computer troubles

Rate this Entry
I am typing this on a mobile phone right now. You wanna know why? My computer decided it wasn't going to work. It randomly turned off and the power light flashed yellow. I tried to turn it back on and was greeted with a spark and the smell of smoke. No idea whats going on. And my phone sucks so I can't even use xat, plus typing is really hard. Hate thissssss :c

    From the sounds of it, some part of the internals may have shorted out. That's what happened to my old PC"s. (Both made by HP). The first was a power serge in which a spark and smoke came out.
    My second HP killed it self after something shorted out (some power thing)

    Maybe have someone look at it?


    3 years, not bad.

    Okay, I actually got back on my computer now. I was checking EVERYTHING to make sure it was okay. Apparently the fan needed a good dusting so I did that... while I was writing some of these messages, but everything else appears to be fine, so I guess it did overheat and just needed time to cool down. It's incredibly strange that it overheated though, I've only had it on for a couple of hours and it's never done this to me before, even after weeks of staying on.

    well, parts deteriorate over time. But that's good to know c:

    Tough Luck. Maybe you could get another computer and be on JV again.

    yeah, overheating happens sometimes. all you can do is clear out any dust and maybe buy a bigger fan.

    You got some of the JV trojans a week back right?
    Maybe one of them shut down your fan.

    Or maybe it's just a short circuit/ overheat.

    I am not that careless, I was on JV, but I did not get any trojans.

    [COLOR="#800000"]Depends of the age of the computer
    but I wouldn't tell deteriorate (Or whatever it's spelled) as it usually affects the perfomance, rather than starting engine[/COLOR]
