Spring Clean!?

Mid morning we were faced by the dreaded Blue Screen, and a computer refusing to boot up properly

Was it

• The Power supply?



• The Hard Disk?



• Memory?
  


• Anything else???
  

Power seemed OK, so the Ultimate Boot CD was employed. Even this caused problems so we looked at the processer, which seemed by now hot enough to cook lunch which was fast approaching. On removing the cooling fan for the processor, this is what we found and then did.

After

Back again after Half Term

Very busy today. Saw Margaret who we met two weeks ago with the very nice Mac in the Doctors surgery - very happy with the computer, but still needs to connect to the internet.
Left that surgery with my medication to go to the PC surgery.

When I arrived, found Steve hard at work on a computer which had no power, but Colin seemed to be the one really lumbered with the job of sorting out the connections but he was not the one caught on camera - or at least my phone!

Dai was taught how to Install Dreamweaver on computers in Ammanford from the comfort of his seat in Glynneath. This really was interesting, and had saved Nicky a long trip as well as saving the class in Ammanford.

Busy time today once again, Margaret wanted to set up her new Mac - Very nice! but to us a learning curve as it was the first time to try out a Mac - could possibly be converted.

Colin was kept busy installing a PCI USB2 card which really helped the transfer of data. The customers left feeling happy, and we could have a well deserved cup of coffee, as Boss Mike had to go off to college early.

In The Dove

Very busy day at the dove to-day, having a plant sale,which is taking alot of hard work by the staff. preparing and setting out the plant`s

Dental Problems

Sorry there were no comments about the surgery last Friday, as my gum infection now seems to have developed into an abscess, so I had to make rather a rushed visit to the dentist in Neath!!

After another week of antibiotics, this seems to be clearing (I hope!!!)

Thanks

Thank you for your very nice comments about us Debbie!

Further Problems

Dai had a difficult job sorting out the sound and video and needed
to download up to date drivers for the graphics card. At least we had a chance to have a cup of coffee kindly supplied by Steve.
None of the downloaded drivers worked, so we suspected problems in the hard disc. New drivers caused the dreaded BLUE SCREEN. HELP!!! Checkdisc was run to try to improve matters, and problem left with Nicky.

This is getting boring, and Nicky is getting hungry!!
