Drama.
With my computer, that is.
The good news: I know what is wrong with my scanner. It needs a new power supply. Unfortunately, I can only find one online and it'll cost me $20. For the time being,
skatewabbit has loaned me one that is the right voltage (12V), but less amperage than the original(750mA, rather than 1.25A).
The bad news: while I was at it, "I" installed USB 2 ports on the back of my computer so my new 500Gb external hard drive can fuction better. Well, apparently doing so crashed my system. Like, system failure crashing it. For 4 hours last night, I tried re-booting my system, only to receive the same damn error over and over and over again. And it wouldn't let me boot into Safe Mode, either. I unplugged EVERYTHING from the computer except the monitor, keyboard and mouse.
My frustration level was so high that I just turned it off and went to bed.
When I woke up this morning, it worked.
My system booted perfectly with no errors or delays.
WTF? O_o;
