Computer frustration...Why does my notebook? I have an HP notebook with... >2.4 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 >1 GB Ram >Windows Vitsta Home Premium >Linksys/Cisco Wireless router - wrt54gs >Standard WEP Protection >Arris cable/telephone modem - Time Warner Here's my problem. I'm surfing the net with no problems, but... Here is the chain of events... -Pages start to load incompletely -BAM! I get the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage -The Internet goes out completely, just stops! -Nothing can connect The Strange part... -My computer is still connected to the router because I can print to the network printer attached to the printer, and I can still access my files on my desktop computer in the other room. File sharing remains in operation, but internet stops dead in it's tracks. -The computer still says i'm connected to the router and internet. -Then I have to restart the computer and after that it works fine for about 20 hours, then it does it again! Why, it's so frustrating? By the way... All of my modem lights remain normal.

Sony VGN-FZ240E No sound from notebook speaker, but have in headphone? I contacted my computer's support (Sony) for my notebook computer's sound problem and they said it was hardware after multiple troubleshooting. However, they didn't give me the info regarding what part and such and tried to get me to service my computer with them. I want to buy/repair on my own. What part or type of hardware do I have to purchase? Is it a sound card?

From Vista To XP On A Notebook? I'm thinking of going from Windows Vista to Windows XP on my notebook. No games can run at ALL. This is because I only have 1 GB of RAM and Vista needs 2 GB to run properly. When I say no games I mean no games. A very bad game such as MapleStory can't run... That's how bad it is. Since I know XP doesn't need as much RAM to operate it will be fine. Some questions though: 1) Since I'm going to downgrade to Windows XP (I have the CD for it) can it mess up my notebook in anyway which had Vista on it when I bought it? 2) If I do get Windows XP on my notebook, will/should games technically run and be played better now that more RAM is free for them? I know that it's not only RAM that affects the game - play but since I'm not going to be buying ANY computer parts for my notebook, switching OS's is the best I could do. Here are my specs for the notebook: OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (I'm not sure if it's 32 - bit or 64 - bit. I'm saying 32 - bit though) RAM: 958 Megabytes Installed Memory (1 GB) Dual Chanel CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 1.70 GHz Dual Core Motherboard: Quanta 30B7 65.28 Graphic Card: It's integrated: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Again, please answer my questions above. Thanks - you in advance.

Why can't I install the print server on my notebook computer? As part of the install process, you click on "Start." Then you click on "Printers and Faxes." But "Printers and Faxes" does not appear on the screen. Therefore, I cannot continue the process of installation. I have Windows XP home edition. I have a Lexmark "all in one" printer. Both my laptop and printer worked fine together before I installed the wireless router. I can still use the printer but have to connect it back to my laptop to use it. This defeats the purpose of the new wireless router with built in print server. Can anybody help me? I am not very computer savy but can follow directions if they are not too complicated. Thank you for any help you can give me.

How do I remove a domain from an old work computer? I've been given an old notebook from work. Is there any way I can sever the default domain so I can get the computer set up as part of my home network, short of completely reinstalling XP? My own user account has administrator priviliges. When I try to add a new user account with a new domain it won't allow it. Basically I just want to turn it into a home computer rather than a work computer without having to reinstall everything.

Best Notebook Audio Solution? I've been using an old pro PCMCIA sound card. I recently upgraded my notebook computer and the new one (ASUS G1S) only has an ExpressCard Slot so my old card is useless (plus it's outdated anyway). What is the best sound card/device for notebook computers right now? I work part time as a DJ so having two or more 1/8" headphone OUTputs is desirable. I've been looking into the Echo Indigo DJ, which is supposedly coming out on ExpressCard format soon. USB, FireWire, or ExpressCard works for me, just not the original PCMCIA. Thanks. X-mod cards only have one headphone output and they don't stack up well against pro-audio cards; So I guess the consensus is that the Echo is the best?

How will my new wireless PC notebook work with my current Apple Airport router? I have Verizon Online as an ISP in my home. I have an iMac which uses Safari to connect. I am about to buy a PC notebook (probably a Dell Inspirion) that will have wireless capability. So here are the questions: 1.Are all wireless routers universal, -compatible with all wireless-ready computers?? 2. What PC internet program would I use to connect to the internet, using, for instance, a Dell Inspirion notebook? 3. Will I need to install the Verizon Online software on my new laptop in order to connect to the internet, or will my wireless computer automatically access the internet via the wireless router, without any configuration on my part? 4. Am I overcomplicating this? Thanks, Dee

My notebook (Toshiba Satellite L100-194) shutdown without any warning & HDD or CPU makes noises? I have an L100-194 notebook, which was really good. I have two main problems. First, the HDD (or the CPU, I don't know) makes interesting noises. It likes "screaming". It occurs at least once in every hour. Just half or one second long and loud. The other thing is when my computer shutdown without any warning.Shutdown. No signs, no screens. It occurs in Ubuntu and in XP too. I hope someone can help me. But I think I have to go back to the store where I bought it. Someone told me that the problem maybe overheating related. If the temp rises to a critical level then the notebook shut downs to prevent the hardware from the damage. Possibly the cooling modules don’t work correctly and cannot cool the notebooks parts properly. Possibly the strange noise comes from the cooling module and the ventilators don’t work as should. What do yout think?

I know a lot about computer parts, but I'm still need a lot of help making my own computer. Here is a site I'm trying to customize my own computer in. Is there any way I can make it cheaper, but still have good performance? or at least a different site that has the same things for cheaper price?

I'm tired of lagging and next thing I know I die and shooting in slow motion all the time. I'm serious when I'm playing my fps games. This is my first real gaming computer, because I'm using a cheap laptop that can barely hold together on the lowest settings I can set. I'm so tired of lagging 24/7. Thanks everyone for the info. I'll upgrade a few things you recommend, but the site doesn't have some of those options so maybe after I get the computer I'll upgrade. For the moment I think I'll get a cheaper computer for now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229133R&cm_re=NVIDIA_GeForce_GTS_250-_-83-229-133R-_-Product Let me know if this computer is any good. I'm going to get the $1215 computer after I get a decent computer. For now I'm looking for a more possible goal that's under $600.

Does sony notebook (VAIO) come with Toshiba harddrive? I have a sony notebook computer (VAIO K37) that I purchased in Nov 2004. It had been working ok until recently the AC power plug was loose and I was not able to charge the battery. So I brought it to a local shop for repair. It took them more than 14 days to fix this simple problem. The tech kept saying that they were waiting for the part and could not give me my computer back. I knew something was wrong but eventually they fixed the power plug. Last night, my computer almost crashed, with an warning message that read:" SMART failure predicted on TOSHIBA harddrivexxxx......why am I having a toshiba harddrive on a sony notebook? Did the repair shop take my original hard drive? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I'm a poor student in Sri Lanka. Can anyone give me a used laptop or a notebook freely? Please E-mail me? I'm a poor student in Southern province of Sri Lanka. I think to do my higher education in Computer science. I bought a used PC last month. But according to my Degree status, I must have a mobile computer to do my works in the IT Institute. I't is not a easy thing to me. My parents don't have such a money to buy it. All computer parts are too expensive in our country. But I think, a person live in any other developed country may help me. Please, if you have any used old computer, you can send it to me, if you like for a donation. I can give you my trusted personal informations if you want. If you like to help me in this case please E-mail me. "chamalupulitha@yahoo.com". Thank you very much!

Anyone got advice for assembling a mini computer, battery operated, ethernet, 4 inch screen, windows xp etc? What I want is a portable computer, not a notebook on which I would like to develop applications. It should be hand carried, have an approximate 4 inch screen, be battery operated (and AC), run at least a 400MHZ CPU, have an ethernet port, at least 3 USB ports (mouse,keyboard,one other), must run windows XP. Also it should cost about half or less than the price of a notebook (Dell for example). If anyone knows of a company which produces such a system or where to start (self learning kits or websites which sell the parts?) I would be ever so grateful.

What is the name of this certain computer part, and where can I obtain one? My parents bought an Acer Aspire 5315 Notebook for me a few months ago. After having it for a few months, my hard drive broke, so I contacted the company. I sent in the hard drive to get a free replacement. When I removed the hard drive, I also removed a rectangular, three-sided metalic piece that screws into the hard drive and laptop itself and sent it in with the hard drive. When I got the new hard drive, this metalic piece was gone. I've contacted Acer multiple times to try to get a replacement, but no one seems to know what I am talking about when I describe the metalic piece. Does anyone know what that rectangular, three-sided metalic piece is called? Does it even really have a technical name? I wasn't sure if knowing the technical name would help me obtain one from Acer or somewhere else. That leads to my next question. Does anyone know where I could get one of those pieces that would fit my computer and hard drive?

I have a broken laptop. I want to remove the hardrive and wipe the memory. What works best to do this? Compaq EVO 2.0GHz Pentium 4 512MB/30GB DVD/CD-RW Notebook Computer. The laptop will not boot b/c of a bad power connection inside the case. I am parting out everthing but the hardrive.

I have about $750 to work with.Need Professional Digital Camera and PC/Notebook? I have $750 to spend. I need a professional digital camera. (5 MegaPixels or more, that would be good for a college digital photography class. The more features the better) I also need a new computer. It can be a laptop or tower. The tower can be built from separate parts. (Like from NewEgg or similar website).

Is my Gateway notebook badly damaged? I heard a crackling sound in my charger. It turns out one part of my charger is so bent, the rubber is cut off and you can see the metal wiring all bent. Obviously I am not using the computer anymore. Do you think this only damaged my charger or my computer? P.S Lately, my computer has been turning off by itself, and sometimes it does not turn on.

What's the Difference Between a 128mb nVidia Video Card and a 383mb? I'm thinking of buying a new Media Notebook (to be specific, a Dell Inspiron 1520 and HP dv6500t) and want a nVidia Video Card. Yet, i'm a bit confused about one part. Both Computers can be installed with the NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS. Yet, the HP has a 383mb version, while the Dell has a 128mb version. Is there a difference between the 2? And which is better to get?
