IT stuff that sucks

Posted by nix On April - 1 - 2008

Due to the hot weather, mom has decided to spend our days and afternoons at church; in the area near the river. And with the spacious area, the pugs can run when they feel like it. It’s cool because we get to spend time with the Evia Family and my uncle’s family. We chat, play, and watch DVD’s.

With that “busy” schedule, i managed to reformat my PC and i even brought it with me one Saturday afternoon in church where i installed Tomb Raider: Anniversary and played while the younger kids where watching and looking out for possible things i missed. It was frustrating at first because my monitor wouldn’t cooperate. It would blink and then i would restart the system and check if everything was plugged in well. I didn’t know what was going on. Someone suggested that it might have been caused by someone who shook the table. I really thought it was the monitor or the video card but after a few minutes of trying things out it was finally working.

I brought the PC back home that night because there was something that needed to be done and it was Sunday the next day which means there would be a lot of people and kids would be there. You know how kids are annoying sometimes. They’re curious little people. :big_smile:

Anyway, i set up the PC Monday morning only to find it blinking again, i was desperate. To make the long story short, i consulted with JJ and he suggested that it must be the memory card. And my brain was all “WTF?! how could that be? my memory card is 8 months new!” So then i sent a text message to the technician where we bought the card and he told me to bring the memory card along with the receipt and he’ll check it out. For one thing, i HAVE to find that receipt. It’s here somewhere, i just don’t know where.

Right now i am using the CPU of one of the PC sets we have in the shop. We’re closed at the moment (we’ll be relocating the shop). I took the 256mb RAM from the other computer for this unit to have 512mb RAM. But this unit’s speed is only 1.5Ghz while my CPU has 2.4Ghz. This unit has only 32mb VGA while mine has 64mb, which i need to upgrade for more games! Also, i can’t install and transfer stuff from my back-up because this unit won’t accept my DVD writer. :oh:

    It sucks when your computer doesn’t work, especially when you have nothing to do and the monitor is staring at you. hahaha
