On the pc thing, try vacuuming it out if it's a stationary. Dirt clogs the fans inside and can cause either the central processor or the video chip to overheat and then *blink* shut off.
On the chose thing it may be a good idea to eat more pork! Maybe that will help winnow out a few. Seriously, the important thing is taking it slow and I've known quite a few Filipino mixed relationships and unfortunately my experience is that unless you know the entire family history and her deep background I wouldn't go there.
I say this with the deepest respect for anyone coming from the Filipines, but there was always more going on under the surface than they let on and I know quite a few who were crushed to learn the "love of their life" could be so...duplicitous... They play a deep game there after centuries of repression so they are masterful at keeping their cards hidden as a people. I saw a lot of heartless (from my point of view) behaviour and it made me very wary of that specific group of females. There, I just spent my last 2 cents.
