    Go to control panel>power options and set your sleep modes, monitor shutdown time, etc etc.

        dont waste money on watches and buy a good computer. also, stop donwloading and installing junk with spyware and such.

        Ive never had a virus or spyware and i dont even use antivirus stuff.

        My computer works fine.

                          but still, invest your money in other places than watches

                            buying the watch is not an investment, I just get to wear a nice watch for a bit and lose maybe 25% afterwards.

                            I still do not know what to invest in

                                              the preceding has been windows 101 by bujuf.

                                              I think as soon as the stores open you should go out and by something.
                                              you will feel better.
                                              and the guy in the store needs the money, he has a wife and kids to feed.

                                                    Has nothing to do with a pc locking up and asking for a password.
