...Or, you could take it out back, get a nice, hefty sledge hammer, and...try to tap the circuits together to work better. Actually, i have no idea what im talking about. Just smash the damn thing and throw it in your neighbors yard to make it look like they stole it and busted it. Sue them, get tons of money, become rich and famous and forget about a computer.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Scarface2 My computer hates me! It keeps shuting off when i'm posting a thread! It slows down when it wants to shut off and does it by itself! * Computer is Breaking down again* * Walks away slowly crying for a mechanic *[/quote] I suggest you do all of these: [*] Download Spybot:Search and Destroy (and run it with the lates updates) [*] Disk Cleanup [*] Disk Defragamenter [*] An anti-virus program Do all of these and your computer should work.If not,then buy a new computer.You can get really nice Dell computers (new) for around $300.
