Coooool! It's been running for a couple days now and I just gave it back so....we'll see how she do. Thanks.

Got a 380 watts had a 400 watt. Tell me that will be O.K. ....please.

Old PS shutdown when it got hot. Bought a new PS this AM and it's been running for about 3 hours. I have also shutdown a couple of times and restarted. All seems well at this point. Thanks again for the advise.

Chapter 47..... Called my friend and said I'm putting the old PS (with the fan not working) back in and will bring it by. Decided to plug it in one last time (with the old PS) and it's running like a champ. Have powered down twice now and it's booting up fully.Please register YourTraySpell

Tried the thermal paste, no help. No the heatsink fan and HD start to spin, slow down, speed up and stop. All within about 5 to 10 seconds. Won't bootup at all now. Also checked the capacitors to see if they were blown and looked at the chip to see if there were any spots. All looks good...

I'll give it a go and let you know.

I can try the CD recovery disk or what ever it came with but I don't think it will work because I can't keep the computer on for mor than a few seconds. It was the Melissa Word macro virus that used the contact list. Can't rremember the name but the viruses were on the computer for some time...

No new hardware and the machine was pretty clean after I got it to boot and stay on for a while. I used AVG Ad-aware and the onlu viruses were Melissa (sp?) in Word docs. New PS didn't help at all.

No beeps. W/ old supply it was starting up all the way for about 4 min. Then not as long. Now it starts to bootup but never gets to a screen, then shuts down. I have to pull the plug and then plug it back in before it will start to boot.

Found the fan on the PS wasn't working. Bought a new PS. Know it's shutting down in about 15 seconds. Seems like thing are deteriorating in the last to days.

I hooked everything back up and plugged in the AC cord and it started. So I shut down, brought it over where I could hook up a monitor and keyboard. Plugged it in and got the old results. Tried about 7 more times and got it running. I'm backing up their data and downloaded AVG and running...

Computer won't boot Have a friend's e-machine T2042 running Win Xp. The machine won't boot. I tested (power tester) the PS and it seems ok. When the power cord is plugged in the HD light on the front flashes and the floppy drive makes a click at the same pace as the light. I unplugged...

I was looking at the info and notice that some MP# players have an FM radio and a recorder. Do the iPods?

iPod, mp3 player, podcasting, readers????? I want to download sermons and half hour programs that were originally on the radio and are podcasted on the Internet. I want to listen to them on something portable. What do I need? iPod, mp3 player, podcast reader.......? And how does that all work?

My Aunt has XP. She was going to call another number for tech support that would walk her through a few things to see if they could tell what was going on. I'll let them do that first and then if I'll try your suggestions. Thanks for the posts.
