[01:17] <gamerchick02> SSD arrived! SSD installed! computer won't boot. :(
[02:03] <cmaloney> Woo woo
[02:41] <_stink_> cmaloney: the garbage disposal was a headache for us too
[02:41] <_stink_> but congrats!
[02:43] <cmaloney> _stink_: Did you lose power too?
[02:47] <_stink_> we did, at around the same time you did, but got it back at about 3pm on Thursday
[02:48] <_stink_> still haven't dug out of the pile of dishes.
[02:48] <_stink_> did manage to purge the fridge and restock though.
[02:54] <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)
[03:01] <_stink_> hah, yes
[17:00] <gamerchick02> welcome back cmaloney
[17:00] <cmaloney> Computer locked up
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <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.
[17:04] <cmaloney> Good luck
[17:12] <gamerchick02> thanks
[17:12] <gamerchick02> microcenter has a 17 day backlog right now
[17:12] <gamerchick02> they lost power for like 4 days
[17:13] <cmaloney> Oh that's no fun
[17:13] <cmaloney> I didn't realize they were down as well
[17:14] <gamerchick02> yeah!
[17:14] <gamerchick02> so. $40 for a diagnostic, $130 for the repair, plus parts
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <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
[17:40] <jrwren> !!! https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/sys/6011964791.html
[17:57] <cmaloney> jrwren: Does it run Ubuntu? :)
[18:01] <gamerchick02> dang that's huge
[18:03] <jrwren> cmaloney: i'll bet you could make it work ;)
[18:12] <gamerchick02> i'm sure he could!
[20:08] <cmaloney> jrwren: I would love the opportunity to try.
[21:31] <gamerchick02> of all the people, i'm sure you could get it running proper. :)
[21:54] <cmaloney> i find your faith comforting and frightening. ;)
[22:06] <gamerchick02> hey, you're a level higher than me with the whole computer thing. i managed to short something on a drive install
[22:10] <cmaloney> i blew up a motherbkadd and a processor in my last computer
[22:10] <cmaloney> don't underestimate ykur skills
[22:14] <jrwren> ^^^ always good advice.

[22:33] <jrwren> I didn't really get it.
[22:34] <jrwren> oh jezz... NOW I get it.
[22:40] <cmaloney> ;)
[23:02] <gamerchick02> it didn't blow up. just stopped working
[23:03] <gamerchick02> i didn't release any magic smoke
[23:05] <jrwren> gamerchick02: have you tried a diff video card or the onboard video?
[23:10] <gamerchick02> the computer won't turn on, jrwren
[23:10] <gamerchick02> it won't turn on regardless of what i have in there
[23:10] <gamerchick02> :(
[23:13] <jrwren> did you double check the power button cable and power supply cables to the mobo?
[23:13] <jrwren> do you have an old IDE cable plugged in backwards (used to be a thing)
