Welp, my computer died.

Went downstars today to turn it on, hit the power button, nothing.

"Fuck."

Hit it again. Still nothing.

"FUCK."

Being the computer-illiterate freak that I am, I do not know what caused this, what will fix it, or when the fuck I'm going to be coming back. I'm posting this from my mother's iMac over a 56k (oh lord, the torture, the pain... gurk... glah... downloading AIM SUCKS), and will most likely be gone for a while. I might get an hour or two on each day, I'm not sure, I'm completely at the mercy of my parents here.

So if you don't see me for a while, that's the reason. If you don't see me ever again, I killed myself in a fit of desperation.

Shhh. Everyone will hear us. Everyone will know.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

She's had a lot of other problems and a fried motherboard would produce the same effect as a dead powersupply.

I'd know, because mine burnt out last year.

My current Problem is that I can't trun the hard power switch off, if I do I have to move the computer so that the drives are facing the floor to get power back. I need a new supply

Yeah, when my power supply went out the warrenty I have replaced the power supply and the motherboard at the same time.

But it was only the power supply. Good thing they sent the extra motherboard though, cause if you hear something snap when putting that new ram stick in, it's bad.

It could also be your RAM.

Same thing happened to me, I remove one of the sticks, and it works like a charm again.

When I lived in the dorms I had a friend that lived down the hall. His computer stopped working. Every day he would hit the power switch on it at least once. He didn't have the money to fix it so he just kept trying

Three months later he hit the power switch one day and the damn thing worked, it's worked ever since :P
