I could WEEP!

BlogpostAuthor: CyclonesuePublished: Jun 07, 2007Views: 884

I know, I KNOW!!! I go on all the time about PC woes, but this is THE woe of woes...

I bought a new PC in the end. Bye-bye flunked motherboard, bye-bye everything, in fact. New uber-rig ordered and installed...

And just THREE DAYS LATER, it is clinically dead. Oh yes, very dead. It won't even reach that happy POST state of beeps and meaningless BIOS scribblings.

That is woeful enough, but the REAL woe is that this is likely MY fault! WHY can't I just (for once) leave the cover ON and stop tinkering with innards? But it's like this compulsion thing. I just have to poke around, move things - for aesthetic reasons, naturally. I just hope I haven't aesthetically sparked the motherboard chipset this time and that this is simply due to a graphics card failing to sit properly, or a wobbly RAM stick! But I have been told to leave it alone now. Someone who actually knows what they are doing will be performing emergency surgery tomorrow - no doubt at some horrendous cost-per-hour...

Meantime, I'm wailing via my partner's PC. This PC is working because I have not yet tinkered with it. Funny therefore how this one is STILL working four years after it was bought, whereas I am now on my fourth (and final?) PC...

Yeah, I know: I'm so a-month-behind with reading your blog. But...

"Meantime, I'm wailing via my partner's PC. This PC is working because I have not yet tinkered with it."

Yet? YET????

My dear, you shall NEVER tinker with my PC. I have forty thousand fits if you even want to hit a key on my keyboard......

Sue, dear Sue, you know I empathize with you but I have been laughing my substantial derriere off at your recent posts here. You are one of the funniest people I have ever encountered. Not to mention one of the most talented and imaginative Sims artists in existence. Luv you, kid!

P.S. Sorry about your stinky Whippet. $\:D$

Oh dear - I hope your computer woes straighten out soon. Or I'm going to go into withdrawal for more weird grungy funky-looking strange objects. I have to admit I always get horribly paranoid whenever I have to do something inside the case of mine; I'm competent enough to follow teh illustrations in the manual and swap out graphics cards or ram stick or install drives, but I worry like the dickens until the darn thing boots up properly again afterwards.
