Hi, I am trying to fix a friends 600M. Her display is whack. Basically, when you try moving say an IE or AIM chat window, it's really choppy. Move the mouse fast enough and you'll see the same window 5 times. I thought it was a driver problem, but I couldnt really tell if she has integrated...

Hi I don't know jack about Apples but I got my sister one anyways. Anywho, last night when I was just finishing the rebates on her computer, I noticed she had about 19 gigs left. I thought that was pretty good considering all the mp3s and pictures I transferred over from a desktop. I went to...

Hi, I was wondering what would be a good video-editting program for PCs. I was using iMovie today on an Apple and it was very simple and had a lot of features. I also have Premiere on my computer, but it seems very hard to use. Any suggestions anyone?

My 600M runs hot. I don't know why. I found if I kept it tilted on a book or something, it'll run a few degrees cooler. My fan on the bottom seems kind of dusty so how do I go about cleaning it?

I got a Dell Inspiron 600M and it runs at avg 109 for CPU and GPU and like 115 for the HDD. The laptop seems relatively warm/hot to me. I turn it off occasionally and it's my main computer. I don't know if I should worry, but I wish it would run cooler. What temps do you guys get on your...

Hi, my friend has a 600M and so do I. However, her CD-ROM fails to work and her replacement is coming in the mail soon I believe. But she lost some files and she watns to reformat and I was wondering if I could just swap my CD ROM into hers w/o any problems? Do I need to remove screws and all...

I got a Dell 600m and I got an extra Samsung 172N LCD and I want to use it as a dual monitor. However, when I go to display properties, I can't get what I want to show up on the monitor. Basically, the center of my wallpaper is all that shows up. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks.

I hear a whiney sound from my computer. It sounds like my desktop LCD when I have the brightness setting too low, but I don't think it's coming from the screen. Also, if I close my laptop b/c I have to run out for 30min or something and when I come back to use my computer, it seems to be...

Should I reformat as soon as I get my laptop? How do I get all my drivers back?

Hi, I jumped on that Dell deal a few days ago and I believe the HDD that comes with it is 4200RPM. From past experience, I believe that HDDs tend to bottleneck great computers and I was wondering if you guys think if upgrading to 5400 or 7200 is worth it or necessary. Also, it says 32MB of...

Wasn't quite too sure where to post this, but I read somewhere that it isn't good/safe to power your fans from the HDDs? I have an Antec 1080 case and I could have a cleaner wire setup if I jsut powered my fans with the cables from the HDD. Anyone know if the above statement is accurate?

I get this message: "Tip T101 - Large memory systems (1GB or greater) should be ECC/Parity. Since the probability that a bit will be corrupt is the same or increases with module density, the bigger the module, the bigger the overall probability that you will get one or more corrupted bits...

Anyone with this case think the stock fans that are placed to the rear are a bit loud? They sound like jets to me IMO. Anyone else think so? and who have swapped them out with different fans think it made the computer significantly quieter? Also, can anyone direct me to a site that teaches...

I was looking through the BIOS and there was no place where I could change the FSB speed. There is a part under the "Advanced" tab I believe that lists my processor and speed, but it's in gray and I can't access it. Does my mobo not suppport OC'ing?

My friend and I decided to backup some DVDs we had laying around in our houses and wanted to see whose computer encodes faster. Anyhow, in some cases, he gets a faster fps than I do. I rarely have a faster fps, but generally we are still around the same. I thought P4's were better in this area...

On my HP case, what I am assuming is called the I/O panel (where mouse,keyboard hook up to), there is a black piece that says "Do not Remove" that is fastened by two screws. Last time, trying to remove the motherboard, I believe that was the only thing holding the motherboard in. I can'ts eem to...

According to MBM5, my case CPU is normally at 39 degrees Celcius. Is that good or bad?

I have a SMC Barrcade 4-port router and sometimes I have friends over and we enjoy playing Starcraft over Battle.net, but for some reason, we can't play in the same game without any lag. If it's just ourselves, there is no lag, but anyone outside the router/network, the game lags like crazy. I...

I really don't know a thing about OC'ing, but after reading through so many forums, I want to do so myself for the performance gains. I have a P4 2.67GhZ processor the 533mhz version. Anybody willing to explain to me how to OC in lame-man's terms?

For a long time, I've been building my computers myself until last year my mom at her own liberty decided to buy me a HP computer b/c she has $250 off coupon. I didn't complain since it was a P4 2.6 and I was running on an Athlon 1G. However, I really hate the case and it's the only thing that...
