MAJOR PC EMERGENCY

I am presently on my wife's computer, as mine just spontaneously shut down. Turned itself off! Just quit!

Reset the power pack, pushed the on/off button, got a brief light and then nothing.

Tried a bunch of different approaches...nothing.

Will return to blogging as soon as I can figure out what's going on.

Can't use wife's computer much 'cause she's on it so much.

Will have to write when she's off galavanting around.

I'll be back ASAP...count on it.

maybe you caught a virus from a liberal commenter.

It's fried. Get a new one. They are pretty cheap at Walmart.

Darn computers can be so fickle. Hope it's nothing serious or will cost a lot.

Have you checked the fan to see if it is still in operation? Sometimes if your computer gets hot it shuts down. Just a thought.

I know what the problem is, Joe. It's known as T-O, or "Truth Overload."

ablur: I had my techie friend over today. The starter circuit in the mother board is fried. Since you can't recircuit part of a mother board....

lisa: Undoubtedly.

Mark: The fried starter circuit caused my CPU to overheat and that froze my hard drive.

It does not look good.

Leticia: The fans are all happily blowing away...cooling that which no longer needs to be cooled.

PS to all: I'm once again using my sife's computer. I hope she'll work out some kind of schedule with me so I can still post to my blog.

DW: If that's the case, I broke my own computer! Rats!

Mark said...

Told ya it was fried. Get a new one.

Mark: Current finances won't allow for that. I'll just have to squeeze in time on my wife's computer (like I'm doing now).
