I hate computers
I got home from work at 2:30AM and I wanted to check my blog, so I get on and my screen all the sudden turns off. Now, I have had screen troubles, network troubles, etc. with this computer recently, but usually rebooting it works. But this time it didn't. I did everything I knew how, I cleared CMOS, put the windows disk in, and even stuck a new video card that I knew worked in there and nothing happened. I think that my motherboard has died, but any other ideas.I really don't want to go through all the junk of a new motherboard if I don't have to.
