I know this sounds silly but
My computer recently broke. (AMD K6-2 550 mhz, 184 SD-RAM, 10 gig HDD, CD burner, Floppy drive, Modem, 4 months ago upgraded to XP from 98) Now i am being hassled by my family on why it broke. I thought it was not such a big deal that it broke because it was old so it gave me a reason to upgrade but it ran reliably. What happened is that i booted it up, soon after a odd jumbled up picture came up on the screen, the picture did not show anything odd or anything related to windows. Then it shut down and refuesed to start up again. I tried different monitors and different video cards i had around but still no response. My family (who arnt very computer literate) think because i was running XP it broke because i pushed it too hard but it easily met microsofts requirements for XP. A power surge is possible but they have never happened before to us, also monitor, printer, modem which is hooked up to the same outlet still work. A week before it broke i ripped a lot of cd's to the hard drive. However i dont think any of these are the reasons it broke. Also i bought this computer in 01' and i know it was build in 00'.
If anyone knows about why my computer broke my family would be happy to know why.
Thanks
Wayne
