Just wanted you to know that I found the problem.. It was not a hard ware
problem.. but dirt* or rather tons of dust in the tower.. Normally I clean
my tower often, but have overlooked it for some time.. Lots of things
going on in my life at the moment, so I just didn't think about it..
When
I was reading a thread online for someone having the same problem, they
mentioned dirt.. so I immediately went to Walmart and bought a can of air,
and a new *surge protector, since mine was only showing one yellow light
and
one green one.. The new one has all lights showing..but I don't know if
that
was part of the problem or not.

The dirt has to be so thick that (for example) no holes existed in
the heatsink). If not, then you may have only cured a symptom -
heating being a diagnostic tool to find defective hardware. This
summer is a good time to locate defective hardware. Operate the
computer in a room that is 100 degrees F. Best is to execute
diagnostics. No matter what the computer executes, it must work
perfectly fine even in that 100 degree room. If not, then you still
have defective hardware.

Any computer that works just fine in 100 degrees should also work
just fine with dirt in a 70 degree room. Unfortunately many clean a
computer, see no problem, then blame the dirt - also called curing
symptoms. Any desktop or laptop must work happy and fine all day in a
100 degree room. If not, then heat is the diagnostic tool to find
defective hardware.

Interesting concept. Normally the failing computer gets moved out.
Instead, you intend to move out before the computer fails. Leave it
for the next owner to suffer failure. Problem solved.

I don't think so.. lol My whole computer is not failing, I will replace
components if I need to.. but not leave it.. it's the only computer I have
and very little money to replace it.. Problem might be solved for you, but
not for me hugs Rainy

After reading so many replies in this topic, you conclusions are too
much reality for me. Letting a next homeowner suffer is more
satisfying - especially when it is not my computer.

Well you have a simple fix for your computer if you know the day it is
