Dell diminsion 2400, will crash and turn power off.
I have installed new anti-virus protection, new modem, all i have available for now is dial up where I live. had 256 ram installed another 512 have windows defender,spy bot S/D. I have windows XP home. Most crashes occur when trying to connect with internet but not always. Cleaned out cobwebs and dust bunnies, hooked up a fan blowing directly on inside of puter. Basicly done all I have been told to do. When I do connect I can be surfing and sometimes it will randomly shut down. Would love to resolve this myself if possible. My recovery disk has been lost or I would try to wipe hard drive and reinstall win.XP Please can anyone give me a helping hand with this. If I can find someone I would spend my dime on a call for the help.
THANKS in advance for all input.
Also along with these problems there are times when the CD-ROM will open and close ALL BY ITSELF. This is driving me nuts. Thanx for any help

An internet connection can become slow or stop working due to a number of reasons depending on the type of the connection. Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz

I believe that you just ought to get up for your self now or this will likely hold to occur. Maybe permit your mom in legislation understand that whilst you recognize the entire stuff that she offers you, that you simply would not have room for it. Find one way or the other to compromise together with your husband. Maybe handiest hold a couple of matters or some thing. You 2 simply ought to paintings by way of it in combination. Come up with a plan that makes either one of you glad. I would not transfer out of the bed room even though. That sounds a little bit severe.

Dell 2400 is a piece of junk. Plop down about $750 on a decent model.

www.lavasoft.com Get Adaware for free, you have malware, spyware, tracking cookies, and maybe a trojan. Go to Symantec.com and go to support, viruses and have it do an online scan of your hard drive. That's free too.
