  • Desktop Crashed

    After gettng home from vacation yesterday went to bring up desktop PC and it crashed. Had video driver problem which I at first thought would be easy to fix but unit keeps crashing with blue screen of death whenever I boot, can only get in to windows thru secure mode. I worked on it myself for a while then called Dell support and worked with one of their techs for about 2 1/2 hours but no go. Final determination was that I will have to re-install windows. I opted to not do that last nite as I have a lot of backing up to do first (I have not been very good of late with my data backup, and I have a lot of photo files as well as other stuff that I need to make sure I have secured) Spending some time today and tomorrow backing stuff up to DVD;s and then will do the Windows re-install in a couple of days.
    Luckly I have a laptop to still use or I would be having the withdrawals/.
    Will probably not be posting to much for the next couple of days as I have to
    work on this.
    Haven't done many searches in a couple of weeks now so will have to fit some of them in just so I don't forget the process (LOL)

    Good Luck and Godspeed Ken.

    Last time, Sasser, I ended up dumping everything and starting from scratch on my PC. Lesson learned.

    Thanks for the reminder to back up to a restart point, but sorry for your pain.

    I bet you really wanted to be doing this on Memorial Day weekend.

      If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

      BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.
