My laptop isn't doing very well. It keeps crashing in a way that makes the screen go black and all programs stop running, but doesn't shut the machine itself down. It won't recover from the crash without being shut down manually. All I know is the problem is not with overheating (the fan runs perfectly and the computer doesn't always have time to warm up before it crashes) or the battery (it will crash regardless of whether or not the battery is attached).
I'd take it to be checked/repaired, but I suspect whatever the bill from that would be, it would exceed the laptop's actual value.
So I'm buying a desktop, and I'm reading up on processors and graphic cards to avoid a bad purhase. I won't be able to afford anythig too fancy, but I hope to be able to get a sturdy and reasonably efficient machine that will last me a couple of years and at last relieve me of Windows Vista (I learned to tolerate you, Vista, but I will never like you). Perhaps I can finally stop fretting about how well I'll be able to run Cataclysm when it comes out.

Akussa vika ei ole koska crash tulee oli akku kiinni tai ei. Myöskään ylikuumenemisesta ei ole kyse, koska tuuletin pyörii hyvin eikä kone yleensä ehdi edes lämmetä ennen kaatumista. Näitä kaatumisia tapahtuu kerran pari viikossa. Joinakin päivinä ei ole mitään ongelmaa.
