Random Thoughts....

So I formatted my system drive because I was getting all sorts of errors and my computer was turning itself off by itself. I analyzed the HDD and found that the kernel files had been modified, so I thought they had gotten corrupted somehow.

After the HDD wipe and putting back Windows on it, it stopped turning itself off ... but I've been getting all sorts of problems with it lately. Here's a list of what I have so far.

1. My system tells me that it has a processor with a clock speed of 1.7 Ghz .... but I know for a fact that it can't do more than 1.5 Ghz. Has my computer overclocked itself??

2. Sometimes when I try to delete icons from my desktop, the computer freezes.

3. Sometimes when accessing some of Window's settings from the Control Panel, it freezes.

4. Inexplicably, at random times, it prompts me to connect to my backup dialup connection. (My main connection is up and running all the time, so no need to and it never did that before.)

Ummmm...... help!?

Except for number 4, sounds more like a hardware problem. I'd try to isolate it using bits of hardware from other pc's to find what is faulty. Another HDD would be my first choice. I had a similar problem a long time ago, but then I caused it. I overclocked the system too much and it messed with the PCI and IDE freqs, causing my HDD to go nuts... Maybe you should check that core speed, might be causing all this somehow.

I agree. When he started using you, bells should have been going in your head.

Somehow it always surprises me just how stupid women are at picking their men. Not all women, but the bigger majority most of the time. And every time a breakup happens ... guess what? "All guys are assholes." and "Where are all the good men?" always come up as subjects. And guess where the good men are? Right underneath their noses and are always the guys that they'll never pick even if they were the last on earth.

So .... in retaliation for all the women that uttered the words "all guys are assholes" I propose a new saying: "All girls are idiots who don't know what they want."

When you suddenly come up with a brilliant idea, do you immediately think "That was a great idea, I am a genius", or "I am an idiot, why didn't I think of that sooner"? I for one am in the latter category.

I always give myself kudos for it.

Unfortunately it's a laptop, so I can't do it. I would if I could.
But I have to agree ... the problem has to be hardware ... thus I need a new computer ... gonna buy a desktop this time. And I'll keep the laptop as long as it's running ... might as well milk it for all its money.
 
^ Ugh, can we please keep the e-teen lingo for the CAPS THREAD?
 
most good guys are taken, the rest are hanging out at final gear ;)

thanks though for the posts, i contacted the police last night and i'm going there this afternoon to make a statement. times likes these make for good learning experiences however and i'm very happy to cut my losses and move onto greater things without causing a fuss.

onto happier subjects!
 
I have two ladies who were just at a porn store coming over my apartment within a few minutes. :D

On a side note i've nearly finished some assignment of mine on routing protocols... 30 pages later...
 
So I'm at a party tonight, just chillin' and watching my friends dance with each other. It's a pretty slow night, and people aren't really getting into it but just talking.

This guy is talking to this blonde girl. I watch them for a few seconds out of the corner of my eye, mostly because she's really hot. All of a sudden he mentions "Richard Dawkins", then says his name again.

Richard Dawkins? The author? Who the hell's talking about him at a frat party?

So I have to verify this. "Holy shit, did you just say Richard Dawkins?"

"YEAH, DUDE! YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT?"
I don't believe this, other people have heard of him. "Hell yeah, that's legit, man."

At this point's he's ecstatic, a huge grin on his face. He's practically jumping up and down. He's looking at his hot friend with excitement, and she's merely playing along. "HOLY CRAP, THAT'S AWESOME! Do you know Chris Soandso?"

The name doesn't sound familiar, but I'm assuming it's a famous author whose work I've read too. "Yeah, yeah!"

He gets even more excited. "What about Rick Whatshisface?"

"Yeah!" At this point I'm just playing along, partially because I didn't want to disappoint him. It's like a child on Christmas Eve catching his father putting on a Santa suit. "Yeah, I know him too!"

"Oh man! What about...Sean Someonebodywhatever?"

Nope. This has got to stop. "Uhh, sorry, not that guy." His face turns into a pout. "Nah, that's cool, man," he says before I slowly come to the heavy realization: fuck, man, I don't know anybody named Richard Dawkins.

:bangin:

wow, i've had a really great day today. found out i've been dating a con artist and control freak who has swindled me out of my lap top and hundreds of dollars in clothing and cash, and coerced me to pay for a 200 dollar sewing machine. he would borrow my car and use up all my petrol, then i'd have to pay for his petrol plus mine, he's also damaged my car window controller. he forced me to quit my job and live with him for half a week working for his business which he hasn't paid me for. he tried to convince me to drop out of uni and work for him full time while he swindled more of my money and time out of me. tonight i stood up to him and he threatened me and threw me out of his house. my parents have taken me back in and they had to pick me up because i was so upset i would have crashed on the hour drive home. not to mention he has multiple knives in his home and has a previous assault charge.

now i am broke, jobless, have 2 essays due this week and in a really bad emotional state. and the reason why i'm telling a bunch of strangers on the internet this is because he has hacked my email accounts and i cannot get in touch with my friends. not to mention no one wants to talk to me at 4am except for the police who keep calling me because he's trying to make a complaint against me at his local station.

and i have no one to blame but myself for all this happening. so in short - i'm a fuckwit.

You might try to get the cops to get him to return everything to you.

Can't say much else; not entirely sure what is correct to do in such an instance.
