OT- Computer Diagnostics

Hi All,

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."
Whoever said that was probably talking about helping a
family member with their computer.

Last fall my adult daughter's computer was dieing. So
her brother, with the assistance of their cousin who
built systems, put a new box together for her. The
only carryover was the hard drive. That has since
failed and been replaced. They installed Winblows98
with all the latest patches and the latest drivers for
the hardware.

Since the new drive went in the system freezes
regularly. This happens randomly and often enough that
she uses her boy friend's system for school work.

After several attempts at fixing it my son has washed
his hands of the thing. My nephew is now a freshman at
Notre Dame. Why don't you do something says her mother
to me who has not assembled an IBM compatible computer
newer than a 386.

Anyway... Can someone suggest a reliable place to take
the @#$**! machine to get this mess diagnosed? My
duaghter lives near the Sprint Campus. I live not too
far from the Bannister Mall.

Thanks,

Bob Kennedy
