mine is acting up. It freezes quite bad now.
How often do you have to fix your computer?

I was serious about the insides getting clogged. If you've never done it, you might get a nasty surprise to open the case and see how much dust it has accumulated. Cleaning out the CPU fan can make a difference to hang-ups. Removing the fan from the CPU might require that you have some thermal gunge for when you replace it.
If you're simply suffering malware or a shoddy OS then reformat and re-install or try to remove unwanted elements. This might be of help for the latter if you're running Windows:

I've found their laptops laptops to be overpriced.
I built my own computer - and when I was building I did see comparable units for close in price from dell but the hardware wasnt nearly the quality or upgradeable.

As a corporate buyer, it's usually cheaper to purchase a new system then upgrade. I wore several hats, I was primarily a project manager and developer, so I wasn't going to waste my time and the company's money building a system for the secretary. If you have a big budget, want a home system, and are a gamer then go with alienware.UA_Iron said:

well, everything alienware does you could do yourself (minus the crazy cases, but you can buy those and use them for your system). But I think we're coming from two different angles.

this thread's about fixing your computer, which I still have to do occasionaly. And perhaps someone capable of fixing/building their own computer could add their own experiences to help out others?

If they're asking on the EF C+C forum I'm assuming they're not an expert? If you have the "average" level of knowledge then Dell is a great buy. The biggest problem is on the user side, downloading every e-mail attachment sent, which has nothing to do with the hardware/software.UA_Iron said:

We still don't know whether his problem is hardware or malware.
With most hardware purchases there are two main considerations: likelyhood of failure and likelyhood of adequate care and repair after failure. Dell, for private customers, has a poor reputation on the latter. Performance and price are extra factors.
For someone who is prepared to do some background reading, building a machine is not a large task. I.e. it doesn't take much to become an expert. You'll typically end up with a much better-performing piece of kit at a given price-point which you can repair without having to send away or put aside while an "engineer" arrives to fix it. There's even a certain fun-factor to fiddling around the first few times.

You know, I havnt had my laptop on-line for 2 years, and neither have I loaded anything onto, or from it and it still messes up sometimes. They *definitely* build them with faults.
