Computer Woes
By Madhur Kapoor on Aug 5, 2007 in Personal
Life without computers can sure be tough even if were for a day or two . Unfortunately i discovered it the hard way . Two days ago , while i was watching a movie on my computer , there was a sudden voltage fluctuation and my computer simply turned off .
After that, when i tried to switch it back on, it refused to do so . Then i realized my SMPS was probably screwed . To my horror , my UPS also got screwed . So two bad things in one night for me . The nearest place i could get all these stuff was Shimla which was around 25 Km from my college .I couldnt leave my college for 2 days due to classes and stuff . Luckily , yesterday most of my classes was off, and so i was finally able to purchase all those things . All these expenditure reduced my pocket by Rs 2500 but finally it was good to see my computer back on again .
Ouch! String of bad lucks.. hopefully everything is ok now. Welcome back to the blogospehere..

Hey man, get a laptop. I guess you can buy from your blog earnings itself. No power issues n no tension.

Dude, I simply think you should have had a better UPS or else the fluctuation was really over the wall.. Otherwise the UPS wouldn’t burn out.. What was the earlier one you had, Bhai?

Computers are like babies. We have to take special care of them cause at times they can be delicate to how we treat them. I always have to save my files to my hammer (external hard drive) and clean out and reinstall. Just to play it safe with these hackers and viruses we can catch. Good to see everything worked out.

Even I screwed up my motherboard, and I am yet to get a new motherboard.
That is the reason I was not blogging.

Oh yeah, life without PC sucks heavily. I discovered that when I was out of electricity due to repairs
