Immediately I will call my computer technician, and rectify the error as early as possible. Afterall computers are manmade and we cannot rely completely on computers.

LOL, I don't think computer will explode, the biggest bang I experience in my computer are when the capacitor of my CRT monitor explode, the sound is quite loud but there are no big phisical damage even on the inside of my monitor, aside from that I don't think computer will explode like bomb.

Oh! Oh! Don't say it. Please don't say it again. I will go really mad then Or I feel the whole sky is breaking upon me. If still I am ok then I will be then be the most unhappy person of this world. I will rest my head upon my two hands for some time and then find out my emergency diary. After then I will contact my hardware mechanics after getting their contacts from the diary and contact them immediately to book a time to repair my system.

Yeah! Because it never happens to me .It surely hurts me because I am not so rich to solve the problem immediately by paying a hardware mechanic a hugh amount and solve the problem within hours. So I have to wait for two or more days and it is my only source of earning. But I have that mind set that I will never give up without solving it. Yeah. thinking of that situation really hurts. I think you will not understand that.

I am sick and tired of this failure called Dell Inspiron 1525. I'm going to switch to Mac. Haha. I had all my files backed-up and uploaded somewhere in cyberspace and an external hard drive so I have no worries. :)

Hi smsky Hmm i use a laptop and that would break then! coz i can't open it up to see what has happened so unlike a desktop, btw i am not that good with computers, i have a lot of friends who have helped me out and have learned some things from them, still have a lot to learn in general about computers... i would say a desktop breaking isn't much problem as compared to a laptop, we also have less options, we can only send back to the company for repairs and here my friends sometimes carry out small operations on their desktops and do small changes necessary to repair their computers and most of time it works out well for them.... nice for them, but my lappy! anyways.... nice funny discussion actually... have a nice day smsky!:)

I just found all the information online to learn about anything that deals with computers.. Learned alot from the web and now I am even upgrading my own computer when it gets out dated. lol Wow I came along way..

If my laptop broke at this very moment I would be very upset indeed. I would probably be really miserable. I might rush out to the computer superstore and buy a new laptop. However I wouldn't have time to be able to select the right choice for me. I had a reset to my laptop last year. It was challenging to be able to use everything on laptop then. I can understand why some people have a backup. Happy computing.

That would be a problem but not a major one! I carry out regular backups every week on a Friday so I don't need to worry about loss of data. I'm also an A+ Certified IT Technician, Network+ Certified Professional and Microsoft Certified Professional! Ok, I had to come out with those! On a serious note though I would deal with the problem myself. I would start the troubleshooting process and get things sorted out. If the pc did something like that though, i.e. loud noise or something similar this sounds like a hard drive crash or something. Otherwise, the problem could be heat related. So that's me. Why pay for an expensive technician when you can study and learn how to do things yourself! Andrew
