A little over a week ago, my computer crashed. I was able to turn my computer on, but after it VERY slowly loaded up, I was only able to do a few small things. I was not able to do anything in Windows, which included shutting the computer down properly, check my email, etc. I ran a diagnostic test on it which indicated I had an issue with my hard drive failing. I called Dell, told them the code I received from doing the diagnostic test and they just confirmed my address and sent me a new hard drive with no questions (guess they thought I knew what I was talking about, ha ha!). Ray and I decided that I would just increase my hard drive space and buy a new hard drive at Comp USA, and use the one Dell sent me as my external hard drive instead. After getting my new hard drive, format it, reinstall Windows, load up all my drivers, figure out why my wireless card was not enabled and fix it, figure out why my sound wasn't working and fix that, then I had to transfer the data from my old hard drive to my new one by plugging it into my computer as an external drive and I also upgraded the size of my RAM. Phew! It was exhausting. But I did it. I almost threw my computer out the window a few times, but its done and its working and I'm glad its finally over. Hopefully I won't have to do this again for a LONG time. :)
