I have a Compaq Presario 5000 Desktop which we got in [View all]

2000. A.D. 😄

It cost around $2200 at the time, mb more.

I love it. But back in 2001-2, we were recipients of the dreaded blue screen/crash imminent. It's like brand new, extremely little use.

Never had it looked at for a multitude of reasons. Got laptops, then phones, you get lazy.

I have a hard head. I want to do what it takes to get it shipshape working.

What am I looking at here. I am bucking a naysayer who was around me. I want it to work. I don't care. I love it so.

Here's someone that got his dad's renewed and cranked. Wonders never cease!

I got a young friend that is willing to/interested in helping me, but I figured I could get a head start perspective.

Thanx all.
