My computer died

Post by LICKING COUNTY FAN »

Had to buy a new computer and though it is much faster, this windows eight thing is for the birds.

I just deleted the others, for the record I am not sure why it posted four times.

Very sorry.

Most people that have bought the Windows 8 pc's have taken it somewhere to have it partitioned off and had Windows 7 put on, so they have an option of which OS to use. There is so much garbage on Windows 8 that will never be used by the average user.

I'd use Chrome if our IT guys would let me.

Almost three years ago my computer was getting ready to be recycled, when I happened upon the linux OS Ubuntu. It still runs perfect to this day, and its easy to install.

No, i didn't have time to take it out there to JS's. I did yard work here, then mean jean put me to work out there. I took your advice and kept fiddleing with it when i got home and some how it came unstuck. I kept turning it off and on a bunch and tapping the keyboard. Really don't know how i did it. But it works now. But give it time, the ole 2 stroke virus will be back i bet. I haven't got no luck with anything.

Is your fan working on that trench? Sometimes mine will act funny because the cooling fan is not working and it gets hot,need to get around to taking off that cover and give it a good blow with the campbell hausfeld and get some of that dust out of there.If it's not that you probably got some kind of malware in there that needs removed.

Seems to be working, i can feel a little bit of air being blown out of the vent on the side. Can hear it come on at start up. Could be a little 2 stroke malware too, like you said. But without the big bee sound.
