Hear, hear: Man saves PC from certain doom (mainly from beeing thrown out of my second strory window)

Well, it just keeps going and going and going or shall we say it isn't going!
My Computer decided to hand in the towel, take early retirement , kick of his boots...
All I wanted to do was install Empire Earth.
He decided to crash and then he wouldn't even boot into the BIOS.
So I called for help and my knight in shining armor (my PC repair guy) came and slaughtered the dragon which was keeping my poor Computer prisoner.
He worked on the thing for two hours. I sat there and watched helplessly as he was taking the thing apart and put it back together. I made the occasional cup of coffee, (for the repair guy of course, not for the PC. I already know from experience that the keyboard hates coffee so I wasn't about to give any to the PC) and finally at almost 10 o'clock he was up and running again (the PC, not the repair guy).
It is only a temporary measure though as we still have to go on a fact finding mission (or rather a fault finding mission) to see what actually caused the problems. That won't be until the end of this week or the beginning of next so you will have to wait for this Saga to continue.
Until then or probably sooner, as I am supposed to be getting my car back today...
