[Enjin Archive] I hate my Computer...
Started by Unknown User

On startup, the computer displays the manufacturer startup screen, which lists every component on the computer, with an error on the bottom of the screen that says "Hard Disk Failure Immenint!" I can boot the computer, log into my settings, but after a few mins, the computer becomes non-responsive and shuts itself off. Programs refuse to load. As well, the computer power button makes a weird noise that sounds like it is being pushed twice, which also makes the button whir weirdly. It does this at 5-10 second intervals that increase in speed, then decrease in speed at random intervals. It sounds like a countdown to me.

I do not know what is going on, but I am at the Library typing this message, and therefore Unable to play minecraft. If this means my computer HAS fianlly reached the end, then I have no computers left to use, which means the end of my online life for a few years, unless I can SOMEHOW get a new computer, which btw, I do not have a job, and no money, which means it's a physical immpossiblty at the moment.

I need a miracle guys, but if this is the last time you see me ten I wish you all the best. I am sorry this had to happen, but thats technology for you. I'll try to log in at the library computers at least 2 days a week, to ATTEMPT to keep in contact, but I cannot promise anything.

Until if and when I return, Tibbs4life is promoted to become the New Socialist Republic of Helghan Premier, And Vixen390 Promoted to Supreme Socialist Commander of the Socialist Republic of Helghan. I step down to let the people that can replace me, have full authority and do what needs to be done.

My last 2 standings orders, at to finish the city that I started, and to recuit as many members as is physically possible. Tibbs and Vixen, your authorized by me to access EVERYTHING that I own in minetown, valuables and otherwise, resources and protections. I authorize any admins to add tibbs and vixen with my permission to anything that they need.

Take care all, and thank you for allowing me to have fun whilst I could. I know you will not fail me, and I know you will make the Socialist Republic something to be proud, to be a part of.

Peace, I will see you around, I hope.

Ok, I am back for an hour, managed to book this 1 hour period on the computer today, at the library.

I will clear up these questions that were asked.

1st, people have told me to get a job. I HAVE been trying, several jobs declined me because, in my area, 90% of jobs require you to be bilingual, which I am not, so I am refused any jobs thus far. And I have no interest in learning french, therefore that does, I admit, hinder my attempts. I wish I was in an english only area because of this :\

2ndly, If I WERE to get a job, I would not quit it, that is bad idea here, everyone is looking for a job, and apparently there are not enough to go around, even for those that can get to one. (I did apply at McDonalds, bugged them several times, declined for a job, because I am not bilengual even WITH prior McDonald's work experience).

3rdly, Pawnshops, there is only 1 in the whole city\area that I know of, and they don't sell computers. I asked them why, and they said there is no profit to be made, no interests in people buying them.

4thly, Technicians are plentiful in the area, but they cost alot, I paid the last one to look at my grapichs card quite a bit, AND with staples here refusing to check the computer for no less then $150 alone, let alone REPAIR it which would require additional fees, the money needed is to much for my current capacity to even consider.

5thly, OS disks for a Windows Vista 32 Bit, Home Premium are a problem, because I never made one, nor did I recieve one with the computer when I bought it. Staples will sell it tho, for no less then $200, which I can't afford.

Now, I do recieve Employment Insurance, that when combined with my mothers, only pays the bills, the rent, and barely the groceries\gas. After that, there is no money left over for a savings of any type. Therefore, buying a computer, like I said in my first post, is an impossibilty.

Still, I'll keep looking around, but I don't have high hopes for a job yet.
Just steal some OS disks from the local community college. Most computer repair teachers have tons of them. That's where I got my hoards of them.
