My trading machine is down. First of all I own a HP-6355, 333 Celeron. The original problem was that the computer would reboot itself once/twice a day without warning. HP did send a tech out to the house to replace the power supply and motherboard. Now the computer doesn't boot at all! They are ordering a new CPU that will take 5 days before any repairs can be done. If I buy a new computer it would take me 3 days to setup for trading. I have no problems working on a computer. Question; Can I fix this myself? 1. When the computer boots it has power and a light flashes on the CD & floppy drives then will do nothing else. 2. The tech said most of the time you can't change the CPU from one motherboard to another. Is this true? 3. If I can find a 333 Celeron (1 slot, 66 bus) at my local store do you think the CPU is the problem? If I can't find a 333 could I use a 400 Celeron? Any thoughts about this problem would be helpful. Thanks in advance, Doug
