Having problems with main computer which may end up terminal,due to some parts being unavailable and some so expensive it would be a better option to get a new one,anyhow while the old one is still running I have been backing up my doc's and photo's could not believe it 10,198 photo's to copy probably most of them fishing related (did not know I had caught so many)lol.was advised not to do a complete back up as it could cause problems with a new one.

No wonder it's misbehaving! Clear your photos, docs, music etc off and do a reset. Might be ok, you never know.

Should back the pics up to the cloud. So don't use your memory up. Problem with computers is they get outdated easy

It's the fan on the main power input unit it's a complete thing and a absolute cow to get to and is very expensive although only about 5 years old as kel says already lacking a bit in technology

You can get a half decent new psu for £40 I think its something to do with the size of the frame and what else has to fit into it, he did say if it had been a normal size frame there would be no problem he fixed one or two other small problems it had (for free)its now running better than ever apart from a very noisy fan which can only be replaced by a very expensive manufacturers unit (cannot fault the service) tbh I have moved on in what I need from a computer so a more up to date one maybe in order.

My advice Phil is buy a new one after a couple of years most computers are old hat but that does not stop us keeping them I have just replaced my old pc (also 6yesrs old)and the difference is amazing .I still have the old one if you want some bits but by the time you factor in picking it up it won't be worth your while it's an old dell vostro by the way .Wait till new year an pick up a bargin lol

Laptops are the way forward and if u wanting to view on bigger screen hook up your tv or something. When I work from home I have mt work laptop hooked up to my 52inch tv. Makes designing web pages alot easy. Get decent laptop for few hundred
