At least 14 inches. Yes optical drive. About 160 gb. At least 1 gb ram. Weight doesn't matter.

I'm looking to buy a new laptop for around $300. Are there any decent ones for that price? It's not for gaming, just simple internet stuff.

I tested each stick in slot 3. Hmm maybe slot 4 caused the errors?

I'm not sure how many passes. I let it run for awhile and I went away and then when I came back it said passed at the bottom and it said hit esc to exit. It just seems weird how it had errors with both sticks in. Now I don't know if I should put the other one in or not. I only have 512 in right now.

But if the card is damaged in some way how come it will work in another computer? But not in the original computer it was in?

I tried the live cd with the laptop and it worked without freezing. So it's either bad ram or the optical drive. Ok so I tried the memory test one stick at a time and there were no errors on either of them. So I tried installing ubuntu with just one stick and it worked!! So I don't understand...

I forgot to mention that I'm burning the disc on a laptop and then using that disc on my computer. My computer is what's getting the ram errors.

I've used infra recorder and imgburn. Could bad ram cause it to freeze? Because I started doing the memtest and it was getting a lot of errors but I stopped it because it was taking forever and I didn't know how long it goes on for. Also I have my ram in slots 3 and 4 because for some reason...

I downloaded it from the ubuntu site. I checked the disk for errors and it found no errors though. I noticed that one of the discs got further into the process of installing than the others. But they all freeze at some point. Ok I downloaded it from the torrent and still freezes. Maybe it's...

Everytime I try to install ubuntu it wil freeze at some point. I tried 3 different burns. I also am trying it on a new hard drive. So do I have to format it first or something? It even freezes using it from the live cd. Specs: Asus A8V-E motherboard Amd athlon 64 3500+ cpu 1 gig of corsair ram

I tried a new psu. Could a usb over-current cause the video card to not work?

Yes I did.

The 8600 gts was working with that computer for over 3 years. Then one day it decided not to boot. The computer it doesn't work on specs: Asus crosshair Am2 motherboard Amd athlon 64 6000+ cpu 4 gig ddr2 ram Windows vista The computer it works on: Asus A8V-E (939 socket) Amd athlon 64 3500+ 1...

This is very strange. Ok so I have a computer that will not boot with a 8600 gts video card but it will boot with a 6600 gt. But the 8600 gts does work in another computer. I couldn't figure out why this computer wouldn't boot. So I bought another motherboard, psu, cpu, and still nothing. But...

Ok this happens randomly. I use both ie and firefox and they both get the ie/firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close. I think it might have something to do with a flash player but I'm not sure. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the adobe flash player. It's annoying and I don't...
