    BIOS Update: Biostar N61PA-M2S

    Ok ... hmm. It was kinda successful from Windows, in updating the BIOS but when it rebooted, well, it's now stuck on a blinking Biostar screen :( Am I screwed? :( I've removed/reinserted CMOS battery, removed/reinserted the CMOS jumper... well, nothing. :( Is there still a way out of this...

    PC takes a long time to turn on

    I know this was supposedly closed but for accuracy purposes, it's not the battery :( After those 3 days of long-booting, the computer starting failing again. I stuck with the problem for a bit until 2 days ago, it didn't turn on completely. The problem was 2 things: 1) The power supply... it...

    Computer is super slow

    Oh sorry about that... let's see... In WinXP, follow these steps to see what your power scheme your computer is following: (Power scheme = it's like how your computer manages it's power consumption like when it goes on standby, hibernates, or even turn off the system including the hard drive)...

    Computer is super slow

    Well, there could be a couple of things causing the software stuff... But for your hard drive, I'm thinking Windows power settings (check it under Control Panel) may simply be the culprit. Now back on the software stuff, what are your PC specs?

    What graphic card should i get?

    Well, I have an old, obsolete graphics card ATI HD6850 (Sapphire) and it can play BF4 even with max settings :) I'd say you can go with HD7xxx or HD8xxx cards (if you're into ATI that is, because I am) for better games ahead. :) FYI, this one's got 1GB GDDR5 Memory, double-slot size, 128-bit. :)
