| gamerchick02 | SSD arrived! SSD installed! computer won't boot. :( | 01:17 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | Woo woo | 02:03 |
| _stink_ | cmaloney: the garbage disposal was a headache for us too | 02:41 |
| _stink_ | but congrats! | 02:41 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: Did you lose power too? | 02:43 |
| _stink_ | we did, at around the same time you did, but got it back at about 3pm on Thursday | 02:47 |
| _stink_ | still haven't dug out of the pile of dishes. | 02:48 |
| _stink_ | did manage to purge the fridge and restock though. | 02:48 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, the fridge got a cleaning | 02:54 |
| cmaloney | everything was tossed | 02:54 |
| cmaloney | (I think this is nature's way of renewing our fridge) | 02:54 |
| _stink_ | hah, yes | 03:01 |
| gamerchick02 | welcome back cmaloney | 17:00 |
| cmaloney | Computer locked up | 17:00 |
| gamerchick02 | at least it's back. mine is dead | 17:01 |
| gamerchick02 | well i have the ubuntu laptop | 17:01 |
| cmaloney | Ugh | 17:01 |
| cmaloney | That's no fun | 17:01 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah | 17:01 |
| gamerchick02 | i tried to upgrade the hard drive which required removing the graphics card so i'd have enough room to plug in the SATA cables and something happened. i don't know what. it's either the mobo or the power supply. so i'm going to microcenter sometime next week to get them to diagnose it and figure out a repair. | 17:02 |
| cmaloney | Good luck | 17:04 |
| gamerchick02 | thanks | 17:12 |
| gamerchick02 | microcenter has a 17 day backlog right now | 17:12 |
| gamerchick02 | they lost power for like 4 days | 17:12 |
| cmaloney | Oh that's no fun | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | I didn't realize they were down as well | 17:13 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah! | 17:14 |
| gamerchick02 | so. $40 for a diagnostic, $130 for the repair, plus parts | 17:14 |
| gamerchick02 | so i'm looking at $400 about to get this fixed if i need a new mobo and chip | 17:15 |
| cmaloney | Blergh | 17:15 |
| gamerchick02 | well i can swing it. i don't WANT to but i need the desktop | 17:15 |
| gamerchick02 | my gaming addiction calls for it. :-P | 17:16 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 17:16 |
| gamerchick02 | i like having separated computers for different functions. an ubuntu laptop and a windows desktop | 17:16 |
