Crash-Downs permanent link to Crash-Downs

I have been through much stress :neutral: for two weeks following my vacation. Sheesh!

Would you believe it? The fan on my IBM R40 crashed down. My IBM has been running strong for over 3 years & I thought she would last forever, but :sad: I was wrong. I had to give her up for a a week while the laptop doc repaired the problem.

I really needed another unit to use at home, so I purchased a new CPU at MIR Computer Networkx – the dang thing :shock: crashed after a few hours use! So, I had to take it back for a full refund.

Then came the :roll: hunt for a more reputable CPU vendor, which took a few days.

Finally though, I landed an excellent deal at :lol: PC Gilmore.

Now, I am enjoying my new Intel Dual Core 2.2 Ghz CPU (MSI 7300 motherboard, Kingston 1GB DDR2 Memory, Samsung 80GB Hard Drive, ASUS Sata DVD-RW Optical Drive) for less than $250 :eek: .

My laptop’s still with the repairman to this day but now, I can wait :smile: . My new CPU has allowed me to allow him all the time he needs… I’m glad that’s over :wink: .

Wow wow wow i’ve never been to Gilmore. I heard that there are tons of cheap techie stuff there. Sorry about your CPU crashing but at least you were able to to replace it right away, heehee :)

Computers being down sure does suck, I know the feeling! Working at a place that gives tec support though, I know that your computer technician will be very happy to not have you looking over his shoulder for a fix!

That suddenly reminds me … the RAM on my hard drive (of my home computer) is only 512MB and I NEED to upgrade it because it’s crawling slower than a turtle now. Haha.

Treat yer new CPU with loads of tender loving, care! ;)

I hope your laptop gets fixed really soon. I think I need to upgrade the RAM in my laptop sometime soon.

I’m sorry about your [formerly] trusty old IBM. It happens sometimes to all of us, especially to heavy computer users (like myself :razz: ). I’m glad that at least you’ve got a new one now. Hope the lappie gets fixed soon. :)

Oh my, you’ve certainly had some difficult experiences with computer towers recently. I doubt I would have been as patient as you and probably would have just given up on finding a decent tower. I will admit that I’d probably think that for about five seconds before deciding that was ridiculous and I had to have a computer, come Hell or high water. *lol*

That sucks that your computer broke down. I can’t live with mine! Anyway congrats on getting a new one!!

Wow, that’s a great deal for a comp. with all those specs! I can’t find anything cheaper than $400 with the same specs. :razz:
