I turn on the computer and nothing happens. The dumb thing was running fine at noon. I put it in the case, carry it around for a few hours, take it out at 3:30, and it's dead. Bootable CDs don't work, the caps-lock light won't come on, even the screen backlight isn't activating.
Frell.
I suppose this is where warranties come in handy.

Can someone explain this "frell" thing to me?
And couldn't you have maybe knocked something loose when you were carrying it around?

I have noticed that when the CMOS battery starts going it will give you a warning... loses time, needs to be reconfigured...
Moving PC and notebooks around I have encountered loosened connections, even not moving them, when I lived next to a busy road, the vibrations seem to have wiggled the IDE 1 cable loose. That one I didn't solve, my roommate did...

You may have to learn to live with the fact that your computer hates you, and has always hated you, and will always hate you. It's sad, I know, but our future robot masters have the beginnings of their hatred for us developing now.

For a moment I read "My Bias is dead." But then I was outside, and saw that the porcine population was still firmly on the ground.

Oh bloody hell. Stuff all the fucking fake curses on TV. I hate them all. Grrrrr...
On the other hand...what the smeg! (I don't think that sounds so bad - better than frell anyway)

My computer's time is off by a few seconds. I have to constantly update it. I hope the CMOS isn't dying on me. I haven't had a warning yet though.

You're worried your computer's clock is off by a few seconds? What are you comparing it's clock to?
