Withdrawal

scumbag-computer-system-crash_o_1681595

Honey’s computer ( the p-c in our office ) shut itself off in the middle of the night Sunday.  When we tried to start it on Monday morning, it would go through boot-up until it started  to open Windows and then it would shut itself off again.  Trying to open in “Safe” mode didn’t help – nothing we tried would work.

I took it to the guy we bought it from, and his original diagnosis was that we had picked up a virus.  He pulled the hard drive and ran virus cleaning software on it.  When that didn’t work, he formatted the hard drive and reloaded Windows.

That didn’t work either.

Now the diagnosis  is something fried on the mother board.

The good news is he has another similar computer that he will sell us for about the same price he was going to charge for fixing the old one.

Meanwhile, Honey has been without a computer for four days.  She can use my laptop, and has - but she says it just isn’t the same as having her own.
