time
i first put my pc together 5 years ago. since then i've upgraded the gpu twice. and added a big data drive. and added more memory. it's been a pretty good computer for a long time. but it's been acting up lately. i've been using centos dual boot with windows 7 for about a year. with really very few issues. but last week no more centos. no idea why. it just wouldn't boot. the centos install disk didn't boot up either. nor did the centos live disk. we use ubuntu at work. the try-ubuntu feature sometimes comes up. sometimes not. it's really very frustrating. i can usually install ubuntu. i bought a nice new ssd. it has the exact same issues as the mechanical hard drive before it had. windows had issues one boot. and was fine the next. that's when i finally gave up and ordered a new motherboard and cpu. am sticking with amd. not because i really love amd or anything. but because the same computes from intel cost twice as much. which just seems really weird. i feel like i have a terminally ill friend. the new parts will be here in a week. more posts then.
