....something burped on the rig here....so I shut it down....opened it up for a thorough cleaning 1st....vac's all the fans, boards etc..checked connections and closed it up..

I know, I know...it's more likely a system glitch....but I've found starting with the guts has it's advantages too.....HD and power supply issues show up in many ways and I wanted to make sure that I didn't have problems by checking for restrictions or noises.....I did a HD diagnostic...all ok....all the fans run smoother/quietly too...

next up I ran a couple virus/system proggie...and did a defrag..

checks......all seems good there too.... |^|

It might have been a simple power blink here at home but figured I'd better just check this puppy out anyway.......hell, I even scrubbed the screen/desk.keyboard too,,, :)

..shiny cars always run better, right?,,,,,well she's purring along quite nicely now  |^|

ps.... :)...I even wiped my chair down good... :)
