I'm back! My computer crashed, but I'm back. Until the next crash.

Oh yeah, twice since I have had a computer and I was so upset. The first time we were without a computer for just a few months and then a friend offered me her old windows98, which worked for 4 months before it crashed. Then I was computerless for 15 months and I hated it. We were fortunate that my husband knew someone who built computers and he built this one for us. Next in line is a laptop we are looking into buying from this guy. I hope you are still here. I didn't respond because I was out of town for a few days and just now getting back online myself.

I've been fighting it out with old computers until last month. I do know what you mean, my old one that was retired last summer couldn't handle the new wireless routers, and the other one had staying online issues, so far, so good with this one tho!

I am really fortunate, nothing has ever crashed completely. I have had some bad viruses, a time or two, and I had a problem with a laptop, it took three different shops to figure it out. That was a year or two ago. They told me then that it would not be worth repairing if anything else happened. It is doing pretty well, still. I was going to get a new laptop just for me, until the house had to have its share of my money this week. Glad you are back.

Hi, Edge3! Mine crashed a couple of days ago, and I lost all the e-mails that had piled up. That really bothers me, since at least some people will think I'm just rudely ignoring them, and some bills might not be paid on time unless another bill comes in very soon. I have a contract on it, so it was fixed, but it took two full days, and a couple of little glitches still had to be fixed. We love our computers until they turn on us, don't we!

Yes this is never fun. My computer crashed twice. I got a bad virus both times and my friend took it and wiped it and I had to start from scratch. Thank goodness I always back my photos up by uploading them online to photobucket. When you got it fixed did you loose anything? Luckily now we have two computers in the house now. So if one crashes I still have a back up. LOL.

Last year , the computer that I'm using now was always crashing. The first time I saw the BSOD , I was freaked out. The computer that was making all these weird rebooting noises , so I knew something was wrong but I also knew because the computer kept on freezing every few minutes. Ultimately , the computer had a massive freeze and I saw the BSOD. I tried turning on computer but it would only stay on for a matter of minutes before the BSOD struck again. So I used my Windows OS disc and made a fresh reinstall. I thought the problem was fixed but then the BSOD came again a few weeks later. I reinstalled windows xp again but the same thing happened again a few weeks later. So I just kept on reinstalling windows for a period of around 2months. Eventually , I couldn't even reinstall windows , so I took my computer to a computer expert. I left the computer with him for a day and then he gave it back to me and I haven't had a BSOD since.

A few weeks ago my hard disk crashed. I managed to obtian part of my data due to a friend of mine. my school lab technician. He managed to recover part of my data from a cd software he managed to download. i am glad that at least I manaaged to recover part of my data which is essential for my work. It serves me as a good lesson that i always need to update my work before I switch off my computer.

Glad to have you back! I have had some virus problems too. Tried to use a fraudulent security program and got into alot of trouble. But thanks to Norton and Spysweeper I don't have those problems anymore. Hope you have a good security program and don't think that the ones that come with your online provider are enough and will take care of it all for you. That isn't the case.

Oh yes..it was a nasty virus too. I wasn't able to have my computer fixed. It was pretty outdated anyway. I was very upset about it though.

You should have a good antivirus and a good firewall to protect you pc from being crashed. Also at least every month, clean your computer by using a blower to dust it all. As long you can maintained clean and a good antivirus software. I dont thin it would crashed so easily.
