So I'm trying to be the good girlfriend here and get this solved. My boyfriend bought a Gateway DX4320-17 desktop about a month ago. He had an HP before it with Vista on it and it's only a year old. BOTH of the computers can not stay online at all. He gave up on the HP, got the Gateway because...

Hello! I own Windows 7 x64 running on a new Acer Aspire laptop - 4GB RAM, Intel Core i3 2.13GHz, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (1GB own memory). When I switch the computer on, the drive makes a characteristic sound - it is spun up, and its head is placed over the plates. When I turn computer off...

Ever since I bought Win7 I've played games on it. The operating system is a great platform, but recently I've had lots of issues with it. Okay, earlier I was starting up my machine and like when the four colors come up and the loading bar comes up with the "Windows 7" thing, it would not go to...

I don't know what causes that. Recently switched to Win7 from XP & I can't understand why my PC starts lagging so bad after a few hours of use & forces me to reboot. I got 2 gb of RAM (which is enough). I do the usual stuff.. browse web, watch movies & play games mostly. But after a few hours of...

Link Removed and weird things are happening, like as above. The bottom right shows me as not online, and a utorrent icon hiding away behind. And in the main screen, it shows all my boxes etc have reverted to what looks like windows 98 style. Also I can't defrag because task scheduler isn't...

Hey! I got Windows 7 about a month ago and just recently my Pavilion dv6 has started to overheat and just a couple days ago the internet has started to lag. Overheating: I can't figure out why the laptop is overheating as it is not a dust issue and only started once I got Windows 7. When...

Is their a way to "fake" ram or gigahertz? what I mean is put and external hard drive or flash/jump drive and make it act like you added ram or gigahertz? when I use my editing program (adobe premiere pro cs3) with my computer it lags a bit at some points.. I am editing 720p video. -thanks

I posted a little bit ago, but no one replied so I think no one knows lol. Basically, Windows 7 has downgraded gaming performance from XP. However, this might be caused by my card now using DX 10 instead of DX 9...I don't know. Even when I force DX 9 it still isn't as smooth though. Windows...

I have done pretty much everything I can think of to fix this problem. I have a: 3.0 Ghz Dual Core Intel cpu 4670 HD Radeon ATI graphics card 4 GB Ram 500 GB HD Internet connection is fine... I recently upgraded to Win 7 because I wanted to be able to take advantage of DX10-11, and will be...

Out of nowhere the startmenu, hovering over objects on the taskbar, right clicking desktop to menu, using task manager: all of these are now very slow. The thing is periodically it will run fine even though I have the same number of applications running and haven't really changed anything...
