My CD Drive seems a bit shagged. The computer can see the drive, but it can't see any CDs inside the drive. I honestly can't think why this would be, it was working perfectly yesterday...

My computer isn't as good as i would want it to be and i'm not rich.
Also bolts keep falling off my chair, and i have to end up repairing it every month or so.

seen as kurki handled your chair problem, to be rich (which lead to computer being as good as you want it to be) play lottery succsessfully.

My computer is about six months old. I usually keep it running almost all the time. However, if I cut it off and it sits through the night (and the place is not cold or anything, just not hot) when I start it up in the morning, there is a 50% chance it will freeze while loading Windows XP. But if I push the button and cut it off, restarting after about 30 seconds, it never fails to come back on, and everything is great.

Why would a relatively new computer be doing that?

this is a cut and paste from microsoft.com:

Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).

in other words, these are normally ok. but, because some viruses do attack and embed themselves in .dll's, you shld check the registry to see what services are being run by each instance of svchost. more than one svchost process can run at one time, so you'd have to check all of them, or, just run a good anti-virus that can detect .dll embeds.

yes. lose some weight. your chair will thank you ;)

if it sounds like a cat, feed it your mouse and see if it stops.

Lol.

Here's one for you K, how hard is it to change my graphics card? I am changing from a radeon 7500 to a 9800 pro. While I am not an IT expert (otherwise known as geek

) I am an engineer, but being a mechanical engineer most of my experience is hitting things with hammers.
