Xmas wasn't going to happen if I had my way... so we just took it [wife's computer] to Fry's to be diagnosed with 100% certainty and I'll replace the motherboard if that is indeed the problem with a $49 dollar equivalent. Sigh... oh well. That could have been a decent rig. I actually convinced my wife to take out a loan and get this puppy: link. I know, I'm bad. Instead however, we are fixing her old rig, and getting two [new] computers for my boys for xMas and no loan. So now everybody wins (except me, cause I won't be able to play D3 the way it's meant to be played :cry: ). Tis life.
