i tried posting this in computers, but seems yahoo thinks it belongs here , sorry people
If it was already an old machine, too slow for today's programs, I'd trash it. What you describe is most likely a hardware problem and would require the whole thing taken apart and possibly having parts replaced. If you have to pay someone to do this, it would probably cost more than the machine would be worth once it's fixed.
