New PC...Not.

2 months ago, my motherboard just decided to die so I bought the lowest end MB I can find.

1 month ago, my graphic card died. I didn't replace it since my MB can provide what I wanted anyway. Which is... watch Funshion wtf.

2 weeks ago my DVD ROM stopped working. Meh -_-. That's fine. I bought an external DVD drive.

Yesterday I came home to a non working desktop! It couldn't power up. So I unplugged the DVD-ROM. Still not working. Took out both the RAM cleaned it and plugged it back. Miraculously it powered up and booted into Windows. But none of the USB ports work. After uninstall everything and reinstall the drivers, most of the USB port work but the same USB port that works for keyboard and mouse could not detect the external HDD. Tried to plug the external HDD into another PC and no problem found. Uninstalled that particular USB port, restarted PC, scanned for hardware changes, reinstall hardware driver, and I can detect the external HDD. I quickly backup all my data in the computer. Right after everything is done, I unplugged the HDD, plug it back, and it couldn't be detected again (until I repeat the whole uninstall driver and reboot and reinstall crap). But that's fine. Since I already backup my data.



Today I came home to a non working USB wireless adapter. Bloody hell. I can stand a non working external HDD but if I can't get online to do my work then it's a big no no! I repeated the whole USB driver crap but nothing works. Rebooted after reinstalling everything. Nothing works. Tried the USB wireless adapter on another PC. Doesn't work. Bugger. Then I downloaded the driver for the adapter that doesn't work for WinXP but I tried it anyway and it works??!! Kanasai betul.

Now I can get online and use my mouse and keyboard. But external HDD still cant be detected until I do the uninstall reinstall yada yada yada.

I'm not the type of person that goes out and buy things even though I already know what I want, at least not until I asked 23482347255625 people about that thing and then still end up thinking whether I should buy it after asking the 23482347255625th person. 90% of the time I end up not buying =(

Dear PC, I know you're 6 years old and has been used extensively for 13 hours daily 7 days a week but please, you know I'm not that techie geek that know how to debug you so please, please stop giving me anymore trouble at least until I get another laptop to replace you ok? Next year ok?

i think problem still lies with your mobo le... usb port not working properly should be kena burn liao i guess if u plug too many devices and use unpowered usb hub...

Ask dad for my laptop. He is not using it anyways
