why would processor change in PC?

Maybe some problem in BIOS settings.\nOr maybe your mother board is not working properly. It happened to me once. I had to change mine. Get it checked.

It sounds to me like the system may have suffered from a static electric discharge or some kind of elctricity has passed through the processor. I know this because the pins are black and it is usually cause from electrical burns from some source of electricity. You could have left the computer on during a lighting storm or you could have experienced a power surge or brownout or spike in your house. Now this does not happen immediately but over time it can cause internal parts to become like that.

Check the date and time on your computer. If it reverts to an earlier or incorrect date, this will happen. Also be sure your computer is set in the correct time zone (i.e., Central, Pacific, etc.) If you unplugged your computer, often it will revert to the original time set when the motherboard and processor were installed. Mine does this, when I unplug it during an electrical storm. I have to remember to reset the date and time. Right click on the clock in the taskbar and see that it says.

after some time upgrade the computer

1. Check the fan, if the cooling system is bad the processor will automatically step down its speed\n2. Remove all spyware and viruses by installing a good antivirus software\n3. Make sure you un install all software that you dont need. Any thing that runs in the back ground such as database services etc.\n4. Check how much RAM is currently being utilised and which processes are taking max cpu time. That might give you an indication which program is slowing it down.\n5. Check memory for consistency by doing a memchk from command prompt. Also check that CMOS setup detects the right amount of memory installed (2GB in your case)\n6. Try using Firefox browser. Its more resilient to spyware etc.

And you didn't even tell us what kind of video card you have? You really expect us to know THAT much? :)\n\nIn Control Panel / Display / Advanced, there's probably a section about "display orientation". Sounds like you're got changed.

Hi\nIts really simple just make sure your RAM is connected properly And your processor too...\n\nEnjoy

Same problem with me.I would think get a new mother board and slowly upgrade it as latest software often need higher specifications.

I've been doing that since the IBM PC was introduced in 1981.  I kept upgrading the same computer a little at a time, and it went through a number of cycles where all of the parts had been replaced, so it was a whole new computer each cycle, but each cycle was a number of years.\n\nBut I've gradually come to the conclusion that's a mistake.  The parts keep evolving.  Subtle differences from one year to another cause subtle compatibility problems.  As just one of hundreds of examples of this problem, I added an ATI video card a number of years after I upgraded to a new motherboard, and it stopped working about once per month on average.  It just froze/crashed the whole computer, such that it needed a power-on clear.  It turned out the motherboard had a subtle glitch at the speed of that video card, and I had to reduce the AGP speed.  That solved it, but that kind of problem takes months or years to diagnose, because the symptoms only happen at random.  If the motherboard and video had been from the same year as each other, they would have been far more likely to be compatible with each other.  Glitches such as that one don't get much testing in their early years before the right combination of products is available to make them happen.  And by the time those products are available, the earlier products are being phased out, so the glitch doesn't get much testing then either.\n\nTherefore, instead of gradually evolving a computer, I recommend that you save your money till you can afford to start from scratch, and build a whole new computer then.

it may not have anything to do with it being a pentium 4, it mostly has to do with hard drive space & your video/graphics card. You can call the Geek Squad at Best Buy & ask them, they can help.

Try reinstalling the operating system. Reformat the hard disk if you can. A hard disk losing its bearings will do that as well. Try rebooting in DOS from a diskette to eliminate the OS, and Hard Disk. \nTake the case off and put a big fan.  This will check the microprocessor. The Pentium series has serious heat problems.

If it is recent one (Pentium+)\nIt has both\n\nFor description see links

This could be loose RAM.  It could be a bad processor.  It could be a loose Video card.   It could be incompatible RAM and Processor combination.   It could even be a bad motherboard.   \n\nTry different RAM.   If you have two RAM modules, try it with just one, then the other.  Try a different Video card.    Let's just hope that by swapping parts that you get it working.   First assume that there is only one problem, and swapping will do the trick.  \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

I don't believe you have a RAM  issue, I believe you're overtaxing your processor.  Depending on the type of processor you have, you can only accomplish so many tasks at one time.  You also might have too many background programs running at one time, on top of the programs that you initiate.  Download the program I have supplied a link for below, and find out exactly what's running on your system.  Turn off anything that's not system critical this should free up some processor time.

Please define what you mean by "hardware technology". I can tell that that when you change you're processor, you'll likely need to reinstall Windows. It doesn't like that. Can't say how well Linux handles it\n\nEdit: Ahh, I see. Well aside from the aforementioned reinstall of your operating system, it really depends on what you upgrade from and to. Basically if your new processor is compatible with your current board, you'll just need the OS reinstall. If it is not, you'll need a new motherboard, and that can turn into a very large job. If you get a new motherboard you need to be sure that it's compatible with... everything else. For example if you have an AGP video card, make sure sure the new board has an AGP slot. If you have a sata hard drive make sure the new board has sata, if you have pc3200 ddr ram, make sure the new board supports pc3200 ddr ram, and so on... and so on... Even the case may need to be replaced, depending on the size of it vs. the size of the motherboard.

laptop processors naturally are slower than desktop ones. I'm sure Amd can run all the applications intel can. your celeron probably can't run some programs smoothly but it can probably run them slowly.
