I take it by the lack of responses that it's probably best to take my PC into a repair shop and get them to wipe it for me?

Hi! My question has been up for over a week now and probably lost in the archives! Would anyone please be able to give me some advice? Muchas gracias!!! I'm hoping someone can help me. I have as Acer Aspire x3400 that I am trying to restore to factory settings. It's become a bit slow and...

Thanks Sandstorm3000. You've been a great help. :-)

I understand that. I just meant that what started as a new GPU has turned into a completely new machine!!! :-D I was hoping that maybe I might be able to build around the motherboard and CPU, rather than building from scratch, but I suppose I can't do that with what I need the PC to do. :-)
