Final day of my computer - Page 1

Final day of my computer

Today my main computer died, I cannot access it anymore. Whenever I turn it on, it just beeps and says that it cannot find a 'boot sector'.  :'(
I had it for 3 1/2 years, and I guess we overloaded it and now it's gone. This all may sound stupid, but considering all that I'm going through in real life now, it is really getting me depressed. For godsake, I've just lost World of Warcraft and many other things! I'm mourning over a computer, but I rely on technology too much now, WAY too much. Everything, and I mean pretty much everything I talk about is about technology, video games, media, Youtube, and all things on the internet.
I have to say thank god for my father's computer, but he has to use it for work and stuff.
I'm doomed, the stress will kill me! I will not be truly happy until we get a new desktop computer…
Hahaha, I am the biggest of nerds and probably the most dramatic one at that. >.>

Computers. I can't live without one. The only friends I have are online, and without a computer, I'm pretty much alone.

You don?t need a new computer, you just need a new hard drive. For that matter, you might try burning a Linux liveCD to see if you can access any data that may still be on the hard disk.

Very much same here. I have a few real life friends, but with WoW, these and other Forums, Youtube and Gmail I probably have over 20 friends, maybe even 40.

Pretty much the same here!
Anyway, yeah, burn a linux live CD and see if you can acess the files, if not, buy a new hardrive!
I know what it feels like, The computer I'm on would do the same thing, except nothing would show up on the moniter.
My dad had to replace the motherboard, and CPU.
