she does have the repair disk. I already told her to clean the case, and be careful around the mobo. Then use the recovery disk to reinstall windows. Who knows how long this will take her lol. I will post again when I got something

Ok well its not the heat thing. Her comp is running hot but I was able to get into the BIOS and she will clean it. I think the problem is her HDD is corrupted. When she goes to start it it tells her to repair windows that a recent hardware change could have caused the problem. Since that is not...

The comp shuts off before windows even starts up. So I can't run any programs to check for errors. The comp otherwise is only 3 years old. It does not alarm before it shuts down. I will have her go into the BIOS and tell me what the temps are. That is if it stays on long enough Thanks guys. I...

Hey all, My GF comp is acting up. It shuts down on its own and when she trys to run the repair it also shuts down. I am not sure what the problem is since I can't get any info. Her comp is an emachine with a amd sempron CPU. Has this happened to anyone before? Any info would help me fix the...

i thought the athlon 3800 was a dual core. My mistake guys. But save some money and upgrade to atleast a dual core. Forget the single to single upgrade

make the jump. Going from a single to a dual core will really improve speed. Otherwise take Abstracts advice and upgrade mobo, ram and CPU.

Muffin Man, Sometimes like with my board in order to be in Dual channel with 2 sticks it requires using one of the colors, not interchangeable. I do agree its one or the other color though.

I think their missing a 1 in front of that but someone should try and see if they honor the price.

I didn't mean my exhaust was down. My fan exhausts towards the top with a top fan. However this does not pull air over the RAM DIMMs like a rear exhaust setup and I didn't know if that would cause problems.

I guess my board is just crazy lol. My fan faces down or up not right to left. you guys have me wondering if this is a problem?

nice sounds good. I should have added 4 wheelin to my list. Thats a blast with a few in ya

I have the same cooler and problem. The ram will fit and the cooler will too but its real tight. I loosened up my screws on the bracket 2-4 turns and now i can slide a piece of paper through. sorry just looked at your pic and the cooler is not facing the same as mine. the fan on mine is...

wow OP was just totally removed from his own post. Did he even get his question or problem taken care of?

i'd go with what he recommends minus the Walmart part.

Ok you talked me into it. I'm going to throw something together just to give you an idea on price comparison and performance. BRB it signed me out and I lost it all. Abstract will build you something nice. I got you around $600 total build with a dual core i5 and around $650 for a quad core...
