PC WIZ www.pcwiz.com has a number of trouble shooting tools and utilities.
For the worst problems, they offer a POST card that can help identify PC bus related problems.
Software problems are a lot tougher. You can access and edit most of the system files from a DOS boot disk using the edit command.
The basic system files (autoexec, msdos, config, win, sys) are easy to view and edit.
The registry is tougher.
The best solution to software issues is frequent backups so that it is quickerto restore the drive to the last known good configuration than it is to try and figure out what went wrong, and how to fix it.
