Thanks for the tip Sir Troth. I will try that if my local tech cannot find the problem. He thinks it is the new processor and, since he had to search for one that worked on my machine, I am inclined to agree with him. Just hope he comes up with a processor that does work. The first processor he brought out would not work. I am not savvy enough to ask questions about that. I had assumed a new processor would not be that hard to find and install and sure never thought it would cause anything but a faster pc.
