Man I had a heck of a Time with my computer yesterday...I really hope that it's (mostly) fixed now

I've been dealing with fairly frequent BSODs and was finally like "you know I should ask about these"

so I messaged the guy who built my computer, said "okay yeah let's take steps to fix that for sure" and the first suggestion was to try reseating the RAM sticks

which turned out to be really intimidating and freaky for me and I like...messed it up twice 8(

the first time I didn't press them in hard enough so the computer didn't register them or come on, and the second time I put them in the wrong slots so the computer booted in safe mode and complained about that

and in the middle of that my tablet wouldn't come on, so I had to update the driver

and I think I finally got everything working?? Hopefully?? (I also cleaned out the inside of my computer because good grief it was horribly dusty and yucky)

although now when I use Photoshop, sometimes this weird thing happens where like...I'm unable to use actual drawing tools suddenly??

like it registers me moving my pen across the screen and clicking things, but I can't actually use any PS tools

closing the file and then opening it again will immediately solve the problem. It's baffling.

but yeah uh! Computers stressful!!!

now I guess I also need to see if it BSOD's again...

oh windows corrupted an update for me yesterday so i had to use the command prompt to order a full disc scan/repair to fix it

yeah!! windows yeah!!

that isn't even including last week where the whole OS corrupted and i had to back up everything and reinstall it from top to bottom, that was neato

aaaHHHHHH terror!!!!! Horrors!!!!

i think it might be time to start replacing parts in this ol pc but this seems like consistent windows being stupidshit

I guess depending on how long you've had it, it would be time, but that's still a huge pain

7 years, goin on 8 so it's getting up there!

oooh yeah
