My computer is crashing...anyone else?

Does anyone else have a Dell or use MSN? My computer has been crashing all night and it's really getting on my nerves...I know Dubliner is having the same problem or was having the same problem...anyone else???

We use MSN and we keep losing connection to the internet. Its been happening for about a week now and it happens a couple of times a day. It is totally driving me NUTS!!!

omg 04bride just told me about a virus going around that she heard from her BIL...he works in computers!

She said it may even make the news..she says you get online but nothing loads(i think thats what she said) lol

Maybe this is whats happening?!?!

This is really very annoying...it keeps saying something about the NT(??)...

Then, it shuts itself off after counting down 60 seconds...

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

mine just did before
aol
I thought it was LIW
b/c it kept saying cannot display page....

1-800-www-dell

I don't know the cust. serv. number though, they should be able to tell you what number to call for repairs.

For those of you who want to know what I did for my laptop, it's diff. for a desktop I think, here it is:

make sure nothing's attached to computer (no printer, no phone, etc.)

Go to start
Go to Control Panel
Go to Administrative Tools
Go to Computer Management
Go to Services and Applications on Right side
Go to Services on Right side
Go to Remote Procedure (RPC only) in the list of operations, right click on it, hit properties and then set all of the things that say restart computer to 'take no action'. Apply, then click ok, then restart the computer.

It worked for me, but it's prob. still best that you call dell b/c you might have to do something else.

Good luck.

ok called dell...after about 45 mins hopefully my computer is fixed...there is some microsoft virus affecting a lot of dell customers or something like that...

if my computer crashes again, i think i'll just throw it out the window
