It gets to the point when you just have to write your computer off. At work many of our machines are now 3 years old - 133MMXs with 2 GB HDDs and 32 MB RAM - and I've just heard we've budgeted to replace at least a hundred this year. Mind you, my home PC is a 200MMX, older than that, and it's still going strong - granted I have quadrupled the memory and disk space, though.

I doubt you do much "fragging", as the young call it, as well.

Are you insinuating that he can no longer "get it up?", Liam? Really!

Indeed, UM? Thankfully, I'm quite a bit away from you, so I dare say I'll survive.

I've lost the thread here. Somebody seemed to be implying my legendary sexual stamina isn't what it used to be. Granted, I'm not Ultra Magnus, and I'm certainly not Sol, but I think I do OK. 8)

But how much better would you do if you did UM? Hmm?

Much better, I would assume. Chart Topping better.
So much better, in fact, that if you went to a 7-11 and asked for their best slurpie, but you didn't have enough money, so you asked for the best slurpie you could buy for $0.40, and you spilled some on the ground near a hobo who licked it up, it be better than that.

Yeah! He's the most party-tastic hobo in town!

I'm resurrecting this thread for posterity. I remembered I had started this thread and not mentioned that I fixed the problem. The problem I mentioned about kept bugging me for a few weeks, and nothing I tried would work. However, I chanced asking the admin at our college, in case he knew, and he suggested that the power connectors on the mother board were corroded, ie. the point where the power cable from the adaptor plugs into the board. So following his advice I repeatedly unplugged and plugged the connector in order to physically scrape off the corrosion, and it worked, the PC booted up fine after that and hardly never crashes now.
Unfortunately something's gone wrong with the video drivers and now I've to fix that.
