362 days
On Friday while I was feeding Jen's pet I decided to check my email by using an ethernet cord and their modem, as our power was still out. When I finished I shut down my computer
Later that day our power came back on, and when I started booting my laptop up again, it booted partway and then stopped. I just hung there, doing seemingly nothing.
I tried everything, another hard drive, a linux live cd, a live cd on a hard drive, different recovery modes, windows, the whole lot of it.
Every single one of them froze somewhere while booting.
Ever. Single. One.
When the same things worked with other computers.
It's a little sad, but it seems that 362 days after my previous computer's motherboard fried, I fried something on the motherboard of my new one.
I'm an abusive owner
They were nearly identical models, but this one was slightly faster (it was still about four years old, so oh well).
I think that -once again- the hard drive is fine, but it's still more than a little annoying that it just upped and died right now. I say right now because I am planning on getting a new computer sometime this summer, I just don't know quite when yet, as I am suspicious that the company is coming out with a new model imminently sometime in the next month or so.
It's a pity, but oh well, I can survive off of the unused (albeit, rather old) desktop at our house until I do get a new one.
It's just hilarious that I killed this one 362 days after the last one died. I'm pretty exact with frying motherboards it seems.
