Hey tunny please it is fine do not worry.

I noticed your computer specifications are not a fuller make and model.

Could you run this and post fuller hardware specs for each of your computers and post all the hardware ONLY specifications on each thread for each computer.

Run this:Belarc.com

Run this:Speed Fan post results please.

Now when was the last time this computer had a good cleanout from inside?
Could you check all fans are spinning inside?

Hi,nothing in PM yet.

You are correct some things should not be made public on the forum.

Compaq-Presario GS341AA-ABU SG3100UK

CPU.3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium D

How much RAM.Slot 'DIMM0' has 512 MB Slot 'DIMM1' has 2048 MB

Operating system.Windows Vista Home Basic Service Pack 1 (build 6001)

Video/graphics card.??????????????

Hard drive.Size in gigs.160.04 Gigabytes

If you need to list these items for the other problem computer on your other thread then please do so.

Thankyou.

Now I see you have over the max RAM allowed for this computer it only takes a max of 2 gig.I would sugest trying to remove the 512 RAM and move the 2 gig into the slot nearest the CPU.That is the processor unit.

Now download these drivers and save once you downloaded them all then start to instll them especialy the graphics card driver.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...roduct=3628036

Do NOT download the BIOS update.
