Default Re: need to keep my computer alive.

Free Upgrade: Don't hit your computer with a hammer!

You noted your drives, do they make a crunching noise at the beginning? If so I would anticipate a hard drive failure soon. Not sure about the PSU, but they are relatively cheap. Perhaps it would be worth picking one up to try?

Was there a specific event that made your computer start doing this? You know, lightning storm, spilled drinks, overheating, etc.
