connect it's hard drive to another pc quite easily and cheaply.

Perhaps it is overheating? Give the CPU's heatsink and fan a good dust out and see if that helps.
