So... *crosses fingers*... the computer seems to be fairly stable for now. I'm not sure how long that will last, but I might be able to get a chapter finished while it holds out. I'd love that to be tommorrow, but we'll have to wait and see.
I have a dell, and it was a good computer when I got it. However, I would recommend finding a local computer store and having a computer custom built to your specifications. Dell uses a special tower that only their parts will fit, like the power supply, motherboard, etc. And after a short time, they stop making the power supplies and/or motherboards that you could use to upgrade it.
My computer has the most powerful power supply dell offered for it, and it won't support better than a geforce 8800, so when I need to upgrade, I'm going to have to buy a whole new computer.
I know I'll be either finding someone who builds custom computers or building it myself when I do.
