As of Thursday,i've been getting the blue screen every time i got on.Would have to hard boot and go through all kinds of crap to get back on,then 5 minutes later i'd get the blue screen again and have to start over.Have gone through every F8 option(restore,etc.)and was(probably still will)going to chuck it in the garbage this morning and go get a new one.My last move was to put it in Safe mode and so far i've been on here for an hour with no problems.It's an old system i bought about 6 years ago(Dell Dimension 9100)and over the years have had it constantly upgraded(paid $2,000 for this old dinosaur back then and at least another $1,000 over the years just to keep it going).My go to guy said it's more than likely just wearing out,possibly a mother board or something(and i'm sure i picked up a virus lately)and since new ones are so cheap now just to toss it and go get a new one(i don't game or anything so don't need anything too fancy).Since it appears to be fine now(as long as it's in Safe mode)i'll probably run it 'til the wheels fall off,was just wondering if any of you guys had any ideas about straightening this one back out before i have to spend my mods. stash and go buy a new one?
