My computer just died in a blaze of glory -- at least the video card caught on fire.  The new parts I got just beeped at me, so I have to take them back and figure out what I'm going to do.

So far as I know, all of the files on my hard drive are still intact, but I have no idea how long it will take to sort this out.  I can't afford a new computer, so I'll have to keep buying and returning little pieces until it works.

Man, that sucks..

Does it just beep and nothing else?

If so try to replace the memory from a friend and see if your system boots up.

If that don't work you might need a new motherboard.

What was in your system before the fire?

damn
now things catching on fire??
that i have never heard of before!!!

either its too hot in california

or Kossuth, god of fire is pissed that he doesnt exist in Armok yet...

I have it mostly working now.  First it was the video card that was messed up (prior to the fire), then the memory wasn't compatible with my new motherboard, as the Captain suggested.

Everything is fixed now.  I have a new video card sitting at home -- once I get that in tonight I should be up and running again.

Well, I'm writing this from my computer at home -- the one that was set ablaze.  Things seem to be vaguely working.

Weird point:  the hard drive only works if I hook at up as a slave to my cd drive!  What's up with that?

I'm going to get a new hard drive tomorrow to see if it is the motherboard's fault, or if my drive is messed up.

[Alanor]

have you tried playing with the various settings on the hard drive?
(the little jumpers on the bottom..
if its set for slave (wierd?)
then it will only work as such..

otherwise the drive might be bonkers..
it happens sometimes
and thats a sign of the drive going bye-bye
if thats the case..
then you should be able to send it back to them and get a new one..
they are very good about replacing messed up drives..
but make sure you get all the stuff off of it first!

The computer now functions.  That will be my birthday present to Zonk...  I would have given him something better, but the computer caught on fire

Kurtulmak just had a birthday on Aug 5.  Because Kurtulmak has existed since the beginning of time scientists estimate he is aproximately 15 billion years old.
