Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the Internet…
My desktop computer is malfunctioning again. This is really annoying me, since I was just starting to get things reorganized on it. But on Thursday it just suddenly decided to turn itself off for no reason. I tried rebooting it and it complained for a while. I finally reset to last known good settings and it worked for a little bit, then I turned it off so I could go to Anchorage with my dad and sister. Got home late in the evening and turned the desktop computer on and the screen was seriously wigging out. It shut itself down and I tried restarting it, went through that a couple of times and told it to report the trouble to HP when it asked if I wanted to. It came up with some kind of driver error report that HP knows about and is working on a fix for.
WTF? Another built in HP flaw? I’m really starting to think HP’s are not put together right. Gateway is looking better and better at the moment. So, anyway, I was sitting here earlier tonight talking to a friend of mine and getting work done and the computer shut down *again* No warning just POOF. I tried a few times to turn it on, but only ever got as far as the Blue Screen of Death. I gave up, finished talking to friend using lappy and worked on a holiday quilt for a while.
Tried the desktop again a few minutes ago to see if it was going to let me work and it won’t even make the monitor power up with a signal. I don’t know what’s going on, but I think I’ll be asking Santa if he has anything left over for a new desktop computer from the rent-a-center. Although I might aim for a $200 Wal Mart special instead. Less headaches I’m betting. Anyway, I’m getting some work done on the Lappy, then getting some sleep.
Still ain’t had a chance to catch up on the writing course I am enrolled in. ::::sigh::::
