Comment:
recently had computer shipped. when i set up the computer it worked ok but a little sluggish. I installed an online update of Norton 360 and after that computer would start but freeze or be super slow. I uninstalled the N360 and installed the Mcafee 2007. Computer worked ok for two days. Last night when I turned the computer on it was super slow again. I unplugged the computer and when I tried turn it on I could hear the CPU fan run, but the monitor screen stays dark with the message no rgb input and the cpu or something just beeps constantly. I looked at the cpu and the top is all melted and gooey.
