[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1108608, member: 56379"] Here's the deal with ANYTHING electronic or mechanical. They always work fine until something goes bad or breaks. So just because your computer has worked fine for two years...doesn't mean something couldn't have all of a sudden just died or broke. It's just like a automobile...one day the alternator, air conditioning, radio, power windows, etc. can work fine...and the next day not work. Computers can be the same way...one day they work fine...next day not. Things go bad.:( So unless something different has been done recently to this computer: - different/new hardware of some sort - installing of new software - electrical surges in your homes electricity - etc. Then the problem could be something has gone bad inside the computer...including the ram. Have you tried booting from a CD/DVD?...this could eliminate anything to do with "bad" software on your hard drive. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
