| >Rather than give you one step at a time, I'm going to

| >Start with the first step on the list, and if you have
| any questions
| >please feel free to ask them before continuing. Good
| luck!

| >1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily
| disable Startup

| >2. Run a virus scan at:

| >5. Dust your fans, vents and components using a 1/4"
| paintbrush
| >and a hose vacuum. Use compressed air for hard to reach
| places.
| >Set a housefan to blow cold air into your case to detect

| to remove all
| >extra adapters (network cards, extra RAM sticks, modem,
| scussi,
| >sound card, unplug CD drives if not needed to verify
