My computer crashed again and I worked on it all day yesterday and today and it can not be fixed. I discovered the harddrive is worn out and unstable, I tried reinstalling XP again but it crashed durning the instalation and now is completely trashed. It won't even bootup. So I have no money to fix it and am out of luck. I am now using my old computer than takes 15 miniutes to load any page. It is almost wreaked too, I'm suprised its even working at all. It should really be garbaged but its somehow still loading pages but it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. So I won't be around as much as I used to. I have no virus protection or spyware the computer can handle the load without freezing, so I can't have that. I have no sound on this computer or anything else. Its worst than webtv. I f I had the money I would buy a new computer but I don't so I can't. I knew this day would come someday and it has arrived. My page building days, the thing I love most to do is over. I now have nothing to do anymore, no hope of ever being able to do it again, this computet can't do it, so I won't be able to either. I really have nothing to look forward to anymore, nothing to do at all. So I decided to start watching TV more, and try that out for awhile, I'll start eating more too, things to get my mind off computers and the internet because they are not in my cards anymore.

If you can get the puter to boot up

Try system restore

Hard drive can be replaced, also exspansion drive can be added.

The Mother Board might be ok

Going back to XP Program did not help. The Registry would contain fragments.

A highly trained Tech should have done the XP change over..even then there is no guarantees.

Especially if the original computer was built with Windows 7

If you have no virus protection then you will attract nasties within 5 mins on the net.

Tell me something I don't know mrs computer wiz. What part of harddrive wornout and "no money" don't you understand?

We can all clearly see candy is better with computers than I am, so any questions about computers or page building just ask candy, shes better than tyler.

Hahahahaha

I am only trying to be helpful

But you did say you don't go into the Registry

You never know I might know something, but page building no.

Lets try again. People have old computers DESKTOPS that they throw out.

Your hard drive might be ok try it on another computer.

The Mother Board is the first to go. Make sure your hard drive is caput.

You can buy discs to trouble shoot.

There is lots of second hand equipment about.

How could you possible tell if your hard drive was worn out and unstable.

second hand computers are checked before sold.

We all can learn something about computers.

Well folks I am back and in full force! My new computer is fixed and faster than ever. I can honestly say it has never been faster than it is right now, in fact I have never been on a computer this fast! Its unreal like something I have never experienced before. Pages load the instant you click the link, indescribable, insane speed. I of course have all my programs up and running and am fully protected. I wish you could just try this computer for a minute and see what I mean, insane.

No it didn't need that, I don't know what it needed or how it got fixed, all I know is its fixed and faster than its ever been before. How it got like that I do not know. I'm a website developer coding guy, my thoughts go into that area of computers, not a computer fixer expert.. lol

For a comparison example, You know in auto racing competitions there are the 'mechanics' and the 'drivers' of each team?,, well I am the driver of the computer and also creator of the tracks (websites) it drives on, the computer fixers are the 'mechanics' and fixers of the computers.

Well the Cars have got to come back sometime.

Now let me think Tyler, bet you had a new QUALITY Processor chip put in to make your computer go faster.

What size have you got...must be high spec. I will tell you what I got if you will tell me yours.

Now it is called Pentium.


GOT IT Cars go round in a circle because it is a LAP.

Candy it was to say I have no clue as to techy issues, since Tyler was speaking about mechanics and drivers, It was a joke.

Well Well
Almost exactly as mine. Except for 2.99GB of Ram which temporally stores data.
But I think you can download more.
(Ram is Random Access Memory)

Mine also says Physical Address Extension

In computing, Physical Address Extension (PAE) is a feature to allow (32-bit) x86 processors to access a physical address space (including random access memory and memory mapped devices) larger than 4 gigabytes.
WHAT! I thought I had 64 bit..yep I just got lost.


pentium microprocessor, relatively new central processing unit from the Intel Corporation (Computers) I had to look this up.

used space 188GB (I am a busy Bee)
Total Capacity 232GB

My Extension Drive is 931GB
Free Space is 923GB

Say SSC your joke flew over my head, I am just an Ambling Armadillo.

I am more interested in what the man payed out to have his computer mended. I thought he had no money and was going to stare at the wall.
It's like trying to squeeze a dried up lemon.

But his spec is interesting.

Well Extension Drives don't count that's cheating..lol

Yeah you ARE busy to be using that much harddrive space, damn you must have a lot of videos or something on there, no wonder you needed an extension drive. My drive is nowhere close to being used up and needing an ext drive I don't store much on it at all, I just have the essentials like programs I use. All the videos and pics or anything else I burn to disk to keep my computer from having to store it. But I can understand why you might like to keep stuff on your pc.

Yeah mine also says Physical Address Extension I just didn't include it in my post.

So Candy what is on your computer that you have used 188GB of space? That is massive. As you can see I have only used 13.9 GB of space and you know what I can do on the computer with my programs, so I am curious what could possibly constitute using 188GB of space. My guess is Brian keeps his videos he made on there. You could never need enough programs to take up 188GB of space, so that leads me to believe you have videos and other media on there. I would recommend you burn some of them off to disk to free up your computer. You computer will run faster regardless if you have an external drive or not. Your main hard-drive takes priority over your external drive as far as your computer is concerned.

Yeah but even all of that doesn't come close to using 188GB of space. I think if that is all you have then something is wrong. You harddrive might be holding more than you know or perhaps part of it is not functioning or damaged so it is displaying what you have left that is not damaged or corrupted. Its certainly worth looking in to and that computer guy was a step in the right direction. I don't think that much space is being used correctly so it leads me to think a large part of your hard-drive is corrupted. 188GB is massive.

Good luck with that and keep us informed.
