Stupid Computer #2

Posted by Kairos on Dec. 22, 2007, 10:02 p.m.

I was checking out CNN one day, when the computer made a clicking sound and shut off. Then it didn't work afterward. I sent it in for repair, it was 8 months old and still in warranty.

Now can someone tell me, how the fuck does my computer commit complete suicide when nothing was wrong at all? This was a major pain in the ass, and no, I'm not computer illiterate. I was up to date on security and whatnot. They had to replace the BIOS ROM, hard drive, CPU, and the memory sticks - something must've really gone wrong or an undetected super virus crapped everything. In any case, I didn't think it was this bad, but come on, this is just insane. I got the computer back after a while and missed some precious time, along with a clean hard drive and most of my stuff gone, but that's alright, I barely even use that one because I have everything on my older computer using XP.

What the fuck.

Reminds me of the time I got the Blue Screen Of Death - on the same day I bought the computer.

Obviously, you can't read: they had to replace your mobo, hard drive, processor, AND RAM.

Did you not notice I said memory sticks?

Though I wasn't sure what they did with the BIOS problem, probably replaced the mb.

Could be your power supply. The same kind of thing happened to my old PC. Sometimes, when it goes out, it fries everything. Video card, RAM, HD, Motherboard, and all. Some parts of my old PC got spared, but apparently, you weren't so lucky. :(

Yea, it could be the power supply, but normally everything is protected against induction, but some old pc's perhaps not…

Maybe your BIOS fried and made everything go in suicide mode. Maybe it accidentily overclocked…
