Kit! Damn you!
Kit! Did you happen to pass through the New York area last night?
My laptop is dead :(
I had sent it in last week because the CPU fan was being real noisy. I got it back, and it was better. No noise, and they even replaced the plastics and such, so it looked brand new (but the HDD data was still thee, so it was cool).
Last night however it started locking up while I was playing WoW. First it happened after doing 2 bosses in Hyjal, the computer had been online for a while then, so it was something that happened right at that point.
So I rebooted, and it let me get back into the game, and get ready to go, and locked up again. Ugh. So another reboot, and this time it locks up again when I am getting ready to tackle the 3rd boss. So finally I said 'fuck it' and played on my desktop.
Later on I tried to go from my laptop again, and it locked up during the logon screen of wow, so didn't even let me enter the world. After that, it refused to even turn on properly. I started getting no display, and sometimes beep errors (one long followed by two short - which according to the intarwebs, means it is the system board, video card or something like that having problems).
After leaving it off for a while, I got it to power on again, but I could only get to login and maybe try to connect to the network before it locked up again, and then subsequently would go back to not booting. So I called tech support (it IS still under warranty until '09) and they're sending me a box that I can ship my laptop back for repair in.
It really sucks, its only now I realise how much I've come to rely on my laptop.
