All your PC problems, Volume 2

Devil_forever · 1st June 2007, 14:58

I recently bought a new PC with Vista home premium. It's quite good.
200 GB hard drive
Vista home premium
Intel dual core
1 GB nvidia graphics card
1 GB of DDR 2 RAM
and loads of other things that I just don't understand.

Ok my dad set up everything for me. I went on the internet, launched every single program insight to check out what vista could do. I had no problems for the first 2 days. Then on the third day I had two I.E pages opened and then I opend microsoft office 2007 Word program, as soon as it started loading all my I.E pages just closed. I also have problems restarting, it can take up to ten mins at a time. I have reinstalled my office but still have same problems. When I took it back to the store, they refused to refund it but replaced my RAM it worked fine for about a week but then the same problems started again. When I took it back to the store again they said that the problem had been caused by one of my programs and thus they cannot replace it or refund me.

Now I'm left with having to use my old pc which has XP but it works perfectly.

Can someone please help?
p.s. I have tried reinstalling the OS as well

There's a sticky thread for all PC related problems where some regulars answer most questions. Try there.

narnar · 1st June 2007, 15:01

Try downloading any service patches.

I'm still on XP at the minute, not going to get Vista for a while due to all the problems I have heard.

No program can cause hardware error.

Drifter · 1st June 2007, 15:03

To be honest.Stick with XP at the moment Vista is as bad as Win me.

Actually they can....but i think you mean no software could actually cause hardware to physically fail and even then there are circumstances with overclocking.

To the original poster.....its hard to tell where to start with your problem from your description....my advice though is stick with XP until Vista releases the first Service pack....that will contain most of the major fixes

Linux is free.

That's all I know about it to be honest.

Stemmy · 1st June 2007, 15:33

Linux is an Operating system like Windows except its generally more stable and has less bugs....its free allright but if you've used Windows all your life on a PC then Linux will take some getting used to

Also its generally harder to find Linux supported software i think

Yes, thats what I meant.

Linux has shunned it original Command Line based presentation for dumber GUI style interfaces. There are now plenty of applications for Linux based machines such as OpenOffice a package that does more or less the same job as the Windows Office ones.With Linux you are free phishers,hackers and other malicious software b'se lets face it the same guys who write these harmful programs are the same one who contribute to Linux coding. The latest Fedora project has interfaces resembling those of MacOs

botond · 1st June 2007, 15:55

get ubuntu,its great,the and graphics rock

weak graphic card?

MarliMan · 1st June 2007, 16:29

hold ctrl and alt, then press delete, should do the trick

Well, the installer wouldn't boot when I started it up, I had to remove the splash option from the boot command line to get it to run. The install went fine, I popped the cd out, and the dratted thing wouldn't boot. So I had to remove the splash option again (since this was the first startup, and I hadn't had the opportunity to modify my boot configuration), but then while booting it kept spewing weird error messages, the contents of which I don't remember, about invalid memory addresses I think, and I gave up, since I still had the option of using my old Fedora Core 6 dvd.

Guess Ubuntu and I were never meant to be, eh?

I had problems with my ATI graphics card and Fedora on another occasion, but that's another story, and quite unrelated to my Ubuntu install.

Ooh by the way I predominantly use Windows

laura · 1st June 2007, 19:02

I remain faithful to the XP.

I don't know if threads can get too big, and then cause problems or get corrupted - I seem to remember that happened to the 9/11 thread - but anyroad, thought I'd start a new one. The old one is still readable.

mehro · 4th July 2007, 22:06

Should sticky this.

Grinner · 4th July 2007, 22:38

Every time I start up my PC I get the following message on the desktop that has to be dealt with before I can do anything else. I've been told it's either a trojan or a flash drive infection.

It's a standard grey Windows error message box with the main title "No Disk" it then reads

"Exception processing message c0000013 parameters 75b6f9c 4 75b6f9c 75b6f9c"

I usually click on "continue about 25 times which makes it disappear until the next time I start up again.

Help would be appreciated on what this means and I how I deal with it. I ran Spybot and AdAware in safe mode already. I also ran a flash disinfector program.

splat · 4th July 2007, 22:58

It doesn't sound like virus. I presume you're using Win XP, so in the first place check the start up folder for anything suspicious, its located in the start menu->programs. Secondly, run any kind of registry cleaner, probably theres a problem there. Also, theres a program i keep recommending, it's called "xp repair pro", you should take a look. Fixes all kind of errors and makes the machine run faster.

It's always better to call someone to come and help you with this as it's hard to tell where the problem is when you are not there to see by yourself. The reason behind that error could be pretty much everything and what i said above is more or less guessing. Anyway, i hope i've been useful.
