on my girls comp, she has had none stop problems with her keyboards. she started with a logitec wireless, after a while, it wouldn't respond. broke out the old generic IBM PS/2 keyboard, and after a few minutes, it would fail. The only way to get it to work was to remove it from device...

OK< it's literally been a year since I have even considered upgrading, and I haven't read anything on all the new tech out there... Is there anywhere I can go to get the basics of what is what?? Particularly with motherboards... The last things I read about were sata, USB2, DDR dual...

My comp fell an enormous distance down a flight of stairs... the case is totalled, but it did fire up. The only damage to the mobo seems to be a small cap, which is totally missing, located by a USB port that is used for case USB plugs. since it fired up, seemingly fine, can I determine...
