How old is your computer?I normally fix my PC myself. Everything from replacing a case fan, to gutting the whole thing and adding all new hardware.![]()
Hmm....well the newest items are 3 case fans and a new power supply. Everything else is kinda old (in computer time), but it still hauls ass and I can play almost any game.How old is your computer?
Nice, hope your science experiment continues to run smoothlyHmm....well the newest items are 3 case fans and a new power supply. Everything else is kinda old (in computer time), but it still hauls ass and I can play almost any game.![]()
hehe I always have fun on my PC. I met my g/f on-line as well.Nice, hope your science experiment continues to run smoothly![]()
I don't know exactly....old age? My computer kept crapping out, tried what I knew (not very much, really) to try to get it to working right; no dice. Finally just went to Costco & got a new one...this was about three years ago, so details are hard to recall. Got that computer going & it was doing the same thing...just randomly dying, had to push the start button repeatedly, it would be okay for a little while then just conk out.Most people do nowadays.
Good advice! What was wrong with your monitor?

Paranoia was REALLY setting in by then.
Then took the old one (maybe only about 7-years-old) to a local computer shop - - - the guy said there was absolutely nothing wrong with the computer.
So, we hooked my old computer up to my husband's monitor & it worked fine; hooked up the new computer to husband's monitor...worked fine.
And so, back to Costco.and here I am, "back on the road again".
SO....as far as I could see, that monitor was working beautifully; I do not know why it was killing computers.![]()
Nop.......Did you return the new computer?
#HoardersNop.........I like it!
We just have the old one set up on a spare desk for a panic 'reserve'.![]()
He's definitely not; I do seem to have a Y2K collector syndrome = "but we might need that sometime". He thwarts that as much as possible.#Hoarders![]()
You wont"but we might need that sometime"
That is very, very odd. A monitor is merely an output device. It doesn't send much info back to the computer. That's like your mouse battery died and now your computer randomly crashes. This is illogical! lolI don't know exactly....old age? My computer kept crapping out, tried what I knew (not very much, really) to try to get it to working right; no dice.

Yes! It sure made no sense to me....some corrupted connection?That is very, very odd. A monitor is merely an output device. It doesn't send much info back to the computer. That's like your mouse battery died and now your computer randomly crashes. This is illogical! lol
Actually, come to think of it, I recently had a weird issue with my PC. Whenever I tried to use either of my USB 3.0 ports, the wireless mouse cursor would get choppy. Unplug the device, the mouse works normally. What the freak? heheYes! It sure made no sense to me....some corrupted connection?
Leave it to me to have some unique problem.![]()
