Computer hell

The best and most fun way is to feel for it with a finger. I wouldn't go jamming a finger down in the fins, but close enough to feel them whizzing past your finger.

Also, if it's a heat thing that's just now come up and the fan is still working, dust can be a culprit. It clogs the heatsink fins and keeps air from flowing freely which can push temps pretty high and cause instability. Just getting some canned air down there and blowing that dust out can lower temps double digits.

OK, I'll open it up again tomorrow and try that.

Here's the exact error message:

Not really most of those just read a script and follow the instructions.

I'm sure they do.

But my first suggestion was a computer repair place. There's a place around the corner from my house that fixed my old computer and did a wonderful job saving my hard drive. It was worth the $100 or so I spent and the time saved.

Nah if we lived close you know I'd help you for free just so I could piss off bbgun. :laugh2:

If you'd stop standing me up when I come to town I could have pissed him off already.

I promise not to, the next time you come down. But only if you can try to be on a side of town that's not an hour away from me, we might have better luck.

Not yet. Still busy testing/eliminating other things from consideration.

Mine was the same blue screen and it worked. I haven't had an issue since.

Good luck.

I would call the manufacturer or take it to the repair shop.
