Computer Malfunction

17:28.52 - Friday 12th October 2007   (Link to This Entry)

I've been having problems with my D: drive disappearing momentarily at random intervals, and since that's the drive with all my work on, I decided to replace it with a bigger drive before it died completely.

The replacement arrived today and turned out to be a slimmer version than expected. While the machine was open I took the opportunity to pad a couple of the fans with paper to stop them rattling in their cages, cutting my thumb on my small but very sharp pocket knife in the process.

The new drive installed and formatted without problems, and my backup (yes, I've learned my lesson!) restored. This is the bit where I find it was the mainboard on it's way out and not the drive.

I finally got to use both 2007FP monitors as well - they're pretty damned good.
