PC answer (copied)

First.
I want to thank all of you, who offered help. I know this is going back a bit.

I gave the the thing to an IT guy at work. He says, (a) (the)?? Video card was bad, when the thing would start up, it got to there, and got "confused", and then just shut down again.

I dunno. Way over my head. No new parts!, No replacements! ( no money, other than some beer)

I brought it home today. I have been online for a while, re-loading, and doing system updates.

Man-O-Man!

I want to offer my heart felt sincere thanks to all of you folks who "chimed in" to help me out.

You guys are great!

? 

Yeah, me too.

I guess, bad is realtive.

Like I said, he is an in house IT guy, maybe he put a new one in.?


Real question is what should I give him??

20 bucks? 40?  He did it on his own time.  Case of beer?

R.  You got the ball rolling with your post.  I was gonna leave it sit.  I am a real procrastinator.

Yeah.  I that's what he  did.  I was dead O/W. So I don't feel "taken".

He's a friend (and  Purple fan), I don't wan't to disrespect him....

You know.

Thanks bud.

I agree.  Case O' beer. and a few bucks.

He'll need help drinking it...........and of course you dregs think tha beer is well............
