[Hidden-tech] Computer Woes

[Mark & Mary Knox]

Stacey, I am not really a techie geek, but have been dealing with  
personal computers for awhile. The greenish color or different colors  
on the monitor could mean a bad connection or cable to the monitor if  
you have a laptop or someone who does, you can try it on their  
computer to rule out the monitor and cable.

I would need more info about the "crash". Though what I would do is  
strip down the computer to its basics and also ask yourself if you  
added any new software/hardware lately, many crashes happen when  
something new is added with an incompatibility.

If nothing works, places like Dancer computers in Amherst or Calvary  
Tech in Northampton might help.
