Op Does this explain the lunch you blew in wayno's general direction on rofft? What the hell was that mess? When was the last time you blew out all the dust bunnies from inside your computer case? And checked that all the fans are operating? /daytripper

"Mr. Opus McDopus" wrote ... My 'puter keeps locking up? I get these aqua green vertical lines on the screen and then the **** hits the fan! Any ideas? HELP! Stop looking at the porno sites. Those spyware thingies will kill yer machine. Seriously, sounds like a video card issue or an overheating problem, but it's tough to say without a better description of events when the **** hits the fan. Assuming you're virus free and you've checked for and deleted any spyware (AVG Free for the viruses, and AdAware or Windows Defender for the spyware), then.... If it just locks up, as in no response from keyboard/mouse, I'd wonder about anything else that may be running in the background. Are you downloading something? Is a proggy trying to update itself? Will it come back to life if you leave it for a while (15 minutes)? Does control-alt-delete get a response? Can you boot into safe mode (hit F8 a million times during boot-up)? Does this help the problem? If no response from CAD or safe mode, then my guess is a hardware problem. Is your fan running? Is the 'puter in an area with good airflow? Fans break over time, and overheating causes funky stuff. Is the fan exhaust thingy covered with dust? More info, por favor. Dan

I took the 'puter into the tech support here at the university--free service and all that--they called a little bit ago and said the IDE failure I discovered in the "boot diagnostics" was a hard drive issue. They are a Dell repair center, so they contacted Dell, found out I was still under warranty and ordered me a hard drive. They'll install it tomorrow! I love workin' for the university! Op
