Update: Probably going to be offline throughout the weekend, while I sort my PC out. I'm going to load up a linux distro from CD to see if it's actually a windows fuck up. Hopefully that's all it is, and I can retrieve most of my data, and then simply format the box and start a fresh.

Nope. I’ve already posted about my little problems with my computer last week. Unfortunately my salvation job of the hardrive hasn’t worked, and this morning, my computer wasn’t working.

This morning I go to boot it up check mails etc, and bam, nothing. It loads up the windows xp image goes to load windows, and then blue screen for a second and then restarts.

Recovery mode doesn’t want to play ball either.

Does this sound like a software or hardware problem? It does check the hardware apparently, and I do get to the actual xp screen, just doesn’t seem to want to load anything else. (I’ve got my stuff backed up, except for the project I was working on this week) which is why I’m not freaking out, but still, I’d rather not try and format the harddisc…or maybe I don’t have a choice.

See I REALLY don’t give a monkey’s what’s in my box. I could care less, really. All I care about is reliability, stability and performance. I never want to contact the manufacturer for support because it’s a bad scenario. You don’t want to be dealing with this, therefore you’re a bit tetchy. They don’t want to be dealing with irate customers on the other line, so they’re less than helpful most times.

What annoys me even more is the fact that I know getting through to Mesh Computers Technical support (computer is still under warranty) is going to be like getting an interview with god.

Luckily I’ve saved all my files, except for BKV4. Really annoying as I was completely in the zone there. I was around 70% there, and was planning on going live this weekend. The code was the cleanest I’ve ever done, I actually understood what I was doing with it all, and all for nothing. Fucks sake.
