Anything but Toshiba. Horrid support and refuse RMAs. Cost me $630 and didn't get a month out of it.

Could be several things. Dying hard drive, hard drive in general, or slow ram.To fix this best to get a samsung ssd for your OS. Since you're using an APU its best to go with a fast ram, remember 1600mhz is tge standard. Best of luck and I love I have helped you with your problem

Windows ME is really old and obsolete. It most likely doesn't support the drivers. If you're feeling lucky go give it a try. I would say Windows XP is the oldest that will work though

You should be able to expand your desktop, I was able to with mine. It was a complicated process, I had to download the proper drivers and change my settings, but it worked (although its an awful connection)

Go to Microsoft or you computer support group as I have yet to reinstall 8 ,and all of my desktops are oem install on PC's built by me ! If it does not work its $69.95 down loaded from Amazon and takes about 15 to 30 min to do !

It's over kill. It will do fine. Are you building a computer brand spanking new? Or are you building from salvaged parts?

Return it for a new one. The whole point of something like a Chromebox is its simplicity and almost immediate 'on' ability. Unless another computer that you know is OK also does that with that monitor, return the Chromebox.

Untangle also runs on it. But If you are looking for desktop you should try Ubuntu 13

Did you replace your hard drive. I am interested in doing the same thing. Thanks!!

I think the computer crashes too often. When you use it for a while, opening a bunch of programs, it just dies and restarts by itself.

second part of your question: then you should configure your OS to either duplicate or extend the desktop.

No, send this back to Acer/Gateway again for repair because of BSOD. Time will tell to see if issue is resolved.

Have you tried dragging the icon on your desktop to the trash? That is what always works for me. It will not open if you simply push the button on the front of the drive.
