My PC blew up last night so I've lost everything!

Ev-ery-thing.

Luckily I've finished school so there's no important work but I've lost all my stupid videos, games and mini personal projects that I was doing...

I'm using IE 5 now because I haven't updated it! Oooooh, it's so old.

But everything runs mega fast.

Maybe it's a good thing...

I was on 19gb of crap out of 20gb space on my PC. I'm now on 567mb.

Anyway, I've gotta reinstall everything now. At least I've got the internet working...

Oh and the windows update popup has arrived, only 100 meg of updates to download!

Did your PC actually blow-up??

Or did it just go "BANG!" - like my mum's old black and white TV in the kitched did a few months ago...


I'm surprised my PC STILL hasn't blown-up, yet...!
Or, it should've at least over-heated and caught-fire, by now!

The noises the fan's been making for about 2 years now... I'm surprised it's lasted so long!



We lost out Internet connection, briefly, last week...
My dad's gone into "DIY Mode", and suddenly went and ripped-down the conservatory walls to redecorate...
He was nailing up the plaster board, checked for wires and everything - even marked them all out, too - but still managed to hit one -- the one that runs our internet connection line, too!

So, the BT man came around, sorted it all out within an hour, and now my mum reckons we're gonna owe them something like £150-£200 - just for 60-minutes "simple" work!!

Yup, tis true, i have a master with windows on and is 20GB and a slave with games and 2 storage drives which is 80GB...
Therefor if it crashes or blows up or summin, the slave drive should "SHOULD" still work and be fine...

You wanna get two harddrives, a master hard drive with your windows etc on and a slave hard drive you can use for backing things up. If the main thing crashes then you can still recover important things from your second hard drive.

I agree. Changed to Mozilla yesterday - so much better!

I want my PC to blow up.


Actually, no I don't, because it's not actually my PC. It's my Dad's.


Which is why I'm glad I ordered mine today. Hell I've got a lot of money to pay back to my Dad.

It's soooper fast though.

And I don't think I lost anything |that| important...

Well, I didn't lose anything important.

Just a sod installing everything. But at least games will be all fast again!

Yay!
