Going to be very weak on gaming as it has IGP. I also can't believe it weighs over 8lbs. What a beast. But sure it looks good to me and for $517 not like you have lots of other options. I think it is good for what it is.

The 1st Google I did your post is 1st link, ha ha. 2nd is this, link, go to Self Test Beep Error Messages (last chapter). Your beep code is 1-4-2 which sadly means a memory issue in the 1st 64KB. Sorry but not looking good for you at the moment.

You can't do anything. It looks like a password was set up. Short of that you are out of luck. Of course other than a reinstall.

Are you going to face VAT? I mean that mostly on a notebook. Can you get Asus or Clevo there? MSI notebooks. If not desktop is the way to go. On a notebook if you have? The VAT is going to kill you on ones I would recommend. Desktop and netbook is the way to go.

Nevermind

That 3DMark score is actually very good. How about you cut to the chase and tell us what notebook it is? I have ideas but I want to know model.

The first question you must answer is do you want the best performance or mobility? Your current notebook is going to be fine except for gaming type things. What do you do with your system. What is your budget? I am a mobile guy but I would be hard pressed recommending my current or the...

£24 might be worth it. OC is fun and you might want to play with it later. But yea you would be fine with 2600. But if you really don't want to OC have you considered i5 2500. I only suggest because the performance is very close and if you are not bleeding edge you could save a few £.

Make sure shows up in Device manager. If it is I suspect a yellow triangle. If not there a hardware problem I think. If in device manager install drivers. XP is the same OS as before.

I'll be honest the only ones I have strong opinion on is Linux for Web, Android for mobile. I like Windows for home use because it is what I use and think it generally has the greatest software/hardware options. I don't have a strong opinion on the rest. I lack the expertise.

I'll have a go. Best OS for web development.= Linux Best OS for games(PC, Nintendo, etc.) developers.= Windows Best OS for programmers.= Don't know Best OS for an office.= W7 Pro Best Os for home.= W7 HP Best Mobile OS.= Android

Being in the States makes it harder for me to tell prices being good or bad. The triple channel memory kit I think is a must. The 1155 socket is a great suggestion but I can understand if for whatever reason not an option. If you do go 1155 back to even number of RAM DIMM's. Edit: RAM...

I agree the SW is nicer but out of budget. I do not see very big difference in gaming since GPU is more important and the 740QM is a good CPU. I have a different version G73 but I really like it. I like the build the feel the look. And the backlit keyboard is so nice in the dark. I say go...

wolfe is correct. Just Google anything like "sata on XP" and you will get many results. On finding individual XP drivers. Yes that is a long search. Look for same or similar hardware on system running XP and try those drivers. It is very possible you will never get full functionality. That...

The guy made his paycheck that week nothing more.

Cheaper than DeLL, HP and AlienWare? But other than that you might be correct, but I doubt!;)

Do this! That said I would suggest you do as you suspect. This is bogus software. Do not click on and you will never have to do JohnB's fix! JohnB is driving home right now.

These are the instructions JohnB will post. I hope it helps as expediency helps.

It is very fast if nothing else. It goes very deep, It can be scheduled. The others cannot.

XPS are you the most impressionable poster on the Internet? OK SmartDefrag is the best because of the level it goes to, It's speed, and scheduling. I guess if none of that matters sure have a love fest with the others.
