    Help me :(

    I don't know where else I could post this where it not get spammed, and hopefully get some somewhat intelligent responses.

    I got 512m of new ram installed into my laptop, everything worked fine for a while. I began to download music, one of the files I downloaded sounded like a bad rip, I resumed listening to it, as I was in the middle of downloading it, and thought it was just a frayed file, either way my computer BSOD'd, my first instinct was that it was too hot, I put my hand under it, and it had felt hotter in the past. So I resumed to re boot, attempted to run AD-Aware, got an RPC error, I stopped the scan in the middle to avoid it restarting before I cleaned off all I had scanned. I restarted, ran ad-aware again, no RPC this time, which is not what i'd expected. So I let it finish, and then instead of running the 'smart scan' I had it run the full drive scan, it did it, took a bit longer, but never-the-less finished. I had my Wi-Fi modem unplugged because that is what Microsoft had reccomended for such 'RPC' calls. I rebooted and plugged my modem back in. Now I get a 'limited or no connectivity' message, I've had this in the past, it usually occurs when you have an extremely weak signal, but I had all the anttenae bars full, and was getting 54mbps connection, which is the max for my modem/router afaik
    After multiple reboots, I get the same results, and I seriously don't know what to do, I would've assumed that something came loose between my router and my DSL modem, but I'm on this computer, and it's on the same network, I'm going to go downstairs and cycle my modem/router, that's usually the way that we've fixed such problems in the past, but I don't know, if you have any ideas as to what could be wrong please tell me.

    After recycling my modem/router, it had no affect

    If any of you could help me solve this problem I'd be much obliged.

        RE: Help me

        I have a somewhat similar problem, let me start without stating why I yanked my wireless modem card out of it's place in my computer. After doing so, I put it back in the little place (it doesn't go to the USB port) and now it "Can't Connect to the Access Point". What do I do?

          RE: Help me

          Yeah. I have a built-wireless, that just stopped working. It it says it is working, but somehow is not getting the wireless signal. It says nothing, and pretends it is perfect, but no signal. I'm going to check mine. If I find something that might help you out, I'll let you know.

              NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

              Never, EVER buy a Dell unless you're getting a really cheap budget computer. They rip you off HORRIBLY otherwise.

              Anyway, I can't help you. I might be more able to understand if, you didn't, type like, this,

                yeah, any computer thats not built by yourself sucks. Because it's either one thing or another thats wrong with it. Like if it has a DVD Burner, but not a CD burner, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!? And they usually don't have those processor switchboards that switch from Pentium to AMD. Well, I admit that not many computers have those anyways, but it's pretty cool. I can play ever game that requires 500MHz or less (yeah, my computer sucks, shutup!)

                  RE: Re: RE: Help me

                  Stop ragging on Dell.

                  I have either the best or one of the best computers here and I bet it cost less than all of yours.

                  So seriously, shut your mouths about Dell because you have no idea what you're talking about.

                  Now, regarding (Jewp, you spelled it wrong...horribly wrong) your problem, the easiest solution is to reformat. That solves everything.

                  Ad-Aware isn't going to find viruses. Use Avast! for that.

                      HAHAHA OH GOOD LORD. Mindfields, quit acting like you know what you're talking about. You're only making yourself look stupider.

                      Stop ragging on Dell.

                      I have either the best or one of the best computers here and I bet it cost less than all of yours.

                      What does that have to do with anything? All that means is that you know where to find cheaply priced parts.

                      And tell me this: How is getting a computer with a 3.2 GHz P4, 512 MB PC3200, and an 80 gig HDD and paying $3000 not getting ripped off? Answer me that.

                      And if you don't think I know what I'm talking about, think again. I'm running on a comp I built myself. It cost around $600 and can get 50-70 fps in UT2K4 on max or high settings on everything. Not bad, if I should say so myself. :>

                        Tnyhwk, specs might be more convincing than generalizations.

                          RE: Re: RE: Help me

                          I have no clue what computer you're referring to, TNY.

                          I have a P4 HT 3.0ghz with 1gb of DDR2 ram, 160gb SATA HDD, and a Radeon X300 with Dual Monitor, along with the nice SBAudigy 2 with 5.1 surround.

                          For $1,300.

                          I know, Anti will be the first to tell you that I'm an exception. I just waited for the right sale is all.

                          UT2004 takes hardly any processing power to run. I ran it nearly flawless on my old 1.4ghz p4. Try running Doom 3 with "ULTRA GRAPHICS" on 1024x768 and tell me if you see lag. I sure didn't even with 4x (useless) anti-aliasing.

                          ~Squeek

                          PS - Max out HL2, while you're at it.

                              From what Anti says, I could max out HL2 easy.

                              If you say I can't, then talk to your beloved Anti about it, Squeek.

                              And I don't have Doom 3. I'm not into survival horror games, like the RE series.
