I have a desktop that I want to upgrade the CPU. I want a Pentium D 960 but they are a bit expensive, at least the one’s I can find. I have found some 950’s but I have a question. Pentium D 950 Xeon are a lot cheaper that the Pentium D 950 that is not labeled Xeon. Are the CPU’s different or...

The monitor works if I connect it to another computer. One thing I forgot to mention in my original post was that the monitor was working with the computer mentioned. I had to computer updating to version 1903 and when I came back the monitor was black and hasn't worked on that computer since...

I have been having some of the strangest, at least for me, problems lately. Here’s the present problem. I updated the motherboard in a desktop to an FM-A55M-E33 board. I installed W10 and everything was fine. I updated the computer to the latest version and now when the desktop is booted...

I have a problem on a self built computer with an Asus F2A55-M LK Plus board. Here's the problem. When I boot the computer, two monitors extended, it probably will either boot to the primary or secondary screen as if it had only one monitor. Or it will boot and the primary screen will boot...

I have an Acer Aspire X1300 desktop. I had been streaming netflix through an HDMI cable. The power flicked off and came back on and since I have not been able to stream netflix from the Acer. When I put the flatscreen on HDMI all I get is a black screen with "no signal" showing. Could...

I have an Acer Aspire x1300 running Windows 7. The computer came with Vista, but I used a Windows 7 install disk to install 7. The computer crashed. I replaced the HD, formatted and installed W7. Here's my problem. I partitioned 1 GB to install XP Pro SP3. I want the XP to run programs...

I have an Acer Aspire x1300 that is running W7, upgraded from Vista. I am trying to dual boot XP with W7. I have partitioned a space on the HD for XP and formatted the space. But every time I try to load XP from my XP, SP3, installation disk I get the following message: "Check your...

Well, guys I don't know what to say. I was sitting in front of the tab trying to figure out something to do, and the darn thing connected by itself. Now I am not a computer geek, but I can do a lot with a computer and I have never seen this before. Oh, well, it's working now. Thanks for the...

Well, it was working, and then stopped, so I had entered the correct security password. In the control panel I went into Network and Sharing Center and when I clicked on "See full map" I got a message that said the adapter was disconnected. Well, I don't know what to say, as I was typing...

This tab is running W7

The wireless had been working and the last few days it won't connect to the internet. The icon in the bottom right shows it is not connected. The tablet says that there is a network available, but every time I try to connect I get a message that says can't connect. Don't know what to...

I was looking in C:/ WINDOWS and I saw a lot of files that looked like this one-$NtUnistallKB970430$. What does this mean and is it safe to delete them. There are 118 of such files listed.

No can do. As I stated after the first repair where the computer was working fine, the HD stopped working. That is the reason that I replaced it, it stopped working. Maybe it was a co-incidence that the virus got past my AV and then the HD just went bad, but bad it is. Thanks.

The HD completely stopped working. After the virus I repaired the OS with my XP install disk. It worked for a couple of days and then would not boot. I tried to repair it again and nothing I did would get the HD to work.

Here is my problem. I have a computer that got a virus and I had to replace the HD. The computer came with an 80 GB HD in SATA 0. I had installed a 500 GB HD on SATA 1 to increase my memory. The 80 GB drive was the boot drive. When the virus got past my AV I had to replace the HD. I had...

Thanks John.:):)

I have an Acer Aspire X1300 computer running Vista, SP2. IMO Vista is a piece of junk and I have and install disc for Windows XP Pro, SP3 that I would like to install. I would like to remove Vista and install XP, but wonder how much trouble that would be. Would I have to download different...

Thanks for the reply. In the utility setup the HDD/SSD is listed and beside it it says "none". So for some reason the computer is not recognizing the HD. Thanks again.

I bought my son a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5132 laptop running Windows 7 for Christmas. He used the laptop about a week ago, and a couple of days ago tried to use it and it won't boot. Most of the time when the computer is turned on there is simply a blank screen. Sometimes a scree will show...

Hey, guys, I just went to my computer room, the computer I am now on is in my study, and opened the floppy's on an IBM that has an internal floppy drive in it. It opened the floppy, I could access all the files. Wouldn't that suggest that when I had the IDE floppy drive in this computer and...
