I crashed while running a game, now I have dollar signs all over my screen when ever I boot up, and my PC refuses to recognise the existence of the graphics card. As a student, I can't really afford the 130 pounds to replace it with a decent model, but I feel I have to replace it because the card could break entirely and spill goo all over my mobo, and I need my PC for work.

Now the question is that is it bad that I seriously can't live without a PC for any amount of time, I've always seen it as one of the many forms of boon in everyday life, for some its a blackberry, for me its my PC.

So is it sad that I can't live without my PC? Should I try to diversify and read one of those crazy book things? Any suggestions for the 24 hours between now and the delivery of my new card?

I've spent all day trying to remove this bullshit 'XP Antispyware 2010' virus I somehow picked up. Ran many different scans and now finally got it fixed

I watched TV while I was waiting for these things to run, books are pretty good too...

Those things are so annoying. Last month I accidentally clicked an ad on a normal site and ten minutes later I had that exact same virus. It didn't take more than a couple hours but still so annoying.

Well, apparently you have access to a PC since you've written this whine blog. Problem solved.

I got that same litte booger. Spybot/MalwareBytes fixed it right up in about 30 minutes though.

I'm currently running on something I'm not sure what that its.

I've kinda figured out that it is less the fact that I can't doing almost anything I can do with my PC that I can do normally, but more the fact its just broken, since I spent about 4 hours trying to fix it, despite not having any computer related plans outside watching day9 later.
I ended up going to the gym and reading, before having a early night which ended up me being woken up by the guys above me being loud.

I should get my new card by Thursday lunch time, so more like 48 hours, so I can go back to my normal, dull self.
