fair enuf
. if it should be continued i suggest the previous thread i had given u . actually , some companies have a policy of not allowing the user to open the pc , let alone , adding h/w bought in the market as that would void most of the PCs warranty null , and they wouldnt support ur PC unless u bought parts from them , or remove the part u bought from the outside . not sure how policy works in india though . sorry to hear abt ur friend . if u have access to his pc try to find out what the prob is and we'll try to fix it . his config details would be needed too . We had a similar discussion regarding a compaq system a while back , not sure where the thread is , but since HP bought compaq , all of compaqs probs now fall under HP too .
