Glad the new one's working well, I was just wondering if, when you were having all those problems however long ago, you checked the power supply. Power supplies are often overlooked, yet are one of the surest causes for multi-component failure. Apparently, computer parts like to get the proper amount of electricity.

The advantages of building your own computer seem to be smaller these days.

Just get a pre-made and add a few components (ie: graphics card) to make you feel like you built it. *NM*

Nah, it was years ago. The one you gave me advice for was the replacement of the replacement, hah

Ah. yeah, it was one of the pieces that got replaced. It was probably at least partially responsible *NM*

If you like tinkering, then build one. Quality control is all on you, but it's "yours" then.

With a pre-built you can't often do that.

for the record, sometimes stores will remove the bloatware for you

Huh. I have a Compaq too. It shipped with bad RAM, but once I fixed that it's worked like a charm.
