My Computer Sucks…

WHY? I will Name the reasons….

1. My Motherboard has blown caps (I have a Gigabyte board for a Socket A AMD Athlon 1.33)
2. Windows Crashes During any High CPU Usage
3. Windows No Longer Boots
4. Linux produces IRQ Errors (Where they shut down IRQ 10 which is APIC and IRQ 18 which is USB and Ethernet)
5. Linux produces IO Errors when trying to move files across the IDE Bus (IDE0(hdb)/slave to IDE1(hdd)/slave)
6. PC takes an half an hour or move to boot the BIOS after a cold start.
7. Linux no longer boots after producing LILO Key Table errors.

You ask what is this plague I talk about?? Each Semester or school year when I have had a computer of my own, a week or two before school starts, my computer breaks in some way requiring a new one or massive hardware purchases.. This sucks!!!

I am getting a new (used) motherboard that takes this processor, but it takes DDR memory, so I have to buy new(used) memory.. Damn money hogging computers!

I am back to sulking now…

Peace
