Try updating the chipset drivers for your laptop. And if there aren't any newer drivers available try uninstalling/reinstalling your current drivers.

Did you try google? there's plenty of software that can do this, take a look here..

What operating system is your laptop running? windows 7/vista? Reinstalling your operating system is pretty straight forward and will erase everything on your laptop as long as all the data is on one partition. Though if you've never done this before it might be daunting at first. There's a ton...

Oh i didn't realise that item was located in hong kong :S lol sorry, i wouldn't have linked to it if i did. I'm glad i helped though :)

This one should be perfect for you: Link ....FYI, your hard drive needs an enclosure compatible with IDE hard drives.

Gosh i hope so, mine RROD'd twice :mad: i just gave up in the end....

System restore is useless tbh, i always have it disabled as it just uses disk space and other resources. What i suggest you try is when starting your pc, wait for the beep and then press F8. Should see a set of options for safe mode etc, but basically you need to select the option that says...

I think having a netbook+desktop is a great idea. Can't even think of any real cons to this to be honest. I can however think of plenty cons of having just a mid range laptop... Anyone disagree?

To add to Bodaggit23's tip there are few more services you should turn off. Doing this should speed up your notebook. Here are the ones i disable on mine: Automatic updates Error reporting service Fast user switching Help and support Indexing service Print spooler (if you don't have a printer)...

No it won't cause problems. The BIOS will take care of everything when you swap out for the new.

I don't see any problem with buying used computer items, just do a bit of research on it first. Mac books are pretty sturdy and reliable.

Take a look at this maybe? http://www.amazon.com/SiPix-Pocket-Palm-Printer-Blue/dp/B00005LDPR It's uses infrared for wireless, plus it's super small compared to regular printers.

Midnight_fox1 that product you posted is only to add sata capability to a motherboard that does not come with sata ports. You are aware of that right? The item 0mega posted is probably what you're looking for, but tbh i think you would be better off convincing your dad to use sata drives instead.

Well asuming you have ran a memory torture test program, or memory test for atleast 8 hours. I would say everything is fine.

The hard drive is 250GB but how many partitions have been made? Maybe you have 2 partitions, one C:/ and a D:/ drive. Where C:/ has been setup as only 26GB or something.

Your hard drive does not require drivers. All you need to do is either format the drive or set it up in computer management. So try this; Right click 'My computer' and select manage. The computer management window should appear. Now select disk management. You should now see the status of your...

Yea it states in the specs that it has a max expandable memory capacity of 1.5GB and 512mb is already soldered to the motherboard. So i think that all you can do is swap out the other 512mb sodimm and put in a 1GB sodimm.

What is the operating system that you have on your old computer and your new computer? win xp, win 98? etc. Some more information would help.

Yea DDR 533 can be a bottleneck depending on your setup, but you can always overclock. But then again i just realised that you have an ASRock 780G which means the memory controller is built into the processor. So in your case DDR800 and DDR533 won't make all that of difference. On AMD setups...

Well there are a few programs you could use, personally i've managed to do exactly what you've described using norton ghost. There are others like acronis true image. You might be able to get a trial version for either one. Not sure if there are any free software out there but i know the two i...
