Ray I think you called it that damn thing crashed yesterday. Crashed (noun and adjective): Common accurence with windwos. Symptoms: Unresponsive programs, a blue colored screen, mouse and keybored ignored, and otherwise describing doom.
Now it won't even boot. As I am now in the market for a new desktop because I've put about at least 300 into the DEL (see also doom, crash, and crappy computers, highblood preasure, and general dystopic state with a yen to crush the world) I'm disinclined to much more, if any into it. I'd prefer a computer that rocks. For me that meens can play games, kick ass parts so as it's not in the damn shop costing as much or more than I initially payed for. Based on my now soured taste twards this dell and having replaced the hard drive 3 times, It'd be preferable to have one with two seperate hardrives so as backup is simple and easy. I saw a green tank one Amazon for 900. (with free prime shipping) from CyberPowerPC with 16gigs of ram and Nvidia of some sort that sported 2 gigs of ram In in the interest of transparency: I might prefer to replace this DEL because it, or windows iritiates me. I'd prefer to Keep the Hard drive it has (If it's still good) It's power converter and motivators are bad then that's likely at least 30, and it doesn't feel like it's aging gracefully. It might make a good little linux box, provided I can put in a new hard drive What others do if they were in my place? New computer? (newer parts meen less wear and tear and other issues) Replace the failed part (god knows where to even get one in santafe)? Both? (Might buy a small amount of time till new computer) : What kind of computer would people recomend? I've used and enjoyed Apples in the past. If there's a PC brand that rocks by all meens sugest some.
