boredom kills.

I had to fix two computers today. One simply required the cloning of the hard disk from another computer. The other was far more irritating.
Here's some info on troubleshooting your computer next time so you don't have to phone your tech support officer(me), cause I'm fucking lazy. When you push the power button of your CPU, and it fails to boot up with continuous beeping sounds, there are usually just two causes for such a problem.

1. Faulty RAM
2. Video card Problem

For the RAM, just try reseating it, by which i mean take it out and put back again. Make sure you do it with the power supply DISCONNECTED. I got a nasty shock once and let's just say that I was unable to clench fully for a good couple of hours，plus cause a power trip as well as damage the power supply. And on to the next step. If reseating does not work, try placing it into a different slot. If it still does not work, your RAM might be faulty, or your video card is the one at fault.

Video cards are simpler to troubleshoot. They either work or they don't. If they don't you don't get a display. If you do get a display, that's a sign that your video card's working. There could be other latent causes that cripple your computer's performance, but let's not go into that right now, cause i need a toilet break as well as some fresh air. I'll continue later.

alright. I just realised that I'm turning this into a how to troubleshoot your computer post. So let's get back to what was bothering me. That computer had BOTH of those problems. Both the video card and the RAM was faulty. Which means i had to cannibalize another computer for parts to complete the repair. All in all, finding out what went wrong took a good part of an hour, and when i finally got the fucking piece of shit to boot up, I get a fucking windows activation error. The thing about this cafe is, that my boss has never told me where he keeps his windows Cd-keys. And he told me to my face when i offered to crack the activation for him, that he doesn't want pirated things in the cafe. So that's his problem then. I shan't touch that shit anymore. I don't really expect anyone to understand what i'm ranting about, but nevermind. Computer troubles give fucking big headaches. Couple it together with the fact that I'm kinda exhausted from today's run, I feel like going home right now. Too bad there isn't anyone to cover for me.

And I puked after running. I'm fucking weak now. It's only 1.17KM. What the hell is wrong with me. Yeah, smoking, drinking, and lack of exercise. I'm gonna kill myself if I continue like this. Alright, from the date of this post I will become a teetotaller for a week.

fuck. this is a bloody rojak of a post la. maybe I'll elaborate on all this shit when I feel like it.
