Since you can't isolate if it's a software or hardware issue. I would recommend starting fresh. Wouldn't want to copy the issue to the new computer. Just take a screenshot of the desktop and rearrange it if it's that big of an issue.
I'm beginning to strongly suspect that it has something to do with Quickbooks and its #$#@& print engine. I think that's what's jacking up the print spooler too. There is some combination of QB, Adobe Acrobat Pro and MS One Note that just makes for a bad cocktail. But it's mostly QB's fault, if Googling results are any indication. If my hunch is correct, swapping out puters isn't going to help.
Prime 95 indicates that the puter is sound. I hate Intuit: their upsale policies, their half-baked code, etc.
I'm ready to unwind in a cool glass of PBR. Yee-Haw!
