The fail, the incredible fail!

I was finally fed up with the laptop's special moments, so I started the job of reinstalling everything up just in case it was a software problem. When I was finally sure everything was backed up -and my USB disk was unplugged; never going through this again, thanks-, I deleted my three other partitions and added them up to the C: drive. That included the Ubuntu ones, since I'd rather reinstall it after it stopped recognizing the wifi after upgrading the distro anyway. I'm not in a hurry to have a Linux partition right now.

So I go with my Windows recovery CD. And in the middle of the fresh install...

...yup, laptop turned off again on its own.

I'll let the trash rest for one day or so, and will reattempt the install tomorrow, even though now I'm practically certain it must be a hardware issue. But you know, I can't leave my computer in blank with no operative system.

So anyway, if I disappear for a while, it's because the desktop isn't cooperating either. Sort of hiatus right here.

Adopt one today! Adopt one today!

It might be a problem with your motherboard. D:

Yeah, someone below you just confirmed me she had a motherboard issue that was pretty similar. Ugh D:

Uuuuuuugh, qué asco. ¿Y te la reemplazaron, te la arreglaron, o compraste otra?

La arreglaron... reemplazando la tarjeta madre, si no me equivoco.

No hice eso (los ruiditos no me dejan dormir así que la apago), pero durante varios meses pasaba como 12 horas diarias con la compu prendida. S-so. Gulp.

Sí, pero también hice backup porque la estoy reformateando e instalando todo de cero o/ igual debo tener bastante mierda encima.

Sorry to hear about your computer issues. :[ Hope everything gets worked out soon.

I owned a HP Pavilion few months ago, then one day it was loading windows when it suddenly shut down. I tried to turn it on again, but it was shutting down itself every time.

Tech support said it was a motherboard issue and it was necessary to replace it.

Believe me: consider getting a new laptop, laptop motherboards are REALLY expensive (or at least it was for me, the laptop costs me $7000 pesos and the motherboard was around US$300 and it was a second-hand one! Considering the equivalent in pesos , it could cost like the half of the price of the laptop) I guess the price depends on the laptop model.

I sold mine on pieces...
I hope yours works soon!
