Sorry to take your time guys. As I said before, to some extent I enjoy computers and its vicissitudes... Talked with shop right now. I have a generic computer with an ASUS Mobo and a Pentium 4 (I believe 2.6). It was giving me all kinds of problems. It had Windows XP Pro and I have the Vista Upgrade.
They said that when they get the computer ON in AM the processor temperature goes to 60 degrees but when they installed Vista the temperature went much higher and the computer stopped. They said that the solution is a new Pentium 4 Chip which I just bought and will bring back to them in the end of the month (I will be in Baltimore in September). I just want to see if the computer will work with the new Pentium 4, and if they can install Windows Vista so that I may upgrade when Windows 7 comes in. The guy said that they will do it...with the new chip. I am concerned... By the beginning of October I will give you all a follow up...
