However, with a bit of antics and hijinks involving duct tape, vaccuum cleaners and surgery on the motherboard, I've got me a working 14 Mhz 8088 based PC again!

I'm way out of practice in sopwith though. Scored -100 points

You should write a book on this. I am sure it would make a fine read.

hehe... So I get the new box...

Well I go place the old equipment in the new box

and what happens... I cannot find the manual anywhere.

Bring work lap top home to look at manual pdf file...

And I am not joking here. The lap top dies... ( I get a new lap top tomorrow )

So anyways i get another computer from work... Install win 2k ... get a few viruses... Get that cleaned up.. Attempt to install adobe... Need service pack 4... get that and then download manual.

Read manual

Place old equipment in new box.

Power it up...

Works right away... Not one reset on anything... So I am scared..

But natually of course the freezing and crashing continues..

Go to reinstall OS

Its at work

So tomorrow i hope to have a new os installed...

So you may not hear from me for a few days....

If that does not work...... and the crashes continue

I am going to go back to my first hunch which was the video card is going
