Can someone have something inside them that makes computers quit working

Seriously. Can a person have a certain magnetic field going on or something. Whenever my daughter gets near a computer it will run slow, jam up, have error messages, etc. And it isn't like she is using a program that she shouldn't or doing anything else wrong. We have 3 computers in our house and it doesn't matter which one she uses because they all will do that. Why does this happen??? Thanks.

Can you site down and have her move away and the PC work fine? Or you log in first and then she sit down and it go nuts then? Only thing I know that might be similar is batteries will make a computer go goofy. Maybe just a little at a time but it will happen. I know this cause at work, the other processor had her clock/radio sitting on top of her horizontal CPU - where the hard drive is. It took about 2 months, but one day she came in and her computer had crashed and her's the only one. Computer guy was called out and fixed it but said that was the problem. So dont have any kind of battery operated device near your CPU. I would guess this means any iPods, cell phones, PDA - those kinds of things or music playing things - did she have any of these near the CPU she was at? Might check into it.

Hmmmm... This is a thought. She does carry her cell phone around alot. I will have to check into this. I will have to investigate if I have anything by my computer with batterie also. Thanks for the help.

do you have carpets where the computer are located and if you kid does have static on her then just tell her to touch a metal piece that grounded that should solve the problem.

No there are no carpets in her room or sons room. My bedroom does have carpet though. That is something to keep in mind. Thanks for reminding me of it.
