everything you had on the hard drive , you can assume safely has been copied That means that your entire identity has now been placed in the hands of hackers as to how to fix , you could download to an external hard drive all the files and folders you can make sense of, then reformat the hard drive in the computer and reinstall a win os and start again install a good security /virus program then run a check on the external hard drive to remove any installed virus /malware lesson learned is ---everything on a computer is in the hard drive if you want to lend , sell or other wise dispose of --always remove the hard drive first

just release the switch at the bottom side of your laptop. there's an instructions there.

You could do two things. First I would download malwarebytes, update it and run a quick scan. I would thendownload Microsoft Security Essentials and install it. It's free. If you have XP or higher, you could do a system restore to a date prior to you having problems.

If you have a wired connection on the desktop the try to check the ethernet cable and try to pug out the cable from the modem and the desktop the swap the ends of the cable and ug them back and check the internet ,,, it gona work

one problem i see is that your DVD drive is not properly cleaned or maintained. if that is so, you can just buy a CD, DVD lens cleaner and let it run onto your drive but if if this fails, maybe the lens is actually damaged. there are also DVD RW combo drives that reads only CDs after a long time use. this is cause by the lens' capability to detect DVDs or CDs played. as time goes by, lenses wears out.i suggest that if this is your problem, try to buy a new drive for your PC.

hshorty,

When you press the plastic Power On button, it in turn presses against a Power On switch.
The Power On switch is located inside the plastic Power On button.

This is an example of a generic ATX Power On switch,

http://www.directron.com/atxswitch.html

The switch completes a circuit.
(The Power On switch is a Momentary Contact Switch. Makes a brief contact, then opens back up)

The circuit the Power On switch completes, is the 5 Volt Standby circuit.
When a Power Supply is plugged into power, there is a constant 5 Volts (DC) present.
Closing this 5 Volt Standby circuit, momentarily 'excites' the Power Supply, and turns the Power Supply on.

Power goes to the Motherboard, and Peripherals, (Harddrive, optical drive/s, and so on)
The first chip to receive power is the BIOS chip.
(Chip and Chipset are slang terms for I.C. Integrated Circuit)

The BIOS program on the BIOS chip, looks to see what devices are installed, does a Ram Memory count, TURNS the Processor on, and hands the computer over to the O/S.
(O/S = Operating System. Windows XP is one example of an O/S)

Your Power Supply doesn't even have enough power to light those LED lights, much less turn the Processor on.

A) ALL the LED lights together, use less than 1 Watt of power.

B) EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts.

C) A typical Processor can use 51 to 125 Watts. Depends on what Processor it is. (Older Processors use less than 51 Watts)

If this problem is in reference to a Compaq Presario SR5130NX desktop computer, it comes with an Athlon 64 X2 - 3800+ Processor.

(Windsor Core. Also this Processor uses an AM2 processor socket)

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01048297&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3436820

This Processor can use up to 89 Watts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Athlon_64_microprocessors#.22Windsor.22_.28F2_.26_F3.2C_90_nm.29

Fans start to spin, and the LED power light is on for the Power Supply. When it's time to turn the Processor on, too much power is needed, and the Power Supply 'drops to it's knees'.

The Power Supply used is just a common ATX style of power supply. (Actually it is an ATX 12V 2.x)
Used in a LOT of personal computers out there, and is readily available.
It's a 300 Watt unit.

(The ATX form factor for this Power Supply, (Size and shape), is approximately 6 inches Long, 6 inches Wide, and 3-1/2 inches Tall)

Power cables from the Power Supply needed are;

A) 24-pin ATX main power cable (Main power cable to motherboard)

B) 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable, (Also known as P4)

C) At least one SATA power cable for the SATA harddrive, and additional SATA power cables, for each SATA optical drive.

(Your Presario may have come with SATA optical drive/s, or IDE {PATA} optical drive/s. Optical drive = CD/DVD drive)

D) If your Presario came with IDE, (Also known as PATA), optical drives, you'll need a standard 4-pin Peripheral power cable, for each drive.

E) The computer case fans, may each use a standard 4-pin Peripheral power cable. (The Processor fan attaches to the Motherboard)

F) The Memory Card Reader needs a Floppy Drive power cable. An auxiliary power cable.

An example of a compatible Power Supply,

Hi,

The freezing sounds like it's one of the components are bad. You need to do some testing of components that you can test. You said you increased your RAM to 2GB, Did you buy all new memory or did you add additional to your existing memory? Here's what components I believe could be causing the problem. It's either the memory, cpu, or possibly the hard drive (that is easy to test) Just run a chkdsk from cmd prompt and if it comes clean, then it's not the disk. The last component which is not typically the problem (but can be) is the motherboard itself could have a short. It's not software, or any virus, since you've restored, upgraded, an the like, that usually will wipe any viruses out. I for some reason get the feeling it's the CPU. You said it started from out of the box, and it's been randomly doing this for a couple of years. (your are a very patient person) I would test the CPU HEREs a free cpu tester. If it freezes during the test, then I'd say it's the cpu. If not then you need to start testing each componeant to make sure it's first a compatible part, and 2nd if it's in perfect working order.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks
Mark

Probably "Torx" which require a special tool

I found a bios up date.
You need to choose which operating system your are using.
here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=228&product=3436820&
It looks like they don't offer an update if your OS is XP but the newer OS's show a bios update.
let me know if this works

sounds like you have a driver or filter issue. this is not uncommon. give this a try to remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

dear friend.
the red X appears on the sonud icon in vista when the driver you have installed is incompatible withh the hardware.

try these steps
*check your speakers
if it fails
then


*go to device manager
*from the sound and video uninstall sound devices
*restart your pc
*the drivers should be detected by now

*if the above steps fail
*after uninstalling the sound devices
*click on search for hardware changes
*then proceeed with automatic install(make sure you are connected to internet)
note: the automatic driver installaion in vista is a bit slow so be patient.

If its an IDE cable (Flat wide one) ensure the last drive (Operating system) one is plugged in here set to MASTER, with the slave drive connected along this ribbon set to SLAVE.

If SATA cable usually narrow and red plug into any SATA port on the mobo, doesnt matter which order.

try uninstalling keyboard software then re install.....do reply back if this works

As you may be aware, Movie Maker doesn't natively burn DVDs. Or Video CDs (VCDs), which are playable by any DVD Players, but are of significantly lower quality than DVD.
What do you need to into DVD? How about MyDVD is the easiest and direct route, requiring little or no format conversion.
