    Pre built pc

    just go to the dell website and configure one, it's pretty customizable. plus it has great prices on their computers with knock off prices if your paying attention. can probably snag a good deal if you look for it. usually you can't beat performance/price ratio and what you get overallf from...

    Helping a friend: Dell dimension 2400 Linux troubles

    okay, did you try to hit f1? sometimes it will bypass and work if you do that... other then that, sounds like the cd drive might be broken, i have an old dell dimension that does that, it just says to strike key over and over again. i changed the cd drive with another one and it works again...

    BSOD one week after CPU upgrade

    sounds like your cpu is defected or your computer doesn't support it properly. is the i3 not enough for your computer needs? if you have the patience, i would try another i5 and if you get the same results, you know it doesn't properly support the cpu. might want to research in getting one that...

    Internet is extremely slow after installing Linux Mint

    hmmm, that's weird, worked for me. also making sure your linux is fully updated worked for me also. either that, or your tp is not supported that well, i have a laptop wireless 1350 intel card that refuses to work and is buggy, probably might want to invest in a new wireless adapter. also, did...

    Internet is extremely slow after installing Linux Mint

    try turning off ipv6, it should be somewhere in the internet settings, meaning your wireless settings, not your browser. there should either be a turn off option or an ignore option. post back to see if that works. i use to have this problem too until i did endless searching on this issue...

    I can't install any linux os in my pc

    maybe your bios doesn't support booting from usb. i know my custom motherboard doesn't support usb booting. i think it's your motherboard either way, if you can test the motherboard in a different computer just to be sure, then you can rule that out. other then that, your stuck guessing what the...

    4200 rpm Hard drive question

    i'm sure you can find a cheaper 4200. if that's all he's going to be doing, it doesn't really matter what's in there. there is a difference btw from 4200 to 5400 if you pay attention that is, but again, if that's all he's doing, he's not going to notice a difference really. just get the cheapest...

    I can't install any linux os in my pc

    i think i had a similar problem to what your experiencing. try using a different cable for the hard drives, see if that helps. that's what happened to me, it was a bad cable. other then that, i would say the hard drives are no good, try running chkdsk maybe from a different computer just to see...
