Freakin computers

[Loadclr]

I've been offline the last couple of days because my computer caught a bug Friday night and died. I'm using the wife's computer now after 3-4 days of trying to recover mine (without sucess). It won't even boot up now. Looks like I'm going to be in the market for a new one.

Bummer Hope it gets resolved quickly for ya.

What about a computer repair place? They could probably check it out for you.. for a fee of course. Might be cheaper than a new one.

Either way, good luck!

Shit that sucks man.........my computer is acting up too, but it's pretty old.

thats what happens when you leave JIB locked in the basement. no good virus protection and he infects all of you with a bug.

Hate to hear that you are having trouble man. My old PC finally pissed me off here awhile back and I bought a new Gateway with all the goodies that I wanted. It was $775 for the tower, mouse, keyboard, speakers....... I already had a new 19" LCD monitor.

Hope you find a good one! I like the hell out of mine. Not cheap,,, but a dam good one still!

I know the feeling, my PC took a power surge hit and the power supply took a hit, that was an easy fix for me 40.00 dollars for a new power supply and I put in myself.

My laptop is infected with the plaque , so Im forced to use a computer the size of a table with the brain of a calculator. Thats why i havent been on near as much. It keeps freezing up.

Gateways' are good computers. I bought a Dell, pretty good performance but found out that some of the upgrades are proprietary. i.e. only costly Dell RAM's can be used to upgrade memory for gaming (I am a Call of Duty 4 fanatic), etc.
With a Gateway you can upgrade with less expensive components and get the same performance.

i don't know about all that. i just upgraded the memory on my desktop (which is a dell to 2 Gb and it cost me about $60. (best buy was having a sale on RAM). i think every part of a desktop is able to be swapped out pretty much. could be wrong, but i know that the RAM kicks ass.

Yeah I like to play a few games. The worst one that I have is Doom 3 and it will shut down a regular desktop. I mean it will kick you all the way back to the desktop. I also play Medal of Honor, Tiger Woods, Resident Evil, and other such games.


My Gateway came with 2 Gigs of Ram, the better video card and a dam good dual core processor. I love it and it works like a charm.



johnisbubba better get some kick ass virus protection....... It is worth every penny that I spend for the McAfee Internet Security Suite. $65 for 4 computers a year.......... I surf when I want and where I want.... IF you know what I mean!
