Right click close to the clock and left click Task Manager in the box that opens. In Task Manager click on the proccesses tab. \n\nThis is everything that is running on your computer. Click 2 times on CPU to see what programs are using the most resources. It will be listed by % of the total.\n\nIf you do not recognize the program, type its name, including the .exe into an internet search engine and the first or second result will be a site that will identify it for you and make suggestions as what to do about it.

it looks like ur processor with 433 MHz is too slow for running Win XP..\n\nfollw these steps to get the maximum performance it can give:\n\n-- Run Disk Clean Up for each drive every day.. it can be found in the start>programs>accessories>system tools..\n\n-- Run Disk Defragmenter for each drive once in a week.. it too can be found under start>programs>accessories>system tools.. this may take hours..\n\n-- Run Error Check(Scan Disk) for each drive.. Right click the drive icon.. take properties.. inside the 'Tool' tab it will be found..\n\n-- Check for unused programs that are installed in the system and remove if any..  this can be done using Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs..\n\n-- Right click My Computer.. take properties.. take 'Advanced' tab.. take 'Settings' under 'Performance' section.. choose 'Adjust for best performance' button.. apply the changes..\n   take 'System Restore' tab in the same window.. select 'Turn off system restore on all drives'.. apply the changes..\n   take 'Automatic updates' tab.. choose 'Turn off automatic updating'..(This step is not a must)..\n   click ok..\n\n-- Take Start>Run, type msconfig.. a window will pop-up.. inside that take statup tab.. check for unwanted startup intems and uncheck it all.. it requires restarting of the system..\n\nrestart your system.. now it will give the maximum performance it can.. good luck..

Sounds like you have to tweak the flux capacitor on your motherboard to make sure the output is 1.21 jiggawatts. Make sure the hard drive is spinnging at 88 miles per hour as well or nothing is going to happen.

I think every thing is OK.\nIf you see nothing on monitor than reinstall the AGP Card, RAMs  into the motherboard. \nCheck each connections into the motherboard and reinstall Windows. \nHope it will solve the problem other wise you will have to visit a technician.\nGood Luck!

Very Good!! Asus socket 939 Mobo; AMD Dual core 4400+ processor; Zalman CPU Fan; 2GB Kingston ValueRAM; EVGA 256MB or 512MB AGP or PCI Card; Two-74GB Western Digital Raptor (10,000 RPM) SATA Hard Drives; a 600 Watt Power Source with fan controls; one 250GB Western Digital SATAII Hard Drive (with the 16MB Cashe) for backups; one 16x Plextor DVD-RW; one Lite-On DVD/CD Combo Drive; one Floppy Drive with Card Reader; Plenty of case fans to keep your cool. 19" monitor, keyboard, optical mouse, 5:1 amplifyed speakers. Joysticks and other interfaces. That'll probably shoot down that $2500 real fast! Try buying at Newegg.com or at Tiger Direct. That might save you some $$!

Hmm, i think it's a dead end. Buy a new hard drive and do not buy Dell PCs next time, they are ready to blow up. Or try booting up in a few days, there may still be miracles. If so, quickly backup all data .

Make sure you didn't connect the HDD converter upside down.  This can cause your Motherboard to go bad if you get this wrong.  Check also the power cable is connected.  I saw that it needed a 4 pin molex plug for power.  The converters can sometimes be connected upside down and very risky to do.  Any particular reasons to be doing this?  If its for extra space, it's not worth it.  Laptop HDD usually run at 5400 rpms or slower and it would just slow down your computer.  I say stick with regular HDDs unless you need the small space.

ARE THE DOWNLOADED YET \nTRY A NEW SEARCH FOR MORE USERS\nRESTART YOU MAY BE IN A LOCKED STATE IN YOUR PROGRAM\n\nTRY TO STOP PROGRAM THEN REBOOT START OVER PROGRAM LOAD SHOULD NOT TAKE MORE THAN 30 MIN'S AT 900 MHZ OR LESS WILL BE FASTER AT HIGHER SPEED DEPENDING ON HD WRITE SPEED\nBUT HAVE TO GET IT UNLOCKED FIRST

Do you do regular maintenance on both computers?  Defrag-clean cache, clear out history?  I know when mine starts slowing down if I do those 3 things, it makes a whole lot of difference.  Just a thought, and good luck.  Nothing more frustrating than a sluggish puter.

Check to make sure you dont have any recalls on that particular thing. Maybe you didn't put it in correctly. ummm maybe your laptop is not responding correctly to it because the unknown error is not effecting it. Just follow the error and keep doing what ya doing. have a nice day

Your laptop loves you, my friend.  It's little electronic heart beeps for you every time you come near.  Please don't turn it away heartlessly.  Even computers need love!

I think Compaq's laptops are like that. I used to have a COMPAQ laptop now it's acting up too. I even had to replace the hard drive in the laptop back then.

Why not check the simplest thing first. Go to Control Panel and select Power Management. Check the entry Standbymodus - is there a time defined? If yes, set it to none or never.

with that slow of a computer, there probably ins't even any heat there to generate!!! get a new computer, like the earlier guy said, u probably have a virus or ur computer died from old age.\nkeep it as a old memory\njust say goodbye to the age of the Mhz cpus and say hello to the new and very affordable 3Ghz cpus\ntons more faster and around 300 bucks including a nice 17 to 19inch flat panel LCD display!!1\n(why don't i just be an billboard for Dell, i seem to compliment them a lot on their ridicuolously low prices for rediculously good computers and monitors (mainly monitors))
