Best Buy says even with the new hard drive they can only get it to post about half the time. They swapped in new memory, swapped in a new battery, tried a bunch of different things, from the sound of it they were quite thorough. They determined the mobo must be going bad.
My hard drive WAS bad, my parent's computer didn't like it either and it's completely dead now, so I guess it's just an amazing coincidence.
Best ETA: "no sooner than two weeks."
Everything I own is old and broken. My computer. My laptop. My car. My dog. My house.
I can't even create any new art to try and sell to recoup some expenses here because MY COMPUTER IS DEAD. and nobody wants to buy any of my art anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.
hate myself right now.
