[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 299900, member: 6969"] I know what a command prompt is, and was using DOS long before windoze was invented, but I've never heard on an elevated command prompt. I really don't want to go down the re install route unless it dies. When we got this PC the instructions were to burn a recovery DVD. I think I tried 5 times to do that, and all failed on "verifying the data" at which point I gave up the will to continue. So I don't even know if we have the means to re install. If it came to that, I would try putting windoze XP on it, a far superior OS than the POS Vista is. I'm sure I've already said, but I've tried Malware bytes, CCleaner and the AVG Pc tuneup utility. Nothing found anything wrong. I'm willing to try anything else you care to suggest. I've not downloaded any monitors to check CPU temperature etc, but I do know the fan turns on and off periodically just as it always has. [/QUOTE]
