Ok. I'm having very bad computer problems. My computer is like 4 years old. The damn thing is so bad I have to have it on its side. Its a damn tower. Who's heard of a tower that the only way for it to boot up is on its side? Well I for sure have never heard anything of that sort. I wont be playing quake much anymore. So for those that want to RA or something.. Sorry but you'll have to wait. Im going to talk to my grandpa to barrow $1,000 to buy computer stuff and make it. I Will then have a MUCH faster computer and for sure wont lag. But right now.. I don't want to push playing games. I don't want it to get worse yet. I just wanted to let anyone know just in case If someone was wondering were I was. Key word IF. I doubt anyone will. But this is just to make sure everyone who wants to know knows whats going on. I hate this computer. Its a PoS 566 mhz w/ 256mb of ram. I went to go put more ram in it earlier and this is when it started to happened. Me and my dad made sure everything wasn't lose in there. But we are going to take it apart one of these days to see whats really going on with it. If my grandpa will lend me $1000.. I will prolly have a 3ghz computer w/ 1GB of ram and win XP pro. So yah. I'll be on AIm for awhile. I'll even have it run to my cell fone. I highly doubt that i will respond if I'm on my cell fone. But if anyone would kindly let know whats going on that will be great. Thanks.

It sounds like a short in the power supply maybe. Replace the power supply. $15. Worst comes to worst you have an extra power supply for new PC. Go to Goodwill. Get more powerful PC than you have-$20. Getting your asswhipped online by ME. PRICELESSS

Hehe. My dad is saying its not the power cord. Something is shorting INSIDE the tower. SOmething isn't tight anymore. I still need to buy a new computer. I've not been able to get on the computer for the past 3 hours becuase it wouldnt boot up! im getting tired of this. I might just leave it runnin 24/7 and reboot once in a while. I dont want to shut it off and not be able to get back on.

Some of/one one the connections is a little loose. Whether it is the video card that needs seated completely [the item that stops a bootup when the heel, the part closes to the front of the computer] comes adrift through vibration, etc. Or any other connection be it a card, ram or any other electical connection in the tower.
That is why you transport the tower in such a manner that the mobo is down so the cards do not fall / vibrate out of their slots.
Seeing it is 4 years old, when was the last time the dust and junk was cleaned out? Age also says it is time to change the mobo battery.
His will be the coin cell battery shown here murfsgarage.cybertechhelp.com/cmos.htm

This above post makes sense Cookie, considering the problem started after you guys got inside it and started tinkering with it.

As for canadian sniper.. Sorry my grammer is that good. I don't care about it. Why do you think i got a F in english? besides the fact i didnt even show up to school 60+ days outta the WHOLE YEAR.
For d'.. I'll try to be on AIM. My phone is prepaid and I have no minutes on them. When I get 50$ i'll put more minutes on them to talk. It'll give me 500 minutes. So thats about 500 text messages. But yah. I'll try going to the library to get on aim to talk. The max I can be on those is 1 hour. So yah.. I might go over to my friends house or to my g/f house to use her computer when i'm not doing anything with her -.-
For fuzznut. I cleaned it out today. The Sound card was just covered in dust. The heat sink was also covered in dust. I don't think it's ever been cleaned. My dad has this can of air thingy that he uses to get it out. When he used it.. It looked like someone going 20mph's on a dirt road. All that dirt coming up. Thats what it looked like. And get on AIM. Lol so I can talk to you other then on this site. I mean it's not bad and all.. Just I dont want to run more then 3 things at a time. I'm afraid that it'll get messed up and I wont be able to get on for another 3 hours again.

Open it up and make sure every goddamn connection is seated well. That's gotta be what it is.
Make sure battery is in there securely.

No it's where Rose McGowen runs around looking fine as hell while murdering people who get in the way of her obsessive crush with her teacher.
