Hello, I may be able to help. Does it power on just doesn't have an OS? I can help you find an operating system and drivers if you would like.

Hello, those temperatures for your CPU are perfectly safe and the temps for your GPU are really good. CPU's are usually safe until around high 80C's to 90C when it can start to get problematic. At those temps they will run, but may fail quicker than normal, and above 95C consistently the CPU...

Hello, the top sticks of ram MT16KTF1G64HZ-1G6N1 should work in your laptop, it is the same speed (12800 means 1600MHZ) and DDR3L so it should work. The bottom sticks of ram MT16KTF1G64HZ-1G9P1 are the same DDR3L but slightly higher speed (14900s means 1866MHZ). The system should slow them...

I am mostly just doing it for fun and to learn how to set it up as I enjoy working on and playing with old hardware and software

Hello, I am trying to setup a dial-up connection between my windows 2000 server and another windows 2000 laptop I have. I have looked on the internet for any instructions about it but I cannot find any specifically for windows 2000 and even instructions for other operating systems are scarce...

Hello, I have a dell 5285 2 in 1 which is affected by the common problem of the bottom 1" of touchscreen not working. I discovered it i chance the resolution the touchscreen is not affected and less is cut off with a smaller resolution. The problem with the touchscreen is that the screen...

Hello, The first thing to try is restarting (not shutdown as shutdown only hibernates by default). If that does not work, you can try to open CMD as administrator and run "sfc /scannow" - without quotes. If you cannot open CMD, go to the power options and while holding shift, click restart. It...

I am not sure why that doesn't work as it can take 4gb of ram. Do you have any other ddr3 ram lying around to test it with?

Hello, the sounds do not sound very good. I am not sure what inside the drive would make the high pitched noises at the end as I have never heard a drive make those sounds before. I would guess bad platter motor bearings. The speeds do seem a decent amount slower expecially the sustained write...

Try to boot it with one ram stick at a time because it seems like one of the sticks could be dead

Hello, that does sound like a failing gpu and to remove the drivers you should be able to remove them from programs and features or from device manager if that does not work. Also, where did you buy the card from (ebay, amazon, etc..) and is it a name brand card like an asus or pny or reference...

Hello, a 120mm fan at the back would just help with the airflow and would help make the case neutral air pressure instead of positive which is better. It is not necessary for this though and it may at most make a slight difference in gpu temp if anything. And almost definitely (unless it is a...

Hello, you could try booting it with one ram stick and changing the ram stick and slot if it doesn't work. If you have another GPU, you can put it in a test it with that as it may also be the GPU. You probably don't need a whole new computer just a component inside it. With issues like this it...

There will be a hard drive caddy inside with the old hard drive in it. Just remove the old hard drive and plug the ssd into where the hard drive went because they have the same connectors.

Hello, that is a very old pc but it would still be ok for web browsing with upgrades. You need 2 sticks of 2GB DDR3 (brand doesn't really matter just look at the reviews for it) and for this I would recommend a kingston A400 240GB SSD as it isn't that fastest SSD but the computer is the...
