BK-NIGHT got a reaction from The_PurpleShroom in Sleep mode problemo
So I was playing games, put my pc to sleep with games still running and only the screen shuts down, pc fans still spinning and the screen won't go on, doesn't wake up in any way or form. Some suggestions on what to do?
I posted it in windows cuz i got the idea the problem is somewhere in there.

Restart and open in bios, there you will find something like boot and there select your boot drive.

BK-NIGHT reacted to mariushm in Old HDD vs new SSD
You'd probably get significantly more improvements just by adding another 2 GB of DDR2 memory.
The TurboCache is just another fancy way of saying the nVidia driver uses a portion of your regular memory as video card memory, if a video game needs more memory than what's on your video card..
The cards have 32, 64 or 128 MB of ram on them, and they can "borrow" 128 or 256 MB of memory from computer to make them look like they have more.
A SSD may not be happy because your motherboard won't have SATA 3 ports, and the sata controller may not support some features like NCQ , TRIM etc which some SSDs expect to exist.
If would not spend money on a SSD with that hardware.
Also, find out the model of motherboard you have and then look at the list of supported processors for it (go to mb maker's site, find model, go to support/downloads and you find there list of supported processors)
You're likely to find a much faster processor on eBay for something like 10-30$... depending on your budget it may be worth it.

Sticker/Label between CPU socket and RAM tells you it's 945GCT-HM
Google tells you it's made by ECS for HP, here's the official page: https://support.hp.com/th-en/document/c00910113
Page says the board supports max 2 GB of memory so you can't upgrade ram, sadly.
As for CPU ...
It makes no sense to use anything than core 2 duo so your options would be only E4200 which you probably have now (since it's 1.6ghz) or E4300 which is running at 1.8 ghz makes no sense to buy cpu for just 0.2 ghz extra ... so no, you'll be better off upgrading to something more modern... that board is too old and limited in upgradability.
