My worst nightmare has come true, my computer crashed!!!! Dead, Blank, KaPut, Hard Drive Fried!!!! I turn my computer on last Friday...and nothing, absolutely NOTHING!!!!!
It kept trying to load, But nothing, no Windows page, no pretty pictures, no nothing. Now I'm no computer guru, but I know enough to know that this is BAD :(
So I'm at a complete and total loss. What will I do??? No computer...OMG no email!!! Even worse - No QUILT GROUPS - AHHHHH, I'm not going to make it, and neither is this dumb computer *grin*
This is what I wanted to do to my computer, but I used self control and instead called my dear brother-in-law who took the computer home with him, zeroed it out and got it and me back up and running again :)
Now a HUGE, HUGE "Thank You" not only to him, but also to my dear friend Rosa who, every month reminds everyone on the Dear Jane group to back everything up. So I didn't loose too much stuff :) I just need to retrieve a few email addy's and I'll be all better (LOL)
And, by the way, my external hard drive is on it's way!!!! Lesson learned. VBG

Hi Terry!
Usually, what happens is that the internal fan - which is a relatively cheap thing to replace - gets clogged up with dust or dirt, or simply stops working... and then, your hard drive gets "burnt" or "toasted", actually. Nothing to cool down the inside of your puter. *s*
Glad you were doing your backups, though!
Once you get your external hard drive, I would suggest that you find yourself a good program, to do a "mirror image" backup... Them's the best!
Good luck - keep us posted!
Rosa
P.S. Loved the puter pics, BTW... got a good giggle, even though I did groan, with you. *s*
