Hi (-: My computer makes one beep, and then freeze while showing the manufactor screen at boot up. Before it started acting like this, my Windows Vista partition (i dual boot Kubuntu linux and Vista) was really slow. On the 2, maybe 3 last startups of Vista before the freezing started it took forever to start and login. And, the last time i succesfully booted the computer, Windows update started and asked me to do a restart, did so and since i have not been able to get past the manufactor screen )-:

i have not done a virus search in a long while, so maybe it is a virus? The linux partition functioned perfectly to the very last. The last time i logged into windows, the bios screen was, for a brief time , messed up graphicaly, and the screen went purple for a second when loading vista. Maybe a problem with my graphics card? I have done some ecstensive overclocking of my cpu, and some smaller on the gpu.

Specs: Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard, intel 2 core duo 1.8 ghz procesor OC to 3.1 ghz with bios. nvidia gts 450 zotac graphics card wich i overclocked with nvidia software the last time i booted succesfully. 3 gb of ram.

Can anyone help?

Hi! I am planning in buying this SSD. I will use that and the hard disk i got now together, having documents, film, and music on the hard disk, and dualboot kubuntu 10.10 and windows vista on the SSD. I was just wondering what Raid is, wich Raid i should use, and why. Thank you for any answers :-)

So? What do ya think

Hi. I have a computer wich gets dotted multicolored vertical lines as soon as i start the computer. As the Vista installation is corrupt, i would like to run ubuntu from a USB, to move all important files away from the pc. The problem is that when the install screen in ubuntu shows up the vertical lines is so intense that i cant see a thing. ( the lines are there when i am in BIOS too). I managed to see enough to install Ubuntu one time, but then i was so stupid that i put in a corrupt usb to copy the files to, that the computer stopped up. Now i cant see anything when the Ubuntu instalation comes up. Before that it is varying from time to time how many lines there is.

Anyone knows how to deal with this problem?

I will soon get a computer with slots for 2,3 or 4 (don't remember exactly) rams (is that the correct word for more than one ram?). will 1gb ram plus 2 gb ram become 3 gb or is it better to just use the 2 gb ram. sorry if this is a very noobish question.
