Have you overclocked it??
Open the cabinet, and clean the insides. Dust can cause overheating.

Just open up your PC and clean it. Clean the heatsink by taking it out if you can.

No, stock cooler won't do it. Macworld, you need to install a 3rd party cooler for that kind of climate.

Yes, you can run two Hard Drives. You will probably need to re-format them, a fresh windows install is never a bas thing.
Graphics cards. Depends on what type of sockets you have available on the motherboard. Google says you have some PCI-E slots. What would you use the graphics card for and what are the RAM and processing speeds of your motherboard?
No point in buying a graphics card which would be above your needs.

MacWorld, your PC seems to have a very low powered PSU for those specs.

I turned on my computer and for some reason I keep getting warningwarnings saying loads of files are corrupted on System Volume and my mum's AOL user data. I am running the Chkdsk like it said so it should be solving the problem, what I want to know is how it happened.

Did you do something new before shutting down your PC recently?

No I just turned it off at the power on button as usual, luckily though the problem is solved.

Did you turn it off without shutting it down??
Such a problem generally occurs when the files are in use and the computer is abruptly shut down.
A solution could be - delete the contents from the prefetch folder in the windows directory. However, since you say it's fine now, don't delete anything. Keep it as a future remedy rather.

Try a Virus Scan. Viruses these days tend to irritate the user to keep their attention away from it being a virus. That's how they stay for ages and are remotely controlled.

Have a look at pic. I installed TuneUpUtilities a few days back. When i opened it , it asked me that there are some display regarding option available. I clicked ok and then the name below my icon is highlighted with rubbish colour. How can i remove it? I mean how to get the transperancy back?

Right click on the desktop, Click Properties
Go to the Desktop (wallpaper) tab. Now see if there is any option of advanced.. (I don't remember.. havn't used XP for ages now..)
There somewhere, there will be an option about Active Desktop.
Un-tick that, and if there are any ticked items in the list, untick them as well. (Better is, simply delete every entry).
click on OK on whatever window is there.
Hopefully that'll solve the problem.
Sorry I couldn't explain better.. Don't have an XP computer with me right now, and can't seem to remember the exact wordings or windows..
