No Bueno
I was cruising the net looking at new frames for a new pair of prescription eyewear when up comes the blue screen of death and alas my computer is no more! Granted there are 3 other computers in the house but all of my shit was on that one... all my pics, music, resumes, passwords, movies.
Totally bummed right now and I probably won't be on as often now that I am without. Finding an un-used computer in this house is difficult. I'll be checking facebook and myspace and gmail from my phone for awhile until I can either figure out the issue with mine or get a new system.
Peace love and pixie dust kids.

That sucks dude, sorry to hear it. Even if the computer is toast your chances of getting the data back is pretty good.

Ok Just kidding!
Apparently.
So my dad went and did some troubleshooting searching and we read that if we reseated the memory modules that it would work. So we did and it did and now everything is fine! I have no idea why or how that fixed it but I don't care. I have my computer and more importanly my tpunks back!

ok so apparently the computer was just toying with me. If pretends to die every 5 minutes or so and then I have to reseat the memory again to get it to start up. So I am slowly moving my stuff off of that hard drive and I guess it's time to start saving up for a macbook!

Last week my hard drive died on me and I got a new one for free. But what sucks is I had to pay $99 to transfer the memory.
