My PC time and date is automatically changes every time I restart the PC. This is a very old machine and has the below configuration:

Motherboard: MSI

Processor: Intel Celeron 2.26 GHz

RAM: Twinmos 512 DDR1

I am running Windows XP and my PC configuration is like as follow:

Motherboard: Intel® Desktop Board DG41RQ

Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Processor

RAM: Kingston DDR2 SDRAM

The problem is that I can’t access the DVD RAM and brand is ASUS (PATA) 22x DRW-22B2S. I have tried to resolve it by changing the bus and power cable. Though it is showing a green light but still I can’t see the DVD RW Drive on the drive list. But in device manager the drive in the list and seems like it is completely ok. Please give a reasonable suggestion to get rid of this problem.

I am unable to install Windows XP from the installation CD.

A windows Setup blue screen comes up, but then all goes black. I tried different CDs with the same result.

One solution to this may be to install Windows 98 and then upgrade to XP.

But it is too much time consuming and I want to install XP directly from CD. I have upgraded my RAM from 256 MB to 512 MB.

The configuration of my desktop is: Motherboard – Intel Pentium 4 (845 series), Processor – 2.25 MHz. RAM-512.

I am having a problem to my PC. Yesterday, I transferred my PC into another room and I disassembled all of its parts and peripherals for easy transportation.

When I connected the parts and peripherals into their proper ports, started using the computer and when it started booting up, this shocking error had appeared

“Equipment config error.Press ctrl alt del to enter setup or press F1 to continue. ”

I referred to the user manual that I have and checked if some parts and peripherals  were not properly mounted to their respective ports but I found out that everything were in the proper position. Please help me on how to rectify this concern. Thanks for the help.

Any simple thought please about this concern.  I left my computer overnight with some of the opened programs running. When I went back in the morning, it was already in the off mode. When I started it, it performed scandisk and booted normally. The booting process took very long time and so I got irritated about it. I restarted it again and I was shocked with this error message that appeared on the screen

“Cannot write to drive C.”

Can you please tell me what the problem on my computer is?  I have also initiated system restore as a recommendation from a friend but the same thing had been repeatedly happening. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

I need some tips for taking care of my pc. After every some days dusts make my CPU dirty inside and outside. Especially my monitor is attacked by dust every day.

How can I easily remove that dust from inside and outside my CPU? How can I keep my CPU clean every day easily? Should I use any kind of fluid for the cleaning? What kind of fluid can I use? I really need to know.

I have found very recently that a whirling sound is coming from my CPU. It was not so acute before. I could not figure out where from the sound in exactly coming. I am really tensed about that sound.

Someone please help me to figure out what really the sound is. Is it harmful for my computer? What can I do to get rid of the sound? The sound is increasing day by day.

I've created and developed a home server so I decided and choose to go ahead and put it downstairs in a closet with the modem and wireless router.

To complete so I had to run cat6 from the closet to my desktop up stairs and also a run from the closet towards the apple television within the living room. I finished everything up and set up the apple TV to pull or drag all my movies from the server just fine, I also got all our laptops to connect to the internet just fine also.

I used Windows XP for a long time but my brother preferred to change it on Windows Vista. I am not that fan of Vista because I found it hard and little keen on its desktop theme. Vista's desktop theme with its new windows start button is not that good, i am getting hard and rid of it. So, I wanted to try and download Windows XP theme.

Is it possible that I will use XP them in Vista. Is XP theme will work at vista? Can someone please help me to find a XP theme to download as replacement of Vista theme.

I have been through the same problem ever since I displaced my desktop computer from one room to another. I was used to that in the past but now these vertical lines appearing on my computer screen are becoming too annoying. For a start I used to tap the screen to make the line disappear but recently the problem has become too complex.
