the pcu warms when computer is on

assuming you mean "cpu" its not wise to let a non-booting computer run till the processor gets hot .you may be just doing more harm ,it may already be too late ,no way of telling that i know of ,except changing the CPU

it may not even be a corrupt registry , start with memtest86 to
check you ram .download the ISO file for windows and using isoburn or win7 iso burning tool , burn to disk to make a bootable dist to run the ram check .go to the free download link and get the latest version
http://www.memtest86.com/

then go to your harddrive makers website and get there utility for checking the harddrive for errors/damage

I have already done chkdsk twice (previously) and no errors or bad sectors. I think it might be a registry error, beause that is the only option I have not yet explored. Do you know any place where I can download the default system registry for win7 so I can replace my registry?

Thanks for your help!

P.S. I have a SATA drive.

there is no default windows registry file ,all are unique to each computer .doing a system restore back to before the registry corruption occurred is a option

Said that the link does not support my version of Windows.

what is your version of windows

Thanks caperjack.
Also for thumbnails.

Internt Explorer does not show in Programmes and Features,

===========

so it doesn't show in the updates section of programs and features

explorer.exe 13356K Windows

this is not in reference to internet explore ,its windows explorer ,[my-computer ]
seems it should be .maybe virus related ,did you
scan computer for viruses
==========
check programs and feature again just to be sure ,details below
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/how-do-i-install-or-uninstall-internet-explorer-9

============try again to download ie9 and run the install

it sure wouldn't hurt to try another keyboard .what type of keyboard and mouse is it USB or PS2
you get to safe mode by hitting the f8 key, will only work for you if the keyboard works before windows is started ,

check programs and feature in the control panel to see, View installed updates ,and see IE shows ,see image below

if you didn't backup registry before making the changes to it ,then i suggest a system restore back to the day before you edited the registry .

instruction here .http://tinyurl.com/ykgps6

did you check control panel ,top right of daniweb and check edit option on the left for avatar and images to make sure they didn't get changed

http://www.piriform.com/speccy

Speccy seems to be the latest software [ one i use for past while anyway ]suggested for computer info .when installing if you install it ,make sure to uncheck installing any toolbar ,
after the scan completes if you mist to post results here for help with it , go to file and click on publish snapshot and copy to clipboard and copy link into your next post ,good luck

most fee driver scans eventually want to sell you drivers or put malware/spyware on you computer

i would also like to add this ,it by my experience to be careful learning about tweaking your computer as some tweaks can cause unwanted problems for you and your OS .

nice links for sure ,having a look at pcguide it getting a little long in the tooth[old]2004 and even the update link on the left was still talking P4 cpu /motherboard

Hi,

Thank you for you suggestion, and helping me.

so the R530 cannot be compatible with the SSD?

More power to you always.

as long as the ssd drive fits into the harddrive compartment it will work

which the hard disk and pressing F10

you don't need to hit f10 ,after you set the boot priority to hard drive ,just reboot and let it boot on its own ,don't hit f10,

if you had a good working computer before the format and install of win7 U ,it not likely its a harddrive problem see what happens

Wonderful attempt altogether and great discussion, as I am new to this so do not know much about it. But soon will learn and add value to this. Thanks for sharing it.

you forgot to add your spam link i think

except those that comes in a yellow box or red box....

i think for clarity,and newbies to computer security they should be named ,Norton and McAfee

aver you installed the nvideo driver did you go to setting and pick a resolution supported by you monitor.

select a video resolution info .

your welcome, good luck

yes ,it good for one year ,been there done that ,on other peoples computers not my own ,i have no need for a paid antivirus program ,find them to annoying

well is the driver for windows 7 available.if yes,then i can again format it and install 7 and then install the driver.

sure , all of the win7 drivers need for it here .

yes i downgraded from vista to xp but when downgraded the computer was totally formatted.

just trying to get a handle on what you done ,you didn't answer all the question i had in my last post ,like how long ago did you downgrade the os ,
the fact it was formatted means nothing ,my question is where did you get the winxp drivers for the computer if Compaq doesn't have them on there site .did the device work at first with xp ,

ya i downgraded frm vista to xp

did yo utry installing the vista drivers in the link i posted above !???

given that there is no xp drivers on the Compaq/hp website where did you get the necessary xp drivers for the computer ,how long ago did you do downgrade

them maker is compaq
model- sg3630Il
prod no.- nc641aa#acj

compaq doesn't show driver for wixp for this model ,did you downgrade to winxp from vista .if so this may be the problem with the network adapter

link to vista driver not sure if it will work with xp .

update network drive might help ,also update xp tp sp3 ,

check device manager for the network adapter and try updating it or delet it and reboot computer to reinstall the driver .maybe!!

what is the make and model # of the computer .
maybe we could direct you to updated device drivers fo it

are you running windows xp sp3 ,if not you should be .to check right click on mycomputer icon ,go properties it will say there what Service pack you have installed .

from the info in the image you posted it looks like a issue with the network device or network device driver issue

to see all the bsod 's listed give this a try ,

Double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All.
Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

download blue screen viewer from above link and install and run it to read the dump file created by windows ,go to edit and copy selected items and post it here if you wish ,

I got another one, this one has arrows, and when I hold it on the side, one arrow points to my left and the other down, does this mean I place the left arrow one so that it faces the back panel?

yes

did you check to make sure the network card/device in the winxp machine had proper drivers installed

agree with dimsums.

copy /paste.
If RAM fills up, the processor needs to continually go to the hard disk to overlay old data in RAM with new, slowing down the computer's operation

plug it in holding it in you hand ,turn it on, and see what way it blows the air

Could I make the powersupply bigger?

nope ,they don't make one ,[well maybe one with just a few more watts than your own or yours actually could be the biggest made to fit that box as i don't know the wattage of yours im only assuming] , that will fit in the box,
your option would be to buy a larger case with a more powerful power supply and move your motherboard to it ,having said that the little Acer was never intended to be a gamer.

what type of games do you intend to play/use, or is gaming actually the reason you want to add the new video card

I really want to put a new video card in my computer but I have no clue where it is. HEre is a video I put:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_J2URmAeHI

you don't have a video card ,you have integrated video device ,a chip built into the motheboard ,and it not likely you will be able to run much of a card anyway because of the power supply in that emachine .the black slot at the top right corner is a be a pci-E slot it would take a low profile card ,you are not going to make a gaming computer out of that tower'

also one of your parents just called and she said to tell you to clean your room .lol

try hitting f10 on bootup it may give you access to the factory recovery partiton

HI caperjack,
thanks for that. I thought that the installation would stop when the system tries to install the usb drivers. Any chance that could happen?

no,if you get the option to boot from a usb device in the BIOS,or boot option [sometime found when hitting f10 or f12 on bootup ] it will not need to install usb drivers

it should work ,set the boot order option to usb device/cdrom

I have it taken apart. To get to where the LCD plugs into the motherboard, all I have to do is pop the plate the is above the keyboard, off. That plate just has the on/off button and a couple other buttons on it. After I pop that plate off I can plug and unplug the LCD to the motherboard. I have plugged in 2 different LCD's so far. Now, there was no 100% guarentee that both LCD's worked, so I am ordering a whole LCD setup and will plug that in and see if that might be it. I will keep ya updated.

good luck .
yeah ,that all i have to do to,mine is a presario cq50.last time i rerouted the wire to under the hinge and it kept working for close to 4 months now ,but the white screen comes and goes when i move the lid ,till it gets really bad i will have to take it apart soon

Humor is good........how about a solution, LOL

i agree ,but i don't have a solid answer ,just an opinion ,and i think it a bad connection between the lcd and the motherboard ,the laptop im using right not has a bsad connection and goes white with lines but i fix it by opening and moving the wires from the lcd a bit and its good for a few months then starts over ,and its time to take it apart and fix it now

Lol. Half of your post is repeating mine.

sorry to repeat a good suggestion ,but i stopped reading your comments /post a long time ago .lol

riddle me this , if it shows on an external monitor ,how could it be a video card problem ,sounds more like a bad lcd[cable/plug] connection to the motherboard problem to me ,did the new lcd screen you bought come with its own connection or are you using the original cable

Your hard drive is fauly, follow caperjack's advice.

and you needed the model # to tell that ,lol

if its still under warranty then return it ,its broke

take it back to where you bought it,its defective

right click on [my]computer ,click on manage,go to disk management ,does it show in the list there,if so what does it say ,like active/system ,ect ect

as rch1231 said try safe mode ,hitting f8 on start up ,choose safe mode

I don't know if its possible to install another pci card on my laptop. Where those audio connectors will be then?

sorry didn't realize it was a laptop.
i never recommend those driver programs.and i think that Asus site is the best and only place to get the drivers from .
on there site the oldest drovers are winxp 2006,and vista 2007

i guess if everything else works ok ,you could disable the onboard sound and go out check at local computer store to see if they have a pci sound card for it ,that is compatible with win7
