Yes, that is exactly what happened! We were jumping around for a bit and making noise
but no beep!
O/H checked all the connections, tried different monitors, HDD, different cables etc etc, and nothing! just the noise from the fans, and of course, me cursing ... again! On a plus! This old PC is working a lot faster since he moved the HDD arround a bit
It's a lot quieter now too since he bought a new fan for it, the other ones bearings had gone or something, whatever they are :rolleyes:
O/H said he would rather invest in a laptop, which I don't mind, provided he doesn't load it with heaps of junk again! So, we thought of getting a laptop and an external 300GB HDD (for O/H's stuff) for £100 ... is that a good price? Or, maybe 2 laptops, to stop the erm .... bleeps coming from us :rotfl:I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....How do you know I ain't sitting here butt naked?!?!I thunk I've made you think for a minute!:j :rotfl: :j0 -
