Computery stuff
<h5>A few weeks ago, I told you I was thinking of getting a new computer. I'm close now.</h5>

It's hard to get me to spend a lot of money on something. Especially if it is not a real necessity. My computer still kind of works, so it's hard to part with cash for a new one. It has been acting up again though.

It started with the same problems I had, before I reinstalled Windows. Several times. Random black screens for a few seconds, where the video card driver crashed. Random restarts.

Yesterday was another one of those random restarts. The difference now was that, instead of simply rebooting, I got a single beep and that was it.

*Great!*

So my boyfriend looked it up online and then decided the memory needed to be reseated. Not a problem, we both know the insides of a computer. Except that my processor's fan was kind of in the way and we didn't know how to get it off (I did not build the pc myself).

*Very high quality picture of my boyfriend fixing my pc.*

Eventually, my boyfriend managed to reseat the memory without removing the fan. I turned on the pc and it booted! Everything seemed fine, until I got a bluescreen. Something about ntfs.

*Hmm, HDD trouble now huh?*

Today has gone alright so far, but I don't trust it anymore. I'm waiting until the 1st of june for a new *Best Buy* guide from the Dutch site [Tweakers.net](https://tweakers.net/) and then I'll try to figure out what to put in my new pc. I will probably ask the Steemit community to double check my picks, because I don't know enough about that stuff anymore.

It would be nice to have a pc I can trust again. Install every application I want on it, without the fear of breaking the damn thing. I've had this one for about six years, so I guess it's time!

*Keep you posted!*

Yeah, I just have to remind myself that I use it every day and that it is worth the money :-)

Could also just be bad RAM, not just static electricity in it which would have been cleared by reseating it. Run a memtest.

Thanks for the advice! :-)
I've done quite a few tests, but with the bluescreen after reseating the ram, I'm not so sure it's just that anymore. I also figured, after six years, there's quite a good chance other stuff will break down soon.
