Computer down = boring times.

Post by KhyronTheBackstabber »

Back on the fifth, I was happily putzing around the net, when all of the sudden, boom, blue screen. I didn't think much of it; I've gotten the blue screen before, so I restarted my computer. So windows is going though its start up, and boom, blue screen. Now I'm not the most computer literate person, but I try. And try I did. Nothing I did worked, and let me tell you all some thing. Running a thorough scandisk in safe mode sucks all sorts of ass. Well I finally broke down and called Dell tech support today, and with in a half hour, woo hoo, I'm back. And I did miss this place. I could always come here to kill time when things got boring, but these last eleven days :banghead: and, add to that, the fact that I couldn't even get on my computer to work on some of my art shit. I thought my head was going to implode. But now my computer is working again, God is in his heaven, and all is right with the world. The only problem is I still don't know what caused the problem in the first place.

The Blue Screen of Death? Ouch. Well, glad to have you back. As long as you don't live up to your name with my back. :wink:

If it was me I would have just reinstalled the whole thing. Not that reinstalling Windows is a rare event or anything ;)

My mouse is acting up as I type this. Dammit.

I think that computers are harder to live with than women...but almost as necessary
