ABEND - Computer Dead

[omimouse]

So, yesterday evening I got to hear my husband repeat, over and over, "I've never seen a system as borked as this" and, "That shouldn't even be *possible*"

Yeah.

So, what the non-techie recalls is that apparantly a nuke went off in my registry, a 'kernel32' error, safe mode having issues, last known good configuration not working, repairing from the Windows disc not working, Louis doing something from something called the console and that not working, a full nuke and pave not working . . .

He can't get my system to stay up and running right now, is what it boils down ti. He says he thinks there's actual physical damage in there at this point.

Meaning I'm effectively without a computer until we can afford to get me a new bare bones system, which will be about $300. Not as bad as getting me a whole new computer, mind you. But still, something that we can't even begin to look at until after the trial at this point. And we're not even sure when we'd be able to afford it after that.

I can be forgiven for my strong opinion that TN has a corrosive and destructive influence on our lives, I hope.

Oh, good luck.

Might be worthwhile to look on Craigslist for a computer someone's selling inexpensively. Or see if any local companies are de-accessing computers.

I don't think TN as a whole is responsible for your woes... just certain people in it. *sigh* This will pass, and it will come out well for the innocent and with appropriate punishment for the others.

I'm sorry hon. =(

You are not only forgiven for it, you are believed about it! (I know a county in Calif. that is the same way. I won't go back even to visit a certain someone's grave.)

Good Thoughts™ that you will soon be able to put all of this behind you.

Not to bring up questionable memories (because I am in a similar situation WRT certain places/events), but I remember when going to TN was a bright, shiny hope for you guys. Life sometimes plays out in ways we either never expect or thought of.

FWIW, my perspective is that, despite what you have had life dump on all of you, forward progress is being made for most of you. Slowly and sometimes by baby steps, but forward nontheless.

♥hugs♥ and please, if we don't get a chance to correspond before you go back for the trial, share those with the girls and warin.

Thank you for the correction. We have been dealing with Wealth & Hellfair and I am a bit fuzzybrained right now.

Sounds like a dying power supply, love. I've had two different machines exhibit those kinds of symptoms, and they both turned out to be PSUs that were failing. *hugs* Hopefully it can get fixed soon; being without a machine -sucks-.
