Goddamnit

In a day that couldn't get much worse, I came home to find my computer off. My computer never ever is turned off, except at night. When I tried to power it n, nothing. After removing everything on the system, it still won't power on. Computers dead. This means all I have is a buggy iMac that freezes every few minutes and my cell phone. I have no money to buy a new one, or even components for one any time soon. Comics are on hiatus until I get a new PC, which could be a few months at this rate.

I've had a really really really bad day. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bash my head against the wall.

10 to 1 this freezes when I post it.

Update on the computer thing:

I tore the system completely down to just memory, motherboard and video, no POST, no beep. Cleared the CMOS, ran it without video, ran it without memory, no beeps codes, no POST.

When I replaced the video card a few months ago, I had a lot of trouble finding an AGP card for my system, memory was hard to come by as well. I kinda half heartedly was thinking of upgrading the system.

The computer place I go to had a motherboard/CPU combination that was uber cheap. Not what I wanted (when I usually buy something like that, I try to get top of the line and then grind it into the ground (I ran a Pentium I 200MHz till 2003)), but it was cheap, and fit kinda in my grocery budget. It's gonna leave me with about $50 for groceries, but if I choose well, I should be able to survive.

It's not what I was hoping in an "upgrade" at all. It's a Pentium D running at 2.66GHz. Micro ATX form factor, though, just 2 expansion ports. It's got onboard video (mixed-memory, though), and hopefully it'll take my memory and power supply.

At best, I'll be out a week. At worse, I'll be out two months.

What a day. I need a drink.

At least the iMac is acting SOMEWHAT stable.

And to end the day on a totally perplexing twist, the pc came back up as if nothing had happened.
