Computer Update

Thanks so much to everyone who sent suggestions for my computer. The general consensus was that it's definitely a hardware failure. Most likely an issue with overheating. I've taken the step of cleaning out the inside of the computer with a can of compressed air. The fan is now nice and dust free (a necessity here because Oklahoma's alternate name is Dustland). We'll see if that works. I'm not so sure I want to mess with replacing the power supply for this machine. It's several years old and I can likely replace it for less hassle. I would like to get at least a year more out of it though so let's hope making the insides a little less dusty will help.
