Ok this is an interesting story.
I had a custom computer built a little whiles back.
It worked fine for a year and then something went wrong, i took it back to the creator and he said that it was overheating, he replaced the heatsink on the cpu and put anew fan on my video card.
I get it back and it starts freezing up after 3 hours. Eventually it goes to a blue screen that says hardware or software failure and windows never boots, just continues to loop from the blue screen to windows bootup.
I bring it to another technician, he says it was an illegitimate copy of windows replaces it and installs a bunch of new drivers.. charges me 256.00 .
Which is well worth it if the computer continued to work, however, after a good 5 days of using my computer it begins to freeze up again.
All that i downloaded was bittorrent and two cd's from a private site, firefox, mixcraft( a free trial from download.com) and aim.
He fixed it he says by installing S&D and removing 30 counts of spyware and offers that was the reason it was freezing. He charged me 90 to remove the counts and reinstall "corrupted drivers".
Does it sound like hes bs'ing me? The same problem has happened and he says it does not fall under his warranty since i dloaded the problem. But the same screen occurred even after he fixed it.
Thank you for your time i understand it was a lenghty read.
