Still fighting! But now it's not crashing so much. Occasionally, but no BSOD, at least. I restored Windows to a previous restore point. No progress on the Linux experiment. Took me all day (between classes) just to get it to work out of safe mode. Now I'm all "fuck it" and am going home. Oh, the IT guy never showed.

For some reason, Chrome won't download to that machine now. It tried before, but never was successful. Now it's not even trying.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

@ Zilla: Since I inherited this ancient POS, I can't be guilty of any of that.

Re: Computer go BOOM!
Only once the boot sequence has got as far as launching Windows. It should be possible to intervene before that, but depending on how the boot sequence is configured, you might only have a couple of seconds windows to do this.FBM wrote:@ Zilla:

Will try it again a bit earlier in the process tomorrow, then. Gracias. 
I've got Windows 7 disks, but the fracking CD/DVD player doesn't work. 
Genuine POS. I'm thinking about taking a handful of neodymium magnets to the hard drive and pleading ignorance so they'll just replace the whole thing.
