Just wanted to let you all know while I had a chance, that my computer died on friday and I have no idea what's wrong with it or if I'm gonna be able to get it fixed.

In the meantime..hope everyone stays happy, safe and sly. I'll miss you all

(I'm hoping it's just gonna be temporary and I'll be back real soon, but it doesn't look good)
Hope to see ya back on soon!
Bummer! Hurry back if you can! We'll miss you.
Hurry back MB. Won't be the same without ya.
We need to pool together and buy MB an new PC!

I don't know how long I can last!!!
Describe what is wrong.... I will do my best to give an answer on how to fix it. it pays having friend that work for MS`
Sorry to hear that Magmababe, hope to see ya soon.
Computers....a necessary evil that can be so damn unreliable.
Hope the problem is short lived and your back soon. Going to miss you
All the IT guys here, I am sure we can give sound advice on whats wrong. I have a closet full of spare parts!!!
Me too! I have whole PC's too! (350MHz)
Hokey dokey...here's an update on the probs I've been having..
Last night when I came home after discussions with the fella.. I was told it was most probably a problem with my power supply...

So after much unscrewing and fiddling about with wires (which got kinda confusing as I wasn't too sure whether I'd turned the tower on or off after I'd pressed it so flippin' much) success!! but now the fans in my tower aren't working..and I'm kinda loathe to start fiddling around again.
It also doesn't help that for some reason that I have on a few occasions recently got a wonderful blue screen with white writing telling me I have a corrupt PFN (I think they were the letters) but I have been promised some help with that if it happens again, I just gotta write down the numbers.
Apparently, my cpu is warning me that my computer set up has been changed as well. Which is odd as I haven't touched it..honest guv!
Still, I'm back for the meantime... thanks to all you guys for the 'best wishes and offers of help. I kinda felt like I should stay away for a bit longer so I didn't look like such a lemon...but on the other hand...how can I possibly keep away from you lot?!!!

(laugh at your own peril...I can't help being technically challenged!!)
I'm glad it was short lived...
would have been too much of a " bald dude weenie roast" around here without your smilin' face (or should I say your classic English model girl, slight smirk, to the side shot pose...WAIT ...YOU'RE NOT EVEN SMIRKING,...AWW, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

Eventhough I make my living on them ...I sometimes hate the whole computer thing too...way too complicated for s simple dude like me!
