My Computer is Dead
My computer has kicked the bucket. Thrown off this mortal coil. Rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. Bought the disk farm. Playing harp duets with Hoffa. Bought a ticket to the boneyard. D-E-A-D, is what I am saying.
Obviously, not the computer I am using, which is in my office. But, the computer in my home, it is gone, baby, gone.
I am deeply disturbed about this on a few levels.
A. Quicken is holding all the info about my checking and savings and mortgage accounts for the PAST THREE YEARS. And of course I have not backed it up in about 6 months. (WHY???????)
B. All of our family pictures for the last three years.
C. Our Christmas card mailing list with everyone's updated addresses and such.
D. Something like a Virgin Mega Store worth of music
Gone. All gone.
I'm going to see if a computer fix-it type guy can save any of the data, but, honestly, I. AM. NOT. HOPEFUL.
It started singing (the computer. Not with words. Perhaps humming would be a better description). And then it froze up. And then it stopped talking to the monitor. And now it won't even turn on.
Ugh.

That really stinks! I hope you are able to revive the old thing long enough to get some info out of it.
Don't panic. A good computer person can absolutely get your info off the hard drive - even if it's a little corrupted. Our computer died last year and B~ got almost everything off it, but it took some time/effort because the hard drive was pretty messed up. But in the end we got everything we needed from it.
it should not be a probolem to get your info from the hard drive. stone computers at westgate did it for me!
If it won't even turn out, it sounds like your power supply. I highly doubt it is your harddrive, in which case they will be able to replace what is broken and you can go back to business as usual. XXcross fingersXX
That happened to us and it was our power supply...possbibly damaged by lightening. If you do get it fixed, make sure you back up everything. After the power supply was bad (and then fixed), other hardware started not working.
