Oh dear. How long have you been waiting now? Since you got back from NZ?

[watervole.livejournal.com]

Hug.

What? I thought they were supposed to deliver it tonight. What happened? *hugs*

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Woe!

Aaarrggghhhh!

I'm so glad that when it's time for me to get a new computer, I can just buy a few parts in a store and build it myself. No couriers for me! If I lived anywhere near you, I'd fix your computer for you. {{hugs}}

Yes. I ordered the wretched thing the day I came back, due to the sickness of my current desktop. The one blessing in all this is that my sick desktop is still working (albeit it does still keep crashing, but it also is still managing to come back up again).

[kerravonsen]

I have absolutely NO IDEA what happened. They didn't contact us in any way whatsoever.

I've never built a computer from scratch. I've added disk drives a couple of times, but the one time I tried to add more memory, I fried the motherboard. 8-(

This is getting ridiculous. *wishes I could hand you a gun*
Much more helpful than a hug at this point. At least, a more satisfying idea.

[kerravonsen]

It got ridiculous a week ago. It is far, far beyond ridiculous now.

And, no, I wouldn't find a gun satisfying. All I want is my computer, dammit!

[kalinda001.livejournal.com]

I do hope you get it soon.

Strange, I didn't know that was possible. Did you get the right kind of memory? When I upgrade my computer, I make sure I know what's already in it, so the new stuff will fit. All memory modules must usually have the same speed, or strange things can happen.

Also, with memory and the CPU, you have to be careful about static electricity when you put it in. Touch the computer with your hand before you let either of those touch the computer and make sure you keep physical contact with the computer while you're doing it. But static electricity during the installation would only fry the memory or the CPU, not the motherboard.

When I built my current computer, I did have a problem: the CPU ran only at half speed. Turned out that one of the two memory modules was faulty. Luckily the store gave me a new one.

Well, I fried something. I wasn't going to go anywhere near it after that.
