First port of call with comp problems is to arm yourself with a small paintbrush and screwdriver, take off the covers (after unplugging the power etc) and gently removing the dust that has accummulated - esp around the cpu and any empty memory card slots. If your comp problem is tied in with high humidity levels, dust is usually the cause, tho a failing bios battery will also cause similar, and is replaceable at less than $10 usually.
You must take antistatic precautions whenever working on the motherboard tho, but these are fairly simple
Sorry - dont unplug the power; switch it off at the power point - you need the earth connection to ensure the antistatic precautions!!!.
Girl, go out an buy a lap top, layby one or get a secondhand on...I cant go with out my daily musings....
