Errrrrrrrg!

My computer has been acting funny lately. A friend of mine built it for me back in 2005 or 2006, I can’t remember. Anyways, yesterday I was editing some video on my other computer (my MAC) and my PC started smelling funny. Like a burning smell. I freaked out and unplugged it so it could cool down, and I went and got compressed air today to clean all the dust out.

Well, when I plugged it all back in, the computer itself starts up, but my monitor, mouse and keyboard do not start up and work. I removed the hard drive, checked the fans, checked the RAM and none if it helped. So, I’m just going to go get a new one tonight. It sucks though, I have a lot of emails and stuff on that computer… plus all my programs and such. It’s a nightmare. I removed both hard drives in hopes they can add them to the new computer or at least transfer the content over. It MUST be a mother board issue.

SO…. I’m writing this from my laptop. I wanted to let my members know what’s up. I’m hoping to get a new one tonight, and have everything installed tomorrow after I get back from my shoot. So hang in there… spy cam will be back up. If you made an order or sent an email… I will get back to you about it tomorrow.

Thanks for understanding. xooxo, Sandee

Thats hot how much you know about computers. Provided the people at the shop arnt retards they should be able to transfer the data (emails programs etc) to the new one.

My motherboard fried once (had the smell) Luckly everything was retrievable from the hard drive so you should be ok as long as the hard drive is not messed up. If it is compatible with your new pc they might be able to just add it. And that will give you two hard drives. But they should be able to retrieve the info.

WNxgrandbanks~ you seem to know inner workings inside your computer , fabulously ! i took my computer apart this summer my lady , was it nasty . cleaned every thing i could possible including taking apart the power supply & cleaning the crud ! guy who built this puter was a putts though <(-;< ! got it all together the thing didn’t start because that idiot put somekind of setup glued powerbutton switch wouldn’t work , anyway finally up an running , yeahhhh ! you should be able to transfer all your harddrive info over . but next time invest in like an external harddrive usb , i’m thinking and your data as of such should be saved to that & tranfer if need be . can i say your massively fiiiinnnneeeee !!!
