Does toyota make computers?
Oct. 8th, 2009 09:10 pmA long ramble about my computer woes:
Well my computer has been acting up with a few blue screens. I did a disk scan that supposedly fixed a bunch of things. I tried to do a system restore to before I installed speedy fox* (which was the last program I installed) but it wouldn't work. Then I tried to defragment and got a blue screen. Also now firefox won't keep me logged in to anything so every time I open it I have to sign in to everything. So then I tried to delete all of my cache and I found out that I had to do some thing else to get rid of my temp files (I thought I had been doing this but I wasn't). Then I booted up in safe mode and tried to defragment again only to get a blue screen after a few moments. I tried to delete a few of the bigger files and tried again. Again I get a blue screen. So I call a friend of my dad who fixes computers for a living. He said it might be because of something plugged in to the usb ports but nothing was connected most of the times it screwed up so it might be google chrome. After uninstalling chrome I figure everything will be ok right? Wrong! About a half hour latter another blue screen of doom. I'm going to try calling him again tomorrow and see if he can help again.
I know there might be a way to fix it if I had a windows XP disk but I don't have one. Whenever the blue screen comes up it sometimes says something about a kernel_stack_inpage_error and atapi.sys. I have no idea what the hell any of that means.
Does anyone know if Ubuntu is any good? Since windows seems messed up I might like to try something else but I don't know if all of the stuff I have would work with it.
*My computer wasn't acting right before I put it on but it got a lot worse afterward. I deleted what I could find of it so I'm pretty sure it's gone.
