I might as well ask you one last question here and get it over with. Where do I go from here? Do I contact someone or is this something I can fix on my own with a little research (and tome & effort haha)? Or is it something that I'll be spending money on and in the end won't really be fixable, so i'd be better off getting a new computer ?
