You might have a hijacker. That happened to me when I got my laptop. I am now using "Spyware Doctor". It was rated best by PC Magazine. The great thing about it is that it will either eliminate the problems, or quarantine them until it can fix the problem -- so there is no down time with the computer. And you don't have to worry about making a mistake when you are using it.   \n\nYou can do a Google search, or check it out through PC Magazine. I downloaded mine and had it up and running in less than an hour.

Could be a variety of things... check to see if the cpu is overheating... it may turn itself off to prevent damage.  I would take it back though, it's new, they should look at it for free.

Your machine is lacking in memory.\n\nYou are running too many memory resident programs and/or you have more windows open (could be browser windows or other applications). \n\nReduce the active load on your machine.\n\nIf that does not help, then restart, may be a program is stuck in a loop somewhere.\n\nIf even that does not help, run an anti-virus, may be you have avirus.\n\nIf that also does not help, try reinstalling the operating system.\n\nIn case nothing of the above works, get a new machine with better specs.

Get a new account, is my best suggestion. Next time make sure you close your session before leaving the computer.

I don't know how old you are, but maybe you are old enough for babysitting or a paper route.  My first job was a paper route at 15 years old.  I would try one of these kind of jobs, which might show your parents how much you want one (just don't let your schoolwork suffer).  Secondly, you had better lower your sights for your first computer, $1500 is a lot of money as you already know.  Someone already suggested a low cost Dell for around $500, that is a good idea, and there are a few other brands that have a low cost entry-level computer.  If you try to earn some of the money yourself and search for a reasonably priced system for your age and experience, they might help you out with the difference.  If you get that one and learn more about what you like and want to use your computer for, at sixteen you can get a better job and save up for a more powerful computer.  You might try upgrading your first computer along the way, but I've heard that some basic systems are difficult to add on to.  Lastly, remember that it might take longer than you want to get it, but prices are coming down all the time.  Good luck!

Its most likely a problem with the websites you are surfings data base. I doubt it has anything to do with your computer.

Fix anything and everything. You are the lifeline for people when their computer goes down and they look to you to get it working again. Above all, you need to be understanding. Don't blame the user. Sometimes, they really didn't do anything wrong. You also need to be patient. Don't get frustrated easily. You need to be a good listener, especially when they describe the problem.

It's not necessarily true...I'm an old dog (actually, I prefer to be called an "old fart"), and have learned to use a computer!

Is it a old computer?  How much RAM are you running?  Could be that you have spyware and malicious programs running in the background that you are not aware of.

JENKINS!!!! You know full well that it is against company policy to use computers for personal matters. I have noted that you logged onto answers.yahoo.com and have spent far too much time doing it.\n\nI want you and your personal belonings out the door within the hour, do I make myself CLEAR?!

I imagine most people will say "Dell's support sucks, or HP has idiots working in the service and support" That would be because of 2 reasons\n1) most consumers like to purchase brand-name computers. \n2) most people get fired up when their computer has problems, and they can not access their stuff.\nSupport desk persons have to start with such basic troubleshooting questions{"is it plugged in", etc.}.\nMy suggestion (or recommendation) would be to find a friend, relative, or techie geek to help you.\nLIKE ME !!! LOL\nOr, you can get screwed over by a Pc Technician, and you will do like I did 11 years ago - I started my A+ certification training. \n\nGood luck

Back in the old days, we did this using chalk rocks writing on the cave walls.  Then gradually as time passed we started using ink and feathers, then pencils, and then typewriters, and then finally someone invented the computer.. THANK YOU!!\n\nOk, so I'm not that old, I'm 46.\n\nI have clients ranging from under 10 to over 90, and it's very common for us to sell a "first" computer to someone in their 60's and 70's.\n\nSo, as long as you're breathing.. you're young enough..

I dont think you can do too many of any of those things.  If it is a new computer i would take it back and exchange it for a new one if possible or get it serviced.  \nE
