Well, hi dee ho. I am kinda sorta back, maybe just for tonight. Doc didn't know what is wrong, so it's time for a 2nd opinion. Any of you techies wanna help? What it does is just freeze up. I never know how much time I am going to have; could be several hours, or several minutes. When it freezes, nothing responds--not mouse, not keyboard, not nada. I just have to push the button, turn it off, and re boot. Usually it has to stay shut down several hours or it will freeze during the re boot. Doc changed the hard drive, and it still did it.......wouldn't even accept new programing, so we put the old hard drive back in, and here we are, for a little bit...................
