ka-pow!!

Yea ...I had the same thing happen...Damn commercials...lol

Make sure that your virus scanner is updated so it can catch the latest bugs. A virus can wreak havoc on a computer. If you need good, free virus protection..google the AVG virus protection. Just don't use more than one of these at a time because they fight each other and slow down your machine

If you have a portable house fan, set it in front of the computer and direct it into the front of the computer while you are on here till you get it fixed. Fans do go bad. They could be only turning half speed. If you overheat the processor it will damage it.
The corrupt file message could mean you have a virus also.
Make sure and run all your virus scans that you have.
Your machine may be ok if its just a corrupt file.
Write down EXACTLY what the corrupt file message is so you can tell the experts what the problem is.
Nobody told me to come here...I was just looking through this and found you...lol

AMD K7 will tell Best Buy the type of processor and the age of your machine. Yes this info helps. My hard drive was only 40 dollars on sale last year. I got a 160 GB which is plenty big enough for your machine.
Go To START...Run...and then type in dxdiag and hit enter.
This will tell you what Operating System you have. It should be Windows 98 or XP

AMD K7 is the brand of your processor.
You have a Windows based system.
If your comp.shuts down and then is fine later on...you could be getting it too hot.
1. Check your filter in the front panel if it has one. It could be plugged.
2. Check your fans to make sure they are all running and not full of dirt.
3. Your power supply could be going bad also. It will get hot and shut down.
4. If you have your original Windows XP disc. You can start the computer with the disc in the drive and re-load Windows which may be corrupted. When you get to the part that asks whether you want to completely re-load Windows or REPAIR Windows...choose repair and it will repair the areas that run the Operating system without messing with your files.
5. If you choose to buy a new hard drive..get a Western Digital Caviar SE 7200 RPM. It MUST be an EIDE type so the plugs match. Look for it in a GREEN box. I bought and installed this myself and it works great. I also built my computer.
6. Use your old drive as a second drive in your computer and you can pull info off it when you like. Just change the jumpers on the back of the old drive like it tells you in the instructions of the new drive. This old drive will now be the SLAVE. The new drive will be the Master.

I have also been having problems but I found out that it was the Internet Explorer...not the service provider. I just switched over to Mozilla Firefox and it works fine!!

Sundays will be a lot better when the season starts!!! GO STEELERS!!!!!
