Hello all! Long time, no post! I wanted to get an update in here. I've been missing this.
Many who were following my blog know that I had been complaining of computer failures for awhile. My now husband, had been trying to figure out the problem, as it was messing with my school work, for a long while. Being an IT guy, he was getting extremely frustrated in not being able to locate the problem; diagnostic after diagnostic was fruitless. Finally, towards the end of the semester, he realized the problem and was amazed and ashamed at how easy a fix it was and that he didn't catch it sooner. My computer was not getting enough power!
I run MMAANNNYY different windows and programs at once because of the school work I am doing now and my computer couldn't handle the pressure! So as a result it would shut off, and I would sometimes lose work! It also would sometimes not auto-recover! Since he has found the problem and has put in a new power strip that allows for more power to be processed it hasn't had really any problems. I do forget to turn it off and will occasionally have to restart because it freezes up but no where near the issues I was seeing over the summer. SO YAY! and if you are having similar problems with yours, try the power source. It just may be the solution to your problem.
-For the love of learning-
