How long did you leave memtest running? Even if your memory is indeed somewhat defective, it might not show any errors during the first few runs....
Resets under stress for no obvious reasons usually point to power problems, yes. Try to get a PSU from a friend or something to replace your old...
That depends on what you define as "decent" though. If you need over, say, 4 hours, it's very hard to get that on a cheap 15" notebook.
What Cupboard said, if you're planning on using it for uni projects etc, a CULV -bases laptop would be ideal as you'll have a screen on which you...
If you don't need the upgrade, don't do it. I mean, do you have problems running any of the programs you need? If not, why upgrade? Unless you're...

No, that actually makes perfect sense to me. I never invert the mouse on PC games though, ever.
I've been playing FPS games for almost 10 years and I always hated it. Using it with an operating system is ok, but in games you can never be as...
Not to dishearten you, but if it's a hardware problem, any-level-formatting won't really help. I don't really trust SMART though, I've had an...
That's the way I usually do it. The pressure from the heatsink should distribute the TIM evenly. I think that some people manually fill the whole...
