She took it to a place and paid them $60 for a diagnostics of why her PC was shutting down whenever she attempted to print or tried running a music program she has that runs thru MIDI. (she's a music teacher). They told her that they looked at it and had no idea, but they still charged her. I found the problem and it was not heat related, but I wanted to prove to her that it was not heat. I'll explain later...I have to go back to work from break.

Edit: Okay, so I'm back to finish the story. So I open the thing up and see that she's running XP on 1 stick of 256MB. I laugh and tell her that I will set her up with more memory, so I go to Intrex and pick up a Gig for $40 total. I also looked at the shabby job somebody did on coating the processor, so I greased it with some of my Arctic Sil ver 5. I ran all the good cleaning programs for spyware, virii and misc. Now I have her system booting faster than she's ever dreamed possible and there are no more black-outs. I would love to call the company in Goldsboro and laugh at them for their incompetence.
