Hi, I am working on a friends computer and the computer is functioning really slow. Not to mention the computer will just lock up and you have to reboot. Now the person they had fix their computer orignally replaced thier hard drive, put more ram in and thats about it. Well the retard didnt put any fans in the computer so the only fans where the one on the CPU and the one in the power supply. The computer ran this way for about a year and started having these problems. I tryed putting a new harddrive in the computer and tryed formatting it and it only got so far and stopped. Ohh sorry let me back up a bit and let you know I did try anti virus and things like that. I even tryed a new ribbon cable between the hard drive and the mother board and that didnt work. So Im kinda at a loss and I am wondering if any one has had this problem or if any one has any ideas on what the fix for the problem could be or what I should do to go about trouble shooting this one.
Thank you, RS
