My PC is Dying on Me, Posting Delayed/Stopped

My pc has decied to stop working for me. It is a hard ware problem with it no getting no bad it freezes before completing the start page. The automated attempts at reparing it probably made the problem worse in time. The Hdd is 5 years old and has had enough. With all the files it has had to keep track of due to dropbox "War for the Overworld" files it really is no suprice it packed up on me. Not happy with this as was hoping to get soemthing from hangin with them for the last year, all I get is a stupid NDA and being cut off. I am a fucking unhappy camper. Lack of comms is one thing that really bugs the shit out of me. On a side note as I no longer am doing what makis me happy on the pc I am doing my room up so it more livable and less storage room. A dedicated pc desk is planned and a new PC is more than likly something to look for at least in the future.

My Computer Needs To Go To Germany

Why? Because its got a damaged motherboard. What damaged it no Idea, but since the USB ports are the problem I suspect it was my sister trying to run too many things through a single port. What is wrong is that the Keyboard indicator lights all flash on and off like Christmas tree lights and doesn't work. Its on the PS2 ports, my USB mouse is non working as well.
I got my multimeter and checked the ports and the PSU. The PSU gives out the required 5V while the ports give only 3.77V. You are at the minimum supposed to be getting 4.25V so nothing works. I even took the CMOS battery out as suggested to me and that only messed with the clock.
I got help online in the form of a phone number for the lot that make the PCs and managed to get through eventually to be redirected to some other one who put me on hold to talk to his superiors. I also got that noise like you are disconnected but waited on until I got told they will phone back in two days.
They phone and now the PC is going to be on its way.Of course I have no Idea when this week their courier is going to show up and me with places to go. So we will see what happens and do they nuke my Data when fixing the problem.
