(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Our home computer will just lock up and you have to shut it off to fix it or it will just shut down on its own whild you are in the midst of doing something. Last night it just died. I was on the club and the monitor went blank then it had the little flashing dash in the upper left corner. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) It would not do anything else so I unplugged it. This morning I plug it in and turn it on and all it will do is show the start up screan with the processor info. Any ideas other than replacing it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Yes im at work now posting this and will be here untill midnight. Fun Fun

I agree with Clay 100%, I do support for over 300 users and 99% of the time it is PEBKAC. User error. I have about 10 MAC users and they have problems too from time to time as well. Why would they give me a MAC to learn if they didnt need support. Sure, the MAC is a good machine, but like Clay said, there are more Windows users than MAC users, therefore you will have more problems with Windows users. James, your $400.00 Dell came with only a 3 month subscription to Norton Anti virus, you must have updated the subscription on that. Those machines have their place, but unless you are an informed user, you will get adware and other crap on your computer just browsing the web. The computer I am on has not had one problem since I got it last January and I spend a lot more time on it than most people.
