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.

Basically, they built you a new computer.

Ouch, that sucks. Something similar happened to one of ym computers once; it commited complete suicide and I really don't know why. I think it was something related to the PSU, because when the computer failed, it suddenly shutdown and a burn smeel case out of the pc o_o. At least I got a better computer after that.

Thankfully it was still under warranty, I feel slightly relieved about not having to spend a single cent.

And if you had had PSP on it, it would have been fixed faster, even past the 3-month deadline on the mobo.
