More Computer Woes...

...and this time, I don't think they'll be able to fix it. :-( 

I was finishing up some the next chapter of my Chlollie fic Sacred Words when I got Blue-Screened.  I tried to reboot, but all I got was a black screen with a 'try to reseat your memory' message on it.  Nothing else.  I'm gutted! :-( 

Heading to PC world as soon as my mum can come sit with the kids to see if it's something they can repair, but I really think it's time I invested in a new computer.  This blows hard!!! *growls* 

Very lucky I backed up all my work on Friday.  I did lose a bit of data; some editing on my Big Bang fic Agenda (sob!), half of Indelible, a chlarky oneshot chapter I was hoping to complete yesterday for apeygirl's birthday (Happy Birthday, April!!!), and a section of Sacred Words.  But all in all, it's not a teeth-gnashing amount of work. :-) 

Fingers crossed for some sort of resolution soon. I can poach hubby's laptop from time to time, but I hate his keyboard.  Al the principal keys I make use of for writing are in the wrong place, like the quote marks and other punctuation.  It drives me mad!!! *growls* 


I'll let you know how the trip to the PC-Doctor goes.  Wish me luck!!! 


PS: Is LJ playing sillybuggers with anyone else?!?  Half my formatting - and text - keeps disappearing!!! :-O 

ETA: 8pm - They fixed it!!! :)

It was the RAM memory that was leaking (?) There were some funky greenish stains on it. Cost me £30 for a new Memory Board plus £25 for the service to replace 2GB of the 3GB of the memory (the 1GB card was fine), and the old girl *seems* to be working as good as new. But then, it always works when you're still in the shop...:) 

I've had it on for about an hour now, and all seems to be fine.  But Hubby said if I get Blue-Screened again, I should just get a new computer. Makes sense, since I've spent a total of £140 on repairs from the last time, and a new one costs from £300. 

Suffice it to say I've had it up to my armpits with Dell, and will be going for a different brand when the time comes to put this baby out to pasture. :-) 

Thanks for all the hugs, people!!!

Disclaimer: Story order subject to change. Priority updates for Crisis by popular demand, though I may pepper you with the occasional oneshot or two if the Muses so decide. Beauty in the Breakdown seems to be clawing its way out of me by force, so you may see more of that soon. ;-)

Will try and work on my WIPs, but focus will be on my Big Bang fic until the beginning of December.  The good news is that by the time I’m done, you’ll have a spanking brand-new Chlark fic to ease the pain of waiting. ;-)

Once Gravity and Agenda are done and dusted I’ll be embarking on my first ever Chlex venture. *bites nails*  kitmerlot1213 has been so sweet and patient waiting for this fic, and I hope she likes what I come up with!  And of course, there’s lots more Chlollie on the horizon, as well. ;-)

As always, I plead for patience and thank you for your understanding. :-)
