computer restart when left idle

whitewolf — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 14:16:53 +0800

hi,

my computer is now crazy. i always leave it idle. so when i want to use it again, it always comes back to the password page when you first turn on the computer. i dont know whats it called. anyway, this happens randomly and sometimes almost always. there's also a case where when i want to shutdown the computer, everything will go blank but i notice the power is still on.

i dont know what seems to be the problem. could it be because of a virus or sort? because my antivirus is kapput already.

can anybody please help or give some suggestion?

pc very slow

whitewolf — Sun, 10 May 2009 20:35:53 +0800

my computer is very slow. the first time it happened was when i send to computer shop because the os wont start so i guess they change the motherboard. now i've been experiencing real slow rate. even opening a file is a torture because i have to wait nearly 5 minutes for the file to play. this is NOT an exaggeration.

here's some info that might help you all in figuring this one out:

this computer is solely used for internet browsing.
windows xp service pack 2, just reformat. not ori kot.
512mb ram and 160g capacity.
100% cpu usage almost all the time.
really very slow.
no heavy downloading or heavy applications such as games and whatnot.
i also got 2 cd drives, one which doesn't play dvd and one which plays and burn dvd. but most of time, my burn process always incomplete. if can solve this, then a bonus!

PLEASE HELP!

Dell Keyboard Problem

whitewolf — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:50:48 +0800

hello.

i have 2 dell laptops. the inspiron 6400 and 640m. my 6400's keyboard no longer functional. and i see that my 640m is also slowly not functioning.
the first symptom was when i press certain key, certain windows pop-up.
for instance, if i press L, the log on screen will appear or if i press E or I, a windows explorer shows up and so many more.
after a while, space, arrows and ctrl key no longer work.
the only remedy i did to stop all this is to press shift and then press all the keys.
the constant pop-up would stop and i thought that was the last of it.

how wrong was i.

as important keys no longer work, i bought an external keyboard and the external worked perfectly fine.
occasionally the pop-up problem starts again but after a while it stopped.
and since then i got even bigger problem.
to make this more clear, let me demonstrate:

thksksshatha;;dsshdkjsddmykdylafd.

translation: this is what happens when i used my keyboard.

so, can anybody offer their help? i now completely rely on the external keyboard but it kind of bugs me especially if i want to go around.
this is a laptop for god's sake!
i should be able to carry it with me wherever i go without having to carry anything else!

ps: the only similarities i see between the two is that they both needed battery replacement.
