+quack74 Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 The Day CA went off line so did my PC. Apparently the graphics card required atleast a 450w power supply and my PC only produced about 350. So over time it just fried my harddrive, motherboard, and processor. The place I brought it too pretty much told me I need a new PC. It was only a couple of years old too. Great! Like I have $500 bucks laying around for a new tower. I'm stuck between a rock and..... well I guess another rock. The only good news is they were able to retrieve all my "User" data. Pics, videos, GAME files (thank God). But Now I will have to reinstall ALL the Program Files stuff into what ever PC I get. It's going to take forever! But it could be worse. I could have lost EVERYTHING. 4 years of kids pictures, wedding Pics, videos, 6 years of FE work, and all my business files. That would have been bad...really, really bad. Now CA is back, very cool BTW, I have no PC Quote

+sinbad Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Hi quack74- We have all been bitten by the bitegods at one time or another. Do you have a PayPal account? Some of may be able to help. Quote
+Stephen1918 Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Sorry to hear about your PC crashing. I'm glad you didn't lose any data. Hope you're back online soon. Quote
+quack74 Posted May 26, 2012 Author Posted May 26, 2012 Well it looks like I need to buy a new crate. The place told me it would cost more to fix it than to just buy a new one. Argh! Like I just happen to have $500 bucks laying around. I got kids man! Damn! Quote
+whiteknight06604 Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I know the feeling, some months I have to choose between internet and food for my kids...sometimes the kids get to eat...all joking aside it's really tough. I feal your pain. last time my computer died it was over a year before I could get back up and running and that was because I sold some of my hobby stuff off. Good luck getting up and running. I wish I could help. :( Quote
