| There are some weird happenings going on with my PC. Originally, there would be tons of times where it would just stall or freeze for no reason in particular. And it would be really loud. However, I also noticed during winter break that when on its side, the comp was really quiet. I went inside and noticed that a bunch of wires were clumped directly above the cpu fan and so I tied them using rubber bands and moved them to the side. The freezing and other problems have stopped, although there are these 1. When I turn on the computer, and it hasn't been on for a good while, it will NOT load up on the first try after entering my password and pressing enter. Although if I manually restart the computer, it will always load and login on the second try. It doesn't depend on when I choose to press the restart button. I've done it immediately after one minute, or even after a half hour or so with the same effect. 2. The fan can be really loud at times, although not all the time. It really doesn't depend on when I turned it on either. 3. As indicated by RamIdle.exe, after I play some game on Steam(preferably Dystopia), my free Ram shoots up to 700+ MB. 4. At first, I had this computer hooked up to a Samsung SyncMaster 750s monitor. And I noticed that on other computers, the picture would be brighter. So, I hooked up my comp to this other CRT(Samsung SyncMaster 550s) laying around at home which appeared to have a brighter picture with a different computer. So I thought that it should offer my computer the same brightness. However, I was wrong. I only achieved that brightness by playing around with the ATI settings. The thing is, I had the same problem with my old computer. (It was as dark.) So now, after changing those around, the general brightness is the same as a normal PC, but that isn't the case with videos and such in DivX among other media players. (they're still dark) This is a recently built computer and I am currently running Ewido Anti-Malware, Registry Mechanic, and Ad-Aware SE Pro. Specs: XP Pro Service Pack 2 AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.01 GHz, 1 GB of DDRam Radeon x800 PCI exp If you need other specs, see them here.

I had the same "darkness" problem as yours. It doesn't happen all the time for me, but it still does rarely happen. I have no idea on why this is, but it'd be interesting to find out.
I did have a shitty CRT second hand monitor that got seriously fuck up after the 6-week warranty perioud expired. It was always dark, and I needed to go into the Control Panel/Nvidia settings just to make it somewhat good. I now have an LCD monitor, and the problem's totally gone (besides the odd few times after I try to startup my computer, but it doesn't get past the very first "detecting primary drive" thingo, and I get incredibly scared thinking that I need a new compy, but the problem goes away after an hour of repeatidly turning the computer on and off (not rapidly).  )
Sorry I can't help, but I'm also looking forward to an answer to these problems.

| Well it doesn't really matter how much free RAM I had before because it always goes to 700+ after, sometimes around 800(very rare). | |||

| Do you actually have any efficient experience in building a PC? You may have trashed your motherboard or it may be faulty.
Either way you must figure out which components are faulty. Have you replaced any components, like memory (for your RAM problem)? |
