I actually use lubuntu on my netbook - extremely fast as its so lightweight but it is incredibly functional.

I have mint installed on another laptop - much easier to use from the get-go due to the interface and the useful stuff it has preinstalled...

Up to u though, every distro has its advantages depending on the purpose you're using it for and the laptop/PC hardware.

I've had my laptop PC, the HP Pavilion dv6-2190us (quad-core since long before!) since March 2010, and it has worked fine until 2 weeks ago, when intermittently, white and colored lines pop up on the screen, horizontal lines, and every now and then the screen goes white. I have never dropped the computer, got liquid into it. It does sit on a rug in my room, tho idk if thats causing the problem. Its always plugged in and has always been plugged in. What could the problem be with my computer? I've attached a picture of what happens. I've tried installing the latest drivers from Nvidia, tried cleaning up the hard disk, uninstalled old problems, restoring original graphics drivers, and the health checks on the computer itself are good. What do I do?

capacitor problem

first off let me say that i know the basics of computers. but not too much

with that said i had a capacitor problem and my friend replaced my mother board with a new one.

and AGAIN my capacitor bulged making my computer turn on and off repeatdly without showing anything on the screen.

All I know is my computer is running windows 7

4 gb ram

Motherboard : gateway Q35T BTX W/ vpro

i bought myself the same motherboard and also bought HIS ATI Radeon HD 4650 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM PCI Express 2.0 x16.

I WANT TO PREVENT HAVING MY CAPACITOR TO STOP BULGING.

what causes this problem?

i was looking into power supplies but i am so confused with the 20 pin or the 24 pin -__-

thank you in advance.
[Off-topic] gunz.jones:

GUY I NEED SOME HELP WITH MY DELL E510

While ago i asked here on the forum if Intel Pentium E5700 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor would be compatible on my computer and everyone said yes

NOW im bought it and hook it up to my pc.. it give me the orange light with 1 , 2 , 3 .. this it what it means on the dell site

Another failure has occurred.

• Ensure that the cables are properly connected to the system board from the hard drive, CD drive, and DVD drive (see "System Board Components").

• If there is an error message on your screen identifying a problem with a device (such as the floppy drive or hard drive), check the device to ensure that it is functioning properly.

• The operating system is attempting to boot from a device (such as the floppy drive or hard drive); check system setup to ensure that the boot sequence is correct for the devices installed on your computer.

• Check the computer message that appears on your monitor screen.

• If the problem persists, contact Dell (see your computer Owner's Manual for information about how to contact Dell).

I tried updating the bios to A07 but that did not so anything!! please advise what i should do

Not exactly. If the architecture isn't supported, it won't power on. It would flash a warning through lights/beeps and shut down. E510 had a special extension board that only fits that main board. You would need to get a newer btx mobo and extension board that is compatible. Would have to be after 2006....

INTEL CORE I7 3630QM @ 2.14 GHZ

8GB DDR3 RAM

2GB NVIDIA 650 GRAPHICS CARD

1TB HDD@5.4K RPM.

When I checked in taskmanager, I could notice there are two unused memory slots(out of four). Is it possible to add another 8gb ram?

I'm noob in hardware stuff. Which determines the max allowable ram? Motherboard ? Or os? If I have unsed slot, that means more ram is supported?

Any help would be appreciated!!
[Off-topic] bassie1995:
OS and mobo determine max. RAM. You could add more, so for example 2 x 4GB. Pop the bottom open, slide it into the extra slots and you're done.

Be sure to buy laptop (SODIMM) RAM, though :).

But I would recommend upgrading later, if you don't use it now. RAM seems to be getting cheaper and cheaper right now.
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
That means you used it too many times, not that you have it installed too many times at once. I think there's a 5 or 10 time usage limit on serials. ( "Piracy protection" which as usual only annoys paying customers.) You need to call MS and ask them to reset your serial for you.

Dual booting allows you to not be restrained to one os and is less intensive than running a virtual machine. Creating a small Linux partition and the rest for windows works for me.
