    Help With A Computer

    So far i get what your saying, not. What is the issue? From what i understand the computers been on for 2 years, you replaced the monitor and bought a new gpu. Your asking what the problem might be, but you havent told us what is going on except that something might burn out.

    let me borrow your os (please)

    Best bet is to just ask around for a disk. I doubt anybody put a backup partition on the computer so you cant run a pc fix utility on it.

    let me borrow your os (please)

    No, its a service pack. Can you even get into the computer? If it has internet go there and download it, or if you can put it on disk do that and then load it up into the computer. Ive never tried putting a service pack on CD but i guess you could try.

    Computer beeping?

    Hold down the power button until it turns off and try turning it back on. Next time use the start>shut down or make an icon on your desktop for a shutdown or restart button, if you want directions on how to do that id be glad to post em.

    WINDOWS VISTA now or should i wait

    nah, they have 32 bit x86 and they have 64 bit. I would buy the 32 bit and no, i doubt within the next 3 months the price will go down, but i am not definately sure. They are coming out with a service pack sometime soon too, so thats something to consider.

    WINDOWS VISTA now or should i wait

    The only thing with drivers that you need to worry about is the old old ones, if your getting a new system dont worry about it. Most programs or hardware are coming out with vista specific drivers and software, so all in all if your system is 3 or so years old, id say your safe.
