Heavy drink'n might help oh wait thats me. S'ok you go open an account with BestBye one with like 16 mo no paymonths and ye get yer self a puter. But first lets give uncle Vile some details on how the old one went dead even if we have to stay this thread for a month. I am a puter technician and I will tell you right now if you take to shop your gonna get ripped. Lots of things can make a computer stall, shut down, not boot etc. Not just a fried board. How ever they do get a lot of money in labor to replace one for you. Right now I have mine bandaged together with dead fan in the Power Supply. I stitched together with some other fans I had lying around. Let me help you your too good an Artist to give up.
