I'm not sure that dust would cause the problem, maybe over time. If
it was really, REALLY dusty it could cause the unit to overheat.
Probably just it's time.
You could look at this unit at Circuit City CPQ SR2002X Compaq
Presario SR2002X Desktop PC
Using yourcurrent monitor, its not a bad buy. Check around though because there are lots of deals.
Again, a local computer shop, if reliable, can set you up pretty well
also.
Basically comes down to waht you can afford, but I hate to waste $$
on computers. They depreciate fast.

What would fail if the back of the computer got too
dusty...motherboard? I am trying to figure out right now what to
buy. Circuit city is in one town, Office Depot in another...

take the RAM chips out and reseat them. That is a longshot.
Could be bad RAM or back to the motherboard issue. I'd definately
back up any data you might need.
At any rate, if you can find the $$, an upgrade might be in
order.

Somehow, I got windows back up...it's freaking out on me..most

any sec so I am saving every line. don't know if I will see a
response, but Rob, I am running 98SE...full I may go out
tonight and just buy another computer...charge....<sigh> I
think we've patched this thing enough. I made a boot disk, and
I have a CD-not sure if Cd is bootable. I've never reformatted
a drive or re-installed windows before on my own. fumbling in
the dark here..never booted from a disk either. I checked the
boot sequence in the bios..floppy is first, then hard drive,
then cd. I can't seem to change it-everytime I look at it it
is back to listing the floppy first. I honestly don't know how
I am on now, with windows running. It's just not my day..I also
broke the BORROWED pressure washer. If that ain't enough to
make you curse...
Bev, throwing hands up in the air and hoping for a quick
response before I step off the cliff to attempt a reformat.

Bev, Exception errors are usually one of those common errors
seen by Windows programmers. It indicates a programming
error in the routines which concern the "exception handler"
which coordinates which programs are accessing which parts of
memory. HOWEVER, I have also seen this error crop up when a
memory board goes bad. A program goes to access a piece of
data it has placed in memory and it is not there (or can't
access it) and assumes someone else "stole" it. So unless
you have been doing your own programming, I will assume you have a bad memory board. I would replace the memory board
before I bothered reinstalling Windows.
