Thanks everyone... sorry for the delay... Just got back up.
When I opened my case... DAMN!!! yes, very dusty. Blew out most, but need to get with my neighbor and use his compressor for the rest.
You ask what os... Windows XP pro.
Just as I thought everything was ok... I get a blue screen stating that the win32.sys file was the error. Re-installed the OS and it seems fine.. for now anyway.
Would dust and overheating cause file corruption like that? I mean there was a point where I could not even get the very 1st bios screen. Just a blank monitor.
Also wondering if something got in under my defenses... Norton cannot catch everything, as I said before, this just started happening a few days ago.
Again, thanks for you help all suggestions welcome.
