  1. clean it out and re-start it a couple of times.

    if that dosent work, if you have a Dell like mine, you can just take the computer (not the moniter) and dissconnect it from everything. EVERYTHING. then press the power key down for 60 seconds. BE WARNED, it WILL whipe out your ENTIRE MEMORY. everything!


  2. First of all, it is very hard understanding what you just wrote.  But I think I have the picture.  You have your computer stuck between some walls in a tight space, with little ventillation and a lot of dust.

    Most likely, your processor fan and cooling fans are full of dust and have either gone bad or are working so poorly, that it is burning your computer up.  With poor ventillation you get a lot of heat and with a lot of dust even more heat and this stresses all the components in the computer.

    I suggest you open up the case, disconnect ALL power from the computer and use a vaccum cleaner and suck out ALL the dust and dirt first.  

    Then, with the case open, reconnect your power, KEEPING YOUR HANDS OFF THE HARDWARE AND OUT OF THE COMPUTER CASE!!!!!!!!!!!  Turn the power switch back on, and then see if your case fans and the microprocessor fan are still working.

    If they are working, try to boot back into your operating system.  If any fans, including case or CPU fan is NOT working, shut down, and replace the case fan(s).  If the CPU fan is not working, DO NOT turn the computer back on until you have replaced the CPU heatsink/Fan assembly.  If you do not know how to do this, take it to a shop and have them do it for you.  Otherwise, you will burn your CPU up.

    CLEAN THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT EXTERNALLY WITH THE VACCUM CLEANER AND GET THE DUST OUT OF IT.  If there is a power supply fan (either facing toards the back of the case or down into the case and it is NOT working...you will have to replace the power supply.  DO NOT attempt to open up the power supply and replace the fan in there...this is very dangerous and you could receive a severe shock if you touch any capacitors or other components inside the box.  Instead, replace the PSU with a new one.

    If, after cleaning all the dust and dirt in the computer OUT, inspecting all the parts for normal functioning, everything still looks good, then you probably have a bad hard disk...this means you have to get a new hard disk and a copy of the operating system.  

    One way or the other, I think your problem is hardware related, dirt and heat stress related and you had better know better the next time before you shove your computer into a tight, unventillated space.

  3. first clean the thing out and let it breath, if the problems continue then you have (what seems to me) a hardware problem, heat is the biggest enemy.
