[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1795675, member: 46727"] With a machine that old I would first suspect a failing hard drive. Since the display on that machine can easily be removed it should not be difficult at all to swap a new hard drive in it. However, make sure you have a backup and a way to install the backup. By that I mean either the dvd drive is functional or you have a USB installer. Remember, if you install a new hard drive you have to have a way to format it and get it prepared to accept the backup.
