My Computer Crashed!

Sign in to disble this ad
It died on this past Wednesday. If felt like the loneliest man in the world without it. I knew I loved my computer, but I didn't realize just how much I was used to logging on for all sorts of things. At least I don't have any distractions at home from work and cleaning.

I'm certainly glad it's not the other way around

A few years ago I tossed my shop computer down the drive way. Then smashed it about 5 times on the road. Then I sent my son down to retrieve the hard drive. That old drive is still working as my external drive years later Nothing feels better than smashing an EFFED up computer

It's amazing how lost I've felt during those times that my computer is down. I like to take a vacation from using it at times, but when using it is not an option due to something like you're experiencing it feels awful.

Hope you can get a new one soon.

I'm trying to get an IT guy at work to fix my computer in his spare time. I sure don't want to fool with that Geek Squad at Best Buy!

I've found that putting them together myself is pretty easy. My daughters boyfriend can do the initial fire up and OS installation. I doubt I would ever buy a complete computer again. My dual monitor video board has been in 3 computers so far and it still works great. I'm FAR from computer savy but I did manage to build my current liquid cooled 'puter.
