I agree with you pain in the rrrs when not working.

I had the same problem and ended up buying a new pc.

This turned out to be due to a worm or something that ate the hard drive records and rendered it broke, even though I had all the boot discs it just would not start.

I took it to a well known universal computer shop and they suggested that it was not worth repairing and had i thought about a new one which would cost about 1500 quid.

Thats my wheels budget so I ended up buying a better spec cheaper one for 6oo. Still too much money on a pc just because some clever bugger can hack and do nasty things.

Hope yours doesnt go the same way as mine did, in the skip
