Are you sure you're pointing it toward the correct partition? I have 2 hard drives and 5 partitions on them combined. I occasionally install to a drive letter that I didn't mean to.  |

I know I have plenty of space on that drive letter I had to unistall one of my games which freed up about 5 gigs of space on that drive. Well I called my big brother he built my computer I'll have him check it out this weekend. He can also fix my video card, take one of my two cd rom drives and find out why my internet's been slowing down on me. (My computer hates me for some reason so it creates problems for me for some reason)  |

Ok I fixed my CD rom drive but now It won't let me install stuff and shut down without pulling the plug. As well as kicking me out of most of my games (half-life 2, Battlefield 1942 etc). Any suggestions before I use a crowbar on my computer (I would too)
Nummerous people either think that my computer is screwed up or it's possesed by something because everytime something gets fixed something else goes wrong.  |

<trouble installing games/programs>
I have seen this happen if you Bios has troubles recogizing hard drives >160gig. Check and see if there is a BIOS update for your computer.
<It won't let me install stuff and shut down without pulling the plug>
RAM problems can cause a bunch of screwy symptoms. If possible try new RAM…borrow from a friend or other computer. If you have two or more sticks try removing one at a time and try and recreate the troubles. |

| It's not the ram I'm haveing my big bro coming over agian to fix this thing agian. He built it he knows how to fix it if it keeps acting up I'm going to demand my money back from him and buy myself a computer pre built. My computer's been acting up since I got it. I had to wipe the hard drive twice and had it repaired so many times it get frustrating. |

if that doesn't work then

Sounds like either a windows issue or a bios issue. But it is difficult to know for certain unless I was there. If all your components work, its most likely software. Reinstall windows, this tends to fix issues. If this problem persists, run through your bios. If at this point its still not functiioning as it should........get a new computer  |

I fixed a few days ago what caused the problems was a few music programs that came with the windows I installed and I'm getting a replacement video card because I recived a defective one so all my problems are fixed now  |

| Ok a couple days ago my computer started acting up again a long story short I'm done with this computer I'm scraping it and buying one already made not one built by my Big brother so hopefully no more new problems every week. Because the last two weeks were very frustrating got computer fixed new problem comes up, computer fixed new problem comes up etc so hopefully my next computer is problem free. |

Congrats on getting a new computer.......the only thing to really look out for in prebuilts is what kind of warranty your paying for. In defense of home built computers, they work just as well...it just depends on who builds it  . |

| The problem may not at all be realted to the machine itself. It could be certain software or certain settings in windows that you're using. No matter who built it...it they're fairly reliable parts, it should work as well a a prebuilt. |
