I told him to do that as the athlon 2400+ isn't mine.
A friend dropped it and another computer off for repair.
The first was an athlon 1300 iirc that had a bad hdd.Since it had 2, I just formatted the back up drive (was empty) and added windows to it.
The second was a "take your time, there is no rush" RUSH Job. I got called 3 times in 2 days (the first day they were happy to get the other one back, calls began on the second day). I finally turned off the phone, LOL.
It took me 3.5 days to figure out what was causing the freezes.
It also has 2 (out of 4, I informed him as well) bad usb ports, So I taped those 2 off as well.
Keep in mind this is the same kind folks that blamed me for the sound not working (I gave them the benifit of the doubt and drove over to their house 30 miles away) When I got there he had the speakers plugged into the system, but never knew it also had to be plugged into the wall socket. *SIGH*
He did apologize when he called me about these repairs though.😛
I had quit doing things for them a while back, after he argued about how to install the software for the cdrw's I had installed (it was already installed, he deleted the drivers as well as a bunch of the system 32 drivers trying to "get it to work". I reinstalled windows and drivers 4 times in one week before I told him he would have to take it somewhere else, since he wouldn;t quit deleting the same files.
it was a nice quiet time for the 2 years he didn't call lol
I would install fad on it but I am afraid that would be disasterous.
As it is windows hits the pagefile everytime you load anything more than spider solitaire.
Another Holiday chore done 😛
Before you go saying that its too much to put up with (got that from the wife) understand its all about the tinkering 😛
