I made the mistake of going upstairs to look at it some more, and now everyone is in here staring at me and breathing down my neck about what I can replace on this computer.
There are 3 possible things wrong with it, and I have no way of testing it. The PSU probably got some sort of damage when my brother installed the card/was already failing to begin with. The motherboard might be damaged and it has no LEDs and no display so have fun trying to diagnose that one. Both things might be wrong with it and it’s probably flailing about like a beached whale on its deathbed.
So I say these things and my dad’s like, well let’s replace all the parts, and I’m like, you basically want me to build a new computer out of this shitty one then. Replacing the motherboard is replacing the computer…
And they keep coming back to stare at me. Leave me alone. I’m not making any scientific breakthroughs that you might miss. I’m not a genius, I’m just really good at sounding like I know what I’m doing. I need time to think and plan and research on how to do this, and I can’t when people are demanding me to tell them exactly when the computer will be running again and putting all this freaking pressure on me. Why do they think I “hide in my cave” all the time?
I’m going to start my own news station entirely devoted to the status of my broken computer.
I go in there to look at it to get more information on what’s wrong with it, and I walk out to go give up on it for the day, because I’m fed up with it, and my mom is like “SO WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE COMPUTER.” Nothing. It’s still broken. Go back to watching TV. Nothing will probably still be happening in the next few days, because I no longer care.
But I’ll keep everybody posted on any changes that might be occuring with this computer, including additional landings of dust particles as I so extremely NOT work on fixing it.
It says 400W recommended. If I was home, I would have read the box first to make sure it was the right one before installing it >__________>
UGH. My brother tried installing the graphics card while I was gone, because he’s freaking impatient. Now nothing works. It’s worse. I have no idea what the hell he did, but now I don’t know if I can fix it. The power switch light won’t turn on, it won’t turn off once you get the computer on by some miracle. The fans are tweaking out. Still nothing displayed on the monitor. Someone take this thing away from me. I don’t want to deal with it. This is stepping beyond my scope of technical knowledge…
When I say these words, my chihuahua, Chewy, lays down to die. Normally he is insanely hyper and jumping and flipping, but when it’s time to go back in the kennel he suddenly stops, lays down on the ground and refuses to move. He stares off in the distance and won’t look at me, like he’s just so upset that I could possibly decide to put him back in there. I pick him up to move him and he hangs limp and hating life in my arms.
In contrast, when I say the same thing to Taco, he runs happily and waits inside the kennel because he’s a glutton who loves feeding time. If I take too long to bring the food or if I leave the door open by accident, he comes back out and looks for me like, hey, you forgot something.
My dogs are weird.
