Did you do anything to it? Has it overheated before? Did you download some shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit?

Nyerp · June 06, 2011, 08:16:39 PM

maybe, like once because of a hot car, and tons of shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit but nothing recently

Nyerp · June 08, 2011, 01:28:32 PM

Reinstall OS

Nyerp · June 08, 2011, 01:32:40 PM

how and will that affect my filez

if there are truly no other options, you'll lose all of your files upon reinstalling your os

have you made a recent backup of your data

Nyerp · June 08, 2011, 01:37:39 PM

ok then fuck that

silvertone · June 08, 2011, 01:38:43 PM

Can't you put your files on a external HDD?

applesauce · June 08, 2011, 01:41:58 PM

Yeah what he said. Can you get into safe mode and get the stuff you really need off of it?

The reformat everything and start over.

Nyerp · June 08, 2011, 01:45:09 PM

that seems like a last resort to me

surely there is something less drastic i can do
