Reactivation shouldn't be a problem if he has a legit disk and serial. A slight annoyance perhaps..

if it freezes up when you use it,It may be overheating ,or it may just be a virus. See if there is alot of build up in your computer dust,and such,next i would suggest geting some anti virus.malware bytes is a good start.Spbot searth and destroy.is another one.

I've had a few "new" hard drives that clicked and seemed to work for a while. It would be smart to just buy a new one. Dell probably sent you a drive that they hope will last you thru your warranty period. But I could be wrong.

If you have access to a POST card I would try it, for it is worth a shot. BTW have you tried the original video cable that did work with the monitor?

Well it is a annoyance. But it could also prove to be much more. could get a boot error as well. Sometimes Windows just doesnt like a CPU swap. Figured i would mention it now.

BAd sector in Harddisk may keep you away from Windows ... if it is so bad that means time to change your HDD otherwise it will be worse sooner or later

Next time you get the blue screen try to write down the number of the error. It will help a lot in determining what the problem is.

Probably is failing, just make sure you have back ups of important data and RMA it if still under warranty. If not under warranty just back up data and wait for it to die, or replace it.

Motherboard doesn't see RAM I have an Intel DX48BT2 board and every once in a while when I turn it on, it gives me the beeps which say that there is no memory present, even though the computer has plenty of RAM and it worked fine the day before.

I would start by testing your memory with memtest. Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool Also make sure windows is completely updated.

Its probably overheating, the video card that is. Use nvidia control panel or evga precision tool to turn the fan speed up to 100% before entering the game. You can also try updating all hardware drivers and patching the games. Also cut down on running processes using msconfig and update windows.
