Author Topic: Computers hate me :(  (Read 1619 times)

Well, my computer is getting repairs right now (I'm on a school loaner [laptop required school]) and the computer sucks.. perhaps I'm starting too far...
My computer had a damaged monitor, the casing of it was cracked, the processor was burnt a bit, the battery lasted under 15 minutes, the keyboard was missing a few keys, and the hard drive was having errors, so I'm getting repairs. Because of this I needed a new computer, thankfully the school I go to provided one. This loaner was performing better than my original computer and was doing perfectly, until yesterday morning. Upon starting up my computer monday morning I kept getting the BSOD and I could not start up, so I have a new loaner again.. I lost all my homework on it, so yay I'm going to fail a subject, and this computer is worse than mine. So far it's locking up, took 40 minutes to start up, and is constantly freezing.
wut2do?

Edit: I'm on my third loaner, because the second one kept locking up.

Learn to back up stuff

Learn to back up stuff
I did back up everything onto my External Hard drive, coincidentally it broke right after my computer. It gives me an I/O error and freezes :(

Which means some files you have contained viruses, possibly of the boot sector variety. Those are usually found in things one would download from adult sites or P2P servers.

Jesus you dont just back up to just one source.
