Hi, I've got a refurb 6325cl presario. It has a bad habit of locking up. When this happens the screen shrinks to ~80% of normal size and oscillates wildly. The PC becomes totally locked up - no inputs allowed at all - keyboard mouse - nothing. I can reset by holding the power button for...

Hi, I've recently acquired an Compaq Evo 510 SFF. It has integrated sound & video, however there is an AGP Port on the motherboard that allows upgrades. The only problem is that its much smaller due to it being a 1.5V AGP Port. Where can I find these to purchase in the UK? How much exactly will...
