Vista isn't going to fix this. It's either a power problem or a software problem that could be fixed, if nothing else, by reinstalling XP.
I've considered a Mac too but they're bloody expensive.  |

Get a job at the Apple Store, they get discounts on items there.
My friend Heather has been working at the Apple Store since October last year, and she likes it a lot  |

Just buy a new computer and shove your shit there. THey're dirt fucking cheap (Dells are usually $300) and aren't bad after you clean off all the bullshit or just reinstall.
Posted by HyperHackerPosted by Forte.EXEI didn't mention Vista, but I agree. It'd be a lot better if more mobos supported it. My laptop, afaik, doesn't, although I would LOVE to be proved wrong. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Yeah, it sucks that motherboard manufacturers tend to decide "lol let's not tell anyone how to use the sensors so they can only use our shittastic program if we ever even get around to making one".
Katelyn, there'd have to be an Apple store here first. There's also the DRM issue; if they use it on iPod, iTunes, and other products I can't see them not using it in OSX. |

I finally figured out the god damn problem! Which means Xeon was right about the power supply and the processor unit.
I am lucky I had made a complete back-up of everything I owned last month before the PC went dead at the Computer Repair Tech in Bettendorf. I sent it to get it fixed a week ago, and yesterday got a phone call that the computer was unable to be fixed because it was burned beyond repair. So, they've made me a custom-built PC with the original's specs, and decided to include twenty gigs of free memory so it'll operate faster. I would be using Becky's laptop, but Nene's OS System (don't ask why my wife gave her no-longer trusted laptop a name) caught a nasty virus which totally destroyed it... which means new laptop to be bought. Once class is dismissed Beck and I are driving down there to pick it up, before I shove all my saved shit into my new PC... hmm, now that I remember; the PC originaly was my mothers, but after living on my own for nearly five years took it with me, had my sister Felicia's music off from Limewire, her MySpace crap, and hundreds of digital camera pics she never used or shared with friends (mostly on random punk-rock wannabe poses)... oh well, like I give a damn. |

Your mom is a wannabe punk rocker?
In 2004 I found out that my grandmother, who was 77 at the time, liked rap music. |

Hell yeah  Now my new custom PC is like the old one (but more to my liking) and the original had 17.2 GB Total with less than 3.7 GB of Free Space. Now it's 37.2 GB Total, and 21 GB Free. |

RAM? Don't you mean hard drive space, Forte?  |

My mom used to do that a lot, she'd called hard drive space "memory" which confused the hell out of me for a while as I was already confusing hard drive space with RAM. Once we had a game that needed 570K of conventional memory (this back in the days of Windows 3.1) and we had 640K, and I thought the game would fill most of the hard drive because of that.
Then, my mom thought that deleeting files consisted of deleting their shortcuts, and we wondered why we could never free up very much space. |

Sounds like a power issue maybe? One way to tell is to get a linux lve CD distro KNOPIX or something it boots the whole OS from CD and see it is stable. That way you know if it's hardware or software before blowing away your windows install. |
