It's a long story.

So, my brother and nephew were here this weekend. And on Sunday, before they left, my dad was about to give them some stuff. We had this computer tower in there for a couple of years when it wasn't working. I took it into my room, did a factory reset and everything seemed fine. So I kept it, and gave my old one to my brother so he could take it back and have it there for his kids.

Turns out that, the factory reset that I did didn't help AT ALL. It worked fine for about 2 hours maybe, without a single issue and then all the crap happened. Internet Explorer would crash and reboot (which I never used besides once to download chrome) constantly. So I had to reboot the computer. It worked fine until I decided to play Minecraft. Joined a friends server and I fell for like 5 minutes before finally landing and the game being nearly pitch black (and it wasn't like that when I went into my own world). I shut it off, went to do some other things, and got some random error about something being blocked by a firewall (which was nothing). Clicked something to let it pass (this was during trying to play Minecraft again) and I got the blue screen of death.

So, from there, I spent another 3 hours trying to get it to work. Trying to factory reset, trying to figure out exactly what was causing this issue. Everytime I would reset, it would freeze. I still don't know the exact cause of the issue, and I'm thinking it might be hard drive related.

So, now I spent my time on my dads computer downstairs. On it about twice a day, with the longest time being during the afternoon. Which during that time, I'm mainly playing Minecraft anyways.


TL;DR, my "new" computer is dead. My old computer is at my brothers and I'm stuck using my dads until my brother ships me back my old computer. Which I have no idea how long that will be.
