Well, to make long story short, earlier today my computer randomly messed up and I called the help place tonight. They have to send me a box within the next few days and I send them my computer in it and then they fix it and send it back. But, that'll takt like a week to a week and a half I guess. And after that, it'll probably be somewhat default and I will ave lost most of my files, which is what im mostly worried about, school stuff, graphics stuff, etc.
So..I will be less active of course as I'm stuck using this <Censored>ty desktop we have that's really slow.
I should be able to get on everyday though at some point though.
Peace...

yeah the guy said that the problem seems to be that it won't boot all the way, so I may or may not lose stuff. Im praying I won't though...
And Jarrod, can you PM me the pass to the GFX Crew Lounge..It's not saved on here.
Thanks.

Yeah, but luckily I don't think it's a hard drive issue. It seems to me like it's either a RAM, Motherboard or Monitor issue. He told me last night that when it starts up and he can't see anything, it does run just can't view anything on the screen. He also mentioned that there is no beep when it starts up, which is a REALLY good sign. Hopefully I'm right on this one, so there should be no problem saving the files.

...And yes, I'm the Computer wiz of SI haha for those who don't know.

GMF7 is correct. as long as it still turns on, it could mean that the HD is salvageable, and that the motherboard is probably the problem
