My Sager gaming laptop, 3.5 years old, just gave me the blinking cursor and blank screen treatment.
The day before, it was fine.
I think the mother board ate itself.
Am on a seven year old dell inspiron that still works, and that I upgraded with a bit of RAM and will probably, once I get the gaming rig sorted out, back fit with a SSDD 128 Meg as my boss did. He has a six year old computer that, with the upgrade of RAM and SDD runs windows 7 with no trouble.
So, in a few days, when they tell me if that HD went down with my Mo board (the guy a Dr Nerd says it probably didn't, he should be able to dump the HD onto the external HD I brought with me) I'll be asking what DeeBye was asking:
should I build my own rig?
I ask because my son wants to build a gaming rig, rather than buy new, so maybe we two ought to do it together.
I could also sell off some of my 401K and get a high end Alienware, but I don't think I want to spend that kind of money.
Arrggh. I was hoping to play some more D III and play a bunch of LoL with my son during vacation.
Not gonna happen.
