Computers & Internet - 24 September 2007

So today at 6AM, I turned on my comp. to review a report for school. W/n 15 minutes of reading it, my comp suddenly shuts down. I let it go as a "overheating power supply" Once I get back from school 8 hours later, I find that my comp. still isn't turning on. I've tried, restarting it, unplugging the main cord, but nothing has worked so far. I'm reasoning this as a dead power supply, but I may be wrong. Do you have any idea as to what could possibly be wrong w/ my computer.

Oh and I've had this dekstop for 4 years now w/ the same power supply. I'm not sure if I should get a new comp, or just get a new power supply.

I understand the only difference between the academic version and the full regular version of Microsoft Office 2003 Professional are pricing and licensing terms. If so can someone give me the retail price of the academic version and what the differences are in the licensing terms. Thanks

I have been having trouble with my computer turning itself off. It does this all of the time. It is not a heating issue. i have talked to a lot of different people from msn, verizon, emachines and microsoft. they all told me to try something different and none of it worked. nobody can seem to help me figure out the problem. i have windows xp. i would really appreciate any advice. thanks

I just downloaded SpyBot Search and Destroy, I scanned my computer and removed all the problems... I am still having pop-ups after that. What is going on? I have a firewall and I have pop-up blockers. It said there are no more problems. What's the deal?
