Well... To continue this trend of computers dying...
My laptop might be on its way out, I think the fan has stopped working.
I have another computer (my main, new one in fact) but I use the laptop for media (videos, general chatting etc) because it's not a power hog like my PC (the desktop PC uses a 750Watt pcu, the laptop's maximum draw is 140Watts! My I7 uses that on its own.)
So... We'll see. But I'm going to try and back everything up asap, hopefully before it goes into meltdown.
EDIT:
Update. Restarting got the fan going again. Hopefully I will have time before it dies completely. Thing is, I NEED 2 different computers. As a trainee teacher and eventually an actual teacher, I'll need a laptop for work related stuff. *sigh*
Another unexpected expenditure. Just what I needed.
