I as well, Its always a bad day when you buy something that doesn't work.

be very suspicious and careful with reg fixers

LOL that reminds me of the old days where i used to play this one game minimized because my system did not meet the min.. as soon as i would blow it up to full screen it would crash.. Heck i wish i could remember that games name.. was to cheap to upgrade back then

You failed to mention what all has to come with this computer... Monitor? Do you have an extra keyboard/mouse lying around or do uoi need that as well? dialup Modem? is she going to be using dialup or cable/dsl? sound? do you have a extra set of speakers or does this not matter? When asking for information on a $200-250 computer you need to specify exactly what you need in order to get the best help. I may be able to get a decent system priced out for Granny if most or all of the items above are not needed

LOL remember the Msconfig debate? that was great. I still ask why when you can use a program such as "starter" (AIDA32)

Usually when people ask this question is due to a ban for cheating ext... I sure hope this is not the reason why you ask because i in noway support cheating of any kind. I live by work if you want it and if you can't get it then your not working hard enough. I do like helping people so this is where you start Change MAC-Address on Demand I almost didn't respond due to i know i have helped cheaters before with this info. DON'T CHEAT Thank you

Okay i am going to recap a little here for you things you may want to try 1. Heat Yes, I know you already looked into this, Yes, the common response to heat is take a can of air and clean it. This is my way in diag heat issues, Take a house fan open the side of the case and turn on high blowing into the computer while you are doing whatever made it crash before. If this helps at all then "Buy a can of PCB cleaner" (Printed circuit board) at Radio shack ext... Unplug the computer and let sit for oh about 20 minutes (just unplug it before you goto the store to buy the can and do it when you get

Okay with that said I would suggest when possible always try to get the driver for the device at the manufacture website (always) when possible. of coarse this is not always possible with older hardware.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you for pointing that out there Bubba Speed reading can bite you sometimes. as well as jumping threw 4 different help forums at 1 time. Are you sure that the other monitor you tried is a working one? perhaps you have a Friend near by that you could check this? really no reason for you not to get the bios boot screen if the monitor is working and you tried both, Another theory is You have to change the Primary graphics to onboard in the bios for the onboard to switch back on. I know allot of bios have this feature and you can change it fro AGP/PCI/onboard.. If yo
