I have a P4 3ghz which I built in 2004.
It has been great. Runs all the stuff I need perfectly I don't really
need any upgrades.
Recently it has been having problems - crashing etc. So I bought a new
hard disk and reinstalled Win XP.
It worked for a bit, but now it won't even start windows it just hangs
at the loading windows logo.
What is it with electronics? Do manufacturers put a shelf life on
their products so that they die after a set number of years? I had a
dell as well which after 3 years just gave up the ghost and would not
longer work either. Same with my TFT 4 years later it is dead.
Whereas my old CRT was going strong after 8 years!
Oh well looks like a new computer is required :-(
