forgot to mention- i have an EVGA 01G-P3-1302-LR GeForce 8400 GS 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card
but i thought the motherboard and this video card should suffice for graphics. am i wrong?
i also have windows 7 64-bit ultimate that i borrowed from a friend
so will the graphics of the evga be combined with the CPU with Intel HD Graphics 2000?

Answer
-scrap the ssd, it will make the thing boot up faster, but for gaming it will make almost no difference
-get a cheaper hdd.

this saves 60$

Antec power supply, Rosewill is not the most reliable power supplies, and this is only 5$ more, even though its 50w less it will be 650w of good reliable power, you wont need this much anyway,

the nvidia and the intel graphics will not combine, if you plan for moderate gaming then you want at least a nvidia 550gtx or Radeon 6850. the 8400gs is an ancient card.

I would also cut out the flashy case and invest in a quad core processor. for multitasking it will definately come in handly

How do I get rid of the blue screen of death?!?

Ed

Recently, I was just watching a tv show online. Then my laptop shut off on me. I thought it was no biggie because it tends to do that when I watch videos or if it gets hot. I turned it back on and then it gave me two options, "repair start up" or "start windows normally". I chose repair and it led me to the blue screen of death! So i followed its steps and restarted my computer. I went to the F8 screen and chose safe mode. It led me back to the blue screen. I then tried everything else. The blue screen keeps coming. Can someone help me because I'm unable to even successfully start my computer.

Answer
let it sit for an hour or so and see if it works again without problems. if it does clean out the fans with compressed air. if it doesnt then look into getting the operating system reinstalled. a blue screen of death is usually caused by a bad operating system. perhaps a program or someone modified files they shouldnt have and thats why it ends up doing that. before you reformake make sure you back up your files first. you can do so with a hard drive enclosure. this will help you access your files by skipping the operating system. the thing causing the blue screen of death in the first place. i use a bt-300 from topmicrousa and all you do is copy and paste files off the hard drive and youre good.

after you finish backing up files off your hard drive, feel free to send me an email and ill be happy to help \(^_^)/
