i have a 3 year warrany on my compaq. over teh past 2.5 years, I've had my hard drive replaced 4 times, 2 new AC adaptors and a new battery. also, my screen was replaced once. basically, the computer sucks.. the fan dies quickly and it overheats in 30 minutes. the rule at compaq is that they will replace computers after the same part is changed 4 or more times, but I do not want to wait for my hard drive to die once again because I'm a college student who needs her computer daily. does anyone know of something i can do to the computer that will force compaq to just replace my entire computer?

You cannot sabotage your computer. The technicians are well trained. They can easily spot most sabotage. That will void the warranty. You'll just have to take your chances or get another computer while you wait. They're getting pretty cheap. You might be able to get an adequate one for around $250 dollars or a better one for more.

Problem: Compaq. They're POS.
Get a white box (or rather, have someone build one up for you). My C drive is going on nine years, and my last upgrade was back in like '01.
