It didn’t
seem too bad when it started. The internet froze. That happens occasionally and
most of the time it just sorts itself out. Then it extended to the rest of the
laptop. Eventually I had to shut it down with that big button you’re only
supposed to use for turning it on. I hate doing that, and use it only as a last
resort. When it came back on it said it had to do some kind of start-up repair
thing. I thought it was just a result of how it was turned off. A few days
later Windows crashed. It came back on fine, but by then it was worried. Then
the start-up repair started happening every time I turned it on. It always said
it failed but the computer always went on fine afterwards. Until it didn’t.
Days went by and it was still in this state. It spent hours and hours trying to
do this repair thing. At one point I let it go on for nearly 48 hours just to
see if it actually did something.
It was a
lost cause, and the worst happened. So I had to find a replacement, which puts
me nicely in the middle of my overdraft. I’ll be living very cheaply between
now and January, but I needed a working computer. I’m still keeping the old
one, in case we do manage to find a solution sometime in the future. I highly
doubt it though. I had it two years but it was second hand and other parts of
it had problems, it was only a matter of time sadly.
The new
computer works well. It has better memory and stuff. It’s Windows 8, which is
interesting. I like it but there are some parts of it that annoy me, but I’m
sure I’ll get used to it. It doesn’t play Minecraft as well though. It has a lot
more lag than it did on my old computer and I’m hoping this doesn’t last
because I don’t want to lose my games but it is a bit more difficult to play
now.
R.I.P old
laptop, I did love you.
Hello new
friend, I look forward to working with you (I haven't got around to changing the background yet).
