Yes and No. I own an HP pavilion 8775c with a 933 P3. You realy need to post more info. A modle number would be great.\n\nAnyways, In my case I did a BIOS upgrade. This allowed my board to take a 1.3 celleron I think. The board has jumpers to set voltage, buss and multiplier setting. Problem was in my case and possibly in yours, is that HP takes the jumper pins off and just solders the connections in the possition they want. This means, even if I had that 1.3 it would still show up as a 933 P3. If you want to do an upgrade and have limited funds, I have a few recomendations.\n\nFirst off, some one I'm sure will come around and tell you just to buy a new system. I'm still using my HP P3. It's heavily modified, but runs great and it can still keep up with these new systems. Get an aftermarket Mother Board. An Asus would be good considering they already make the one in your HP. This is why more info would be good. If your CPU is using SLOT 1, this part may not apply to you then. If you're using Socket 370, then try and find a Socket 370 board. Get one with the highest possible CPU support you can get. This way, you can keep all you're current hardware. You can usualy find a good new board on Socket 370 for about 30 to 60 bucks. Then, just spend another 20 bucks on a better heat synk and fan, and over clock it to 933 or 1Ghz if you're feeling lucky. \n\nIf you're on Slot 1, this may be a good time to switch to AMD. LOL

If i was you i would completely dry out everything put the new ram to one side reinstall the old ram, then if and when the PC is running go to Crucial and use there scanner to find out exactly what sort of ram you can upgrade to.

Buy a new processor online for the same socket set.  You can find one for pretty cheap im sure, but i wouldnt recommend overclocking.  That could destroy the processor and the motherboard.

No you cant, Just Contact your System Admin. If you can get that one but your board wont support that one.

You will find some diagnostic tools and low level format tools on www.maxtor.com (select software downloads). If the diagnostics fail then it is time to replace.

May I suggest you visit, MICROSOFT LIVE "ONECARE" site, they do the lot, its free, and very thorough, they literally "fix" your computer. GOOD LUCK.

No. \n\nYou can try if you are prepared to wipe the computer clean and start from scratch. It depends on the code on the side of the machine.

u cna go to bios setting and change the clock timeings. well be carefull when u do that. its always goood to use a additional fan for the processer, just in case if u want to increase the clocktime of the processer, to avoid over heating.

No you cannot do that.  To be able to do that you would have to go back to the 80's where they had a "computer" (the size of a large room) with workstation all over the building.  However that technology was outdated many years ago and you can't find it anymore except in computer science museums.\n\nIf you need a cheap computer you might check out computer surplus outlet (http://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx) and take a look.  It won't be the latest and greatest but it'll be cheaper than buying a new conputer.

Reload the OS or try buying a new comp

Well, this is a no-brainer.  You broke the hotplate, you fix the hotplate or buy a new one.  The agent and the owner doesnt have to replace it and then fight with you to pay for it.  Just go buy one and leave it there when you move.  Easy and simple.
