Got a major problem,
Here in the land of the north (the part of the country that I loathe). The
summers never really get very warm. Save for this year. Temperature has been
in the nineties, and the humidity has been in the nineties. Needless to say,
this has not bode well for my computer, seeing as how it resides in my
basement. You can escape the heat down there, but your clothes never really
feel dry if you've left them down there.
Anyhooblech...Last week, I was playing Ceaser III on my computer, when out
of nowhere...it shutdown. *Wham!* like that..."What the hell?" I thought...I
tried to start it up again, only it refused. It would get halfway through
the start-up procedure, then abruptly shutdown again. Now it's progressed to
where when I try to turn it on, I don't even get the start-up chime. And
once I turn it on using the keyboard, the only way I can shut it off is to
physically unplug the box, no buttons work anywhere on the machine, not even
the power button. I only have two theories on this, either the discount RAM
I bought from Velocity has now crapped out (which I've only had for a few
months), or the Hard Drive has decided it's been around enough, and
committed suicide (conveniently when I have not backed up the disk). I have
a PowerTower Pro 250 with 193MB of RAM, 128 of which...came from Velocity. A
9.0 gig hard drive, and a Newer Technology 400Mhz Processor card.
Any ideas?
Cody...
