…And Demi, and Alenya…

I’m off to Seattle for a week starting on Tuesday (5/25) and will be out of computer touch for a while, that is unless one of them brings a lap top with ‘em.  If not, I’ll be back up and running on June 1st.

Help!

I know there has to be a few tech savy people out there that might be able to help me with my problem. My PC has been doing some really weird crap. I all ready had one of the tech guys at my job look the computer over, and he said that it was fixed. It actually worked for a couple of weeks, and then it started to screw up again. I figured it had to deal with something I downloaded, so I uninstalled the download, and it worked again.

If I’m doing just normal computer stuff (checking e-mail, surfing the web, etc..) then it is fine. Though, once I load one of my games (The Sims 3 or Dragon Age), my computer will play for maybe five minutes, then it will crash. It takes me to a blue screen first (with a different error each time), and then my computer tries to reboot itself.  I should mention that it makes a strange beeping sound when it is trying to reboot itself.  Now I’m not able to turn the piece of crap computer on.  I’m at a lost. I mean, my PC isn’t even that old (a couple of years at the most), so it shouldn’t be doing this. It seems like my only option is to take it to a computer place and get it fixed, but I wanted to throw the problem out there to see if anyone else had any ideas for me before I started spending my money on something.

Thanks for the help, if you are able to help.

I was hired by the census and training is over an hour away so we’re going to stay in a hotel for the next few days so posting will be slow in between training breaks.
