More bumpf about the computer
Mar. 15th, 2015 03:22 pmI realise I've recounted more than necessary about my computer woes. Well, here's a bit more for you.
The new computer now has the Blu-ray/DVD/CD drive installed, the memory installed, and all the interior cables connected. This has been a real eyeopener for me: I haven't put a computer together (as opposed to repairing one) in years. So it's quite a bit different.
There are five fans in it (if you count the CPU fan and the fan in the power supply), and I trust they work.
The current computer seems to be stable over the short term. However, the longer it is on, the more likely it is to reboot itself. So I shut it off whenever I go away for more than a moment.
Now I will make a recovery DVD so that I can get back my account/desktop/etc. if the computer reboots at an awkward time.
When my new computer is going and working fine I'll introduce it. Or maybe "her". Should computers get a name? And should that name be male or female? Enquiring minds want to know.
