Hey welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help :)

The link below will tell you about the processor. (its a quad) incase you dont want to have a read. AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 Processor Review - PCSTATS.com The pc you said about at the start will be find for all the games apart from maybe half life but i'm not to sure as i have never played it so i don't know how demanding the game is on the graphics if its like far cry you will be able to play it but it wont be amazing would be like watch a dvd on a normal tv instead off on hd that kind off difference. Chart below shows how different graphics cards did when playing fry cry (demanding) gives you an idear off graphics cards for top games. Your system should be able to upgrade without major problems just the normal off what to upgrade it with :)

Depends what type off games you are thinking about playing. Normally a good gaming computer is around £3000+ some off the top being 6. If i was you i would write a little list down for the games you want to play ones out now and ones you have read about and see if your system cant match what they need.

Hello and welcome to free pc help. Because we will have to get you to forward are messages to him. Is he unable to have a navy IT tech have a look at it for him. could you explain a little more please? A few seconds after it turns on it starts to scan for a disk? Has he tried booting the laptop up into safe mode? If none off the above work and he still wants to restore the laptop insert the restore cd that should have came with the laptop push the F2 key which will let you boot from the cd and follow the on screen commands. WARNING! doing this will delete all data on the computer (will be like a having a new computer from the shop)
