. . . She ordered, received and installed a new power supply -- no change in her status. . . Below is the original post -- ANY other help, suggestions, thoughts would be greatly appreciated. . . She's way out in the desert with only a cellphone to communicate via text message (and I believe she can access the website -- but not post very well or easily). . . I'll be relaying any info/suggestions. . . Thanks. . . . MiddleFingerMom . . . ********************************************************************** . . . Her computer has CRASHED and she can't even get it turned on (and yes, the first thing I asked about was whether or not it was plugged in). . . She's communicating with me thru her cellphone in little text bursts that I've tried to string together. . . Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. She's out in the desert on a ranch in Arizona 60 miles from REAL civilization and no reliable vehicle to get her there. . . I worry for her well-being... having to go cold-turkey like this. . . . Here goes: . . From Kali: . Help please - dead computer Cheapo Compac Presario SR1810NX XP new in 2006 wont turn on. Green "on" light flashes fast. Only stops /// . about a minute AFTER unplugging. Flashing is much faster than normal flash when dormant. Shut itself off without warning a few times /// . in the last few months - thought it was our electric but no other clocks/appliances affected. Other possible symptoms: runs REALLY slow /// . for about 20 min usually at start but randomly at other times too. (see a previous post I did on this) After kids play game ("Civilization"?) /// . often gives pop up warning re: low virtual memory error. Thx in advance - will check in from library tomorrow /// . . .
