Hi Jennny,
Flor has the right idea but!
Like myself in the past my tower was ten years and started to "give up the
ghost"!
Yes resussatation
was called for but no joy!
Too many upgraded software in a tower which couldn't really take such!
Don't know if NCBI can help but they will certainly help you with the recycle
and dispose of it for you!
Have a look around and you will be pleasantly surprised with what new is
around now!
Laptops aren't not too expensive now and of course netbooks and if you are
going to "splash out" then the iPhone perhaps.
Good luck with all that.
Bestt,
Tony Sweeney----- Original Message -----

Hi Jenny,
This could be the problem. Are your computer fans still working
properly? there are two. One of them is for the power supply; the other
is for the computer itself. Sometimes, in a situation where a fan isn't
working properly, either because it's dirty or malfunctioning, to avoid
overheating the computer will switch itself off. (They continue to work
intermittently, until eventually they stop working mostly, then stop
altogether, when things become too hot.) When fans are working
correctly, you should feel a breeze blowing through the vents on the
back. If that is less than it should be or is non-existent then it's
time to get it cleaned or a new fan. Your computer shop will be able to
check it out.
