Ok, I used my PC before I went to work today and it was 100% fine. I shut it down and left. When I got home, I tried turning the computer on and nothing happened. The power doesn't even go on. How could something like this happen while I'm at work, if it wasn't even on, and it perfectly ok before?!! I have an emachines T2885, running Windows XP home edition and it's only 2-3 years old. It shouldn't be dead already! I called Best Buy and they said it might be the motherboard, but they charge $80 to look at it and I don't have that to spare right now just for them to LOOK at it. So is there anything I can do myself, without having to bring it to them? Can the cause of this possibly be something other than my motherboard? How do i find out? And if it IS the motherboard, how much can I expect to pay? Best Buy said $200-300, but for that much I would just buy a new PC....Please help, I have a lot of important things on there that I need!!

It's a Compaq (which may explain ALOT right there). It loads very slowly, and the yellow light is constantly flashing on and off during normal use, slowing everything down to a crawl. I have high speed cable, not dial up so why is this happening?

I'm thinking of upgrading my computer and I just want to upgrade one or two parts at a time. What should I start with?

Here's what I have now:
ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard (939 slot),
AMD 64 FX-55 processor,
1 Geforce 7800 GTX graphics card,
2 GIG Corsair RAM,
Westerdigital hard drives (SATA connected),
500w powersupply.

My first thoughts are to just go for a new motherboard and the new Intel duel cores but I wanted to see what you guys thought. I mostly use my computer for gaming. Thanks for the help.

I purchased a computer back in December of 2005 with a one year warranty on it. However, it has been in the shop more than it has been HERE!!! Then, I finally have had enough & take it somewhere else for repairs!! Only to find out that it has a 7-year old processor in it!!! And the processor MUST be replaced SOON!! Meanwhile, I've spent another $400 getting it to RUN!!

I have reported the company that sold me the PC to the Better Business Bureau. I am considering taking the company to small claims court if the issues aren't resolved by the Better Business Bureau!! In the meantime, what do I do? As I am attending college online and my PC crashes OFTEN....... I am so TIRED of this piece of junk!! I just wish he'd come pick it up & hand me my money back so I can actually have a PC that works more than 1/4 of the time!!!!

I have tried several different speed tests and never got that high. Of course I have shut down all other programs and sometimes put two or more programs on to ensure that both cores were being counted. Sometimes it is as low as 1G<. Other times it exceeds 2G, but very, very rarely. Any ideas?
