Lord Snow: The DVD drive has been crook for a while, noisy but working *L* Since replacing it still have had no freezing or shutting down at all. And i dont need know how it worked, just that it seems to have solved those problems and i'm thankful.
I dont think its overheating either, used to would freeze a minute or so after being turned on upto an hour or so (never slowed down *sorry missed the no in original post there* just froze or restarted). And now i can run it as long as i like, providing i do not let it go into hibernation OR go onto screensaver.
Sound card isnt a connection problem, checked all that.
The damn thing is still very noisy though...grrrrrrrr. It is old though (6-7yrs), and has never been turned off since i got it, runs 24/7 (well except for power outs *L*) So i spose its entitled to get the sads eventually, things arent built to last forever.
Bilbo has the same puter, and it is not having any issues at all, i think mine is just overworked and tired to be honest. I'll just keep it going as long as possible, run it into the ground so to speak, and replace it when i can.
So if i disappear for a real length of time, chances are its given up the ghost *LOL*

I'm sorry to hear you are having computer problems again. I recall when you last had a demon get into your machine and all the script was displayed as yellow text. I guess that is the final sign that it is dead and you have to replace it right then. Good luck with getting the most out of what is left before you have to run out and get a new one.

I know what you mean. It's possible to live without the internet, but who would want to?

I'm still here *L*
Stupid thing, no longer as noisy, still not completely normal running sounds though.
Its just the hibernation/screensaver thing that is the big issue.

I've got an easy solution.
Just stay awake and keep posting so that the screensaver never kicks in and the machine can't go into hibernation.

lol The easier way to fix that problem is just turn the screensaver and hibernation mood off.

I think she's past the point of salvage. It does sound like she has all the signs she knows means that it is time for a new puter.

Thanks for trying to help guys.
But i think we got it!!
I'm in the middle of reloading update after update. We ended up taking it back to factory settings. While reinstalling the mouse froze, but not the computer. Changed the mouse over for another (one changed was exactly 3 weeks old grrrrr) have not had a freeze, slow up, etc since. Puter now comes out of screensaver and hibernation...wooohoooooo.
Still slightly noisy, but so far, its working! Fingers crossed.
