| Vista Home Premium x64 |  Comp is dead..thoughts on what to do in the meantime? So my computer will power up but not post. I checked all the connections, cleaned out everything, etc etc. Hopefully its just my cpu since I've been overclocking it for two years... Now I have to wait a week for a diagnosis at Microcenter. While I have my ****ty IBM desktop at work, I feel I'm already in a state of withdrawal. Thoughts on what to do to help pass the time? |

I'm hoping if some stuff is broken (praying not the hard drive) that I can upgrade  4. Where I work people can barely figure out XP |

| Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP2 | Re: Comp is dead..thoughts on what to do in the meantime? Take your PC apart and detail it, cleaning all the dust and crap out of it... so it will be sparkling when/if you upgrade the RAM?  |

| Vista Home Premium x64 | Re: Comp is dead..thoughts on what to do in the meantime? Did that already after it died...it was quite bad. Big ooops on my part in that regard. If its the CPU I'm thinking the Q9550 (as its $170 now)...thoughts? |

| Vista Home Premium x86 / Win7 Ultimate x86 | Re: Comp is dead..thoughts on what to do in the meantime? Fantasize about how computers will be integrated in our brains? Fixing your system would be like a visit to the shrink. |
