Can:

Could be, or perhaps the computer is overheating, or perhaps there is a virus, or the hard drive may be going bad.

Did you use the Windows XP CD to reinstall the operating system? What else did you try to do to fix the problems? Did anything change just prior to the problem (did you add new software or hardware)? What do you think changed after the two weeks to make it fail to boot again? Did you get any messages from Windows, such as a disk is running out of space or some other message? Does the computer beep at all when you start it? Does it show any sign of life at all or is it completely dead?

A slow dial-up connection would not cause the problem. Since there are no sounds nor lights nor other signs of life, there are three possibilities:

* The computer is not receiving power from the ELECTRICAL outlet (plug a lamp in the outlet to make sure it is OK).

* The power supply has died (replace it with one that has a higher wattage rating, such as 400 watts).

* The motherboard is fried (replace it with a new one).
