I am No PC Tech

Well I Guess I am no PC Techie

I diagnosed my wife's computer as having a bad hard drive, so we bought a new one. I cloned the drive using Acronis Migrate Easy 7.0

http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing...s/migrateeasy/

I used the 15 day trial version and it rocks. It copied the entire drive to a new drive with no problems, os and everything!!
So I booted up her system after cloning the drive, only to have the same loud noise!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrr
I looked at the guts which is what I should have done in the first place instead of assuming and found the processor fan was moving very slow. Ofcourse that is why the system was shutting down. Heat build-up. So back to MPC to get a 18 dollar fan. All fixed she says geeeze so we did not need to buy that 65 dollar hard drive !!
:cry:

I said true but you now have 4 times the space :lol:

Hard drives break down sooner or later anyway, so you can feel confident now that you won't (shouldn't) have a crash for a while.

I just realized that it would be great to have a forum for computer talk. And people that have problems or just questions could post them and someone that can answer or give advice could do so......
we had that on another forum and people used it all the time...of course I usually could not follow what they were talking about but there were times that I felt like I learned something by reading the conversations....

I asked Smart Kid as I started reading your post and he right away said fan...then I read you figured out it was the fan. Smart kid is awesome at fixing computers and writing programs. He's even built a few computers from scratch. Did you already buy a fan? He said he has one here if you want it.

Yes I bought a fan. When I look back at how I handled the issue, I broke every rule in diagnostics book. It is a good think the unit was plugged in because that is the classic mistake, tear the whole computer apart trying to figure out why it it not boot-up only to find when it is completely apart that it was NOT PLUGGED IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should have opened up the unit but I made asumtions and you know what that means.
I guess the fan was the last thing I ever thought would break.
Now if someone can tell me why my usb drivers go wacky with my external hard drive,I'd be a happy boy!!!!
and beleive or not I have built 3 computers myself.

Do what? HUH? LOL all French to me. I'll show him your post when he gets home. He will know what you are asking.
I call him Smart Kid cuz he was a teachers assistant the last 2 years of high school and he was teaching the teacher things. Then the beginning of this school season the teacher called here looking for Smart Kid to come to school and fix the computers......do you think I can convince him to get a real job doing this stuff. No ~ he's in love and is enjoying working with his hunny.

what's worse is when you read something and start laughing and the dogs all look at you like you suddenly went crazy! Or worse it's in the middle of the night and everyone is sleeping and you can't laugh out loud! lol That's the worse. :lol: :lol:
