I mentioned how my computer went bang a few posts back. Here’s what’s happened so far:

Well, the computer wasn’t COMPLETELY farked – I blew the PSU and the secondary hard drive (250GB – loadsa progs etc. and my MAIN backup drive 😐 ).

The strange thing is, my primary hard drive wasn’t in the machine at the time and yet it fails to boot and I can’t access any data on it even when booting from linux…VERY weird.

So it seems that I blew the 250GB drive ‘cos it was in the machine, and the 120GB drive decided to fail in sympathy 😕

I did manage to sort Harriett’s computer though – was thoroughly tested at mine by Ed and Phoebe for a good 1.5 hours and was fine so back to hers it went.

Saturday I got it all hooked up and everything was happy, happy, joy, joy for a while until Nat went to have a go on it…damn thing rebooted itself after 15 minutes 😐

Now, I’ve checked (and changed) everything – hard drive, CD drive, memory, all PCI cards and STILL it does this reboot thing – I changed the extension power cord – same thing happened.

So what I’ve decided is to get myself a new computer and let Harriett have my one – I KNOW 100% it does not reboot itself randomly…my good name in computing is on the line here 😛
