Just Had a Scary Moment
Sep. 4th, 2006 08:40 pmNot an "OMG" moment or "There's Blood Everywhere" moment, but more of an "Oh Crap" moment.
I had the PC on standby and was coming back to use it after a few hours. Moved the mouse to get things started and the damn thing just shut itself off. OK, not too bad until the damn thing wouldn't turn on again. I was like, "Oh crap, what about my fics?" (some had been worked on since I saved to disc). Then it was "Damn, my iTunes library!"
I ended up turning off the surge protector for about 10-15 minutes and, as you can see, it turned back on. Whew! No I can sleep better tonight.
Is this a sign I should look to a new PC?
Hope everyone had a great holiday!
