My Laptop is Broken

My laptop is broken so I may not be online as much as usual because I have to use my hubby’s laptop while he is at work. I have a Toshiba laptop and for the last 2 1/2 months it has been shutting off on me randomly without any warning what so ever. I thought it was overheating, but when I was using it just yesterday, I had my laptop sitting on the window sill which is cool because it is cold out and my laptop shut off on me again. I had already called Toshiba several times beforehand and today I had to call them a total of 4 times.

My laptop wouldn’t do a System Restore or a System Recovery. After speaking to the tech the second to last time she advised me to do a System Recovery and I had her walk me through it. When I got off the phone with her my laptop was in the process of doing it until I checked on it a few minutes later and saw an error message on the screen. I then called Toshiba again and I was told it was something to do with the hardware and my computer needed to be sent in for repair – DUH! Thank God, my warranty doesn’t expire until February, but it really sucks that my computer is acting like that and I haven’t had it for a year. I’ve already made plans to purchase a desktop once February hits. To make matters worse I tried to restart my computer and my computer now fails to start. Instead I get this message

BOOTMGR Missing

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to Restart

When I did that my computer failed to load Windows and would go back to a black screen displaying that message again. Now I can’t even use my computer at all. This really sucks because I just started a new project called: Mermaidiaries.com.

I decided to create a SecondLife role play saga in my spare time and my hubby and I already played out the prologue just the other night. If you’re interested in reading it visit my newest addition to the network: Mermaidiaries.com.

Last, but not least, if you noticed my site was down earlier, it was because I asked Hostgator to switch eternally-me.com to my primary domain name. I still have over 200 days left for Sweetvanillasugar.com, but I plan on letting that domain expire and moving our wedding website to a sub-domain under eternally-me.com.

    Wow. That’s insane. I have had my Toshiba since July and at one point the laptop batter would not charge. Now it does. But the battery doesn’t even last an hour, which is insane. That’s the only issue I have. Not to mention, for some reason, my windows media player is missing a lot of codecs and I have to keep downloading them from various sites to get things working. I’m considering moving my domain over to another one of my domains as well. I love my website, but it’s time for a change and I also have people lurking my site that I’d rather not have lurking.

      It seems like I really have bad luck with computers. I’m planning on getting a Dell brand desktop next time around. Hopefully I’ll have better luck. ;)
