So my landlady wants her work PC fixed, and I want to leave some stuff in her basement this summer and pick it up in late september.
So I spent the best part of a day and a half fixing little faults, and the thing is STILL crashing, it gets file corruption on a reinstalled windows within half a dozen boots.
And when I take out the graphics card (a SiS POS) to see if putting a better card would help...it just stops working. Oh, and that's when I discovered the cracked chip on the motherboard.
Naaargh. And it wouldn't boot after that. Ah well, at least my old P166 laptop which has been gathering dust since I picked up my Fujitsu Stylistic 1200 is getting used now..
I'm happy that things worked out for both of you, but I'm not clear as to how it illustrates "irony" . . .

God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam… God bless America! My home, sweet home.
-- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
