9 hours is a bit long. I think there was a under laying issue for the update to take do long. Asume you do not have a win7 installation disc? If not to get your music and data off on to another drive I would download knoppix (linux) recovery distro below and burn the iso using cdburnerxp once...

The only upgrades are ram to 8Gb max and you could install ssd drive. The CPU is soldered to the motherboard.

That ssd that you linked is i think an older model. I do not use ssds since they are just for boot speed in my option. The slow down could be age. But you would see are minor speed improvement with ssd with an i3 core i believe. You could opt for a 7200 regular hdd. In the future yiu can...

I figured there was no backup of the backup :). Data recovery of a drive can cost $250 and up. Here is how I backup my primary drive. I use FreeFileSync to create each backup which basically is folder to folder. I will backup the backup files to a DVD or a CD depending on the size of the...

Sounds like the Hdd died Unfortunately you need to replace the drive. Fans normally do not hit things they can also develop hardware failures also. My PC game system had a fan issue when I troubleshooted it it was my GPU fan. That was the cause had to get a new GPU.

In my case I live 50 miles from most of the channels, which are from New Haven or Harford CT. I would need a 50 + mile ota antenna to even to tune in those channels. A indoor ota antenna I would get hmm 3 channels from New London 2 ion and 1 PBS that is it with a indoor where i live now not a...
