Hi friends,

Since 8-4, my computer has been in the process of being repaired by the warranty company. After replacing 3 motherboards, the power supply and the processor, they determined that a bad memory stick was causing all of the problems in the first place. I should add that each visit causes a 3 week wait for back ordered parts. The tech. is to return and replace the 1 gig memory stick.

The computer is running, but when the fan kicks into high speed, it sounds like the wife is running a mixer or vacuum cleaner on the other side of the house.
I definitely won't be doing any recording with this machine. Thanks for listening to my rant, what I need to know is:

Can this excess noise be from the missing 1 gig memory stick? It is a 6 gig machine. Also, the front USB is dead. Can this be activated from a menu?
