Another few days of updates in one

Hey guys!!!

Currently in school now. Firstly, let me apologize for not updating the past few days. Just that recently I've been busy with my computer and very tired... Anyway, my new computer is up and running with all the parts inside except for the 2GB RAM which will be explained in a bit and another Seagate 250GB hard disk, but it currently has my old Hitachi in its place which I'd probably leave it there. Lets start with Monday.

Monday:
Woke up and went to school as usual, nothing much happened. After school, took a bus to Funan to buy my 2 hard disk, ended up with a 500GB Samsung(Not sure if its good, but can't be worse than Western Digital) and a 250GB Seagate. So I stayed at the shop and chat with the auntie before going home. Got home, installed and boot up, failed again... Tried and tried until I was tired and went to sleep.

Tuesday:
Woke up and went to school. Nothing much happened. After school went home, showered, turn on air con and started taking parts to troubleshoot my new comp and after a long time, I called the auntie and brought down my computer, taking a cab since my new computer is the heaviest computer I've ever touched. Went there, her staff checked for me and turns out to be the same as my initial diagnose which was the RAM was problematic, called my mum to come down and LOAN me cash for the new RAM, took it home and till today, its working fine, a little laggy and needs to be cleaned up. And I dropped my graphics card which made little flickers on the screen which apparently... Took a long time for my sister to see to confirm that it's not me but its the computer.

Wednesday:
Went to school and when school ended, the door was locked due to the magnetic lock and had to wait for awhile. My classmates were extremely noisy and pushy, just pushing me around without saying excuse me. Went home and checked the graphics card again. Turns out its still there so I took the graphics card, my old computer's DDR2 RAM and the problematic DDR3 RAM as well as Rizal's hard disk to the service center opposite Sim Lim Square. Went there, the checked the hard disk, and changed a new one for me. My DDR3 RAM wasn't something, didn't really understand so needs to be sent back to Kingston and will be done in 1 to 3 month's time -_-||

DDR2 RAM was tested to be fine but changed another for me anyway. And my graphics card was a little harder to test. And it took awhile before he saw it, but the funny thing is (warning, if you don't understand, please ignore the following and skip to the next paragraph) my VGA was the one that caused the flicker, and I just told him I tested all even though I didn't cause I was lazy XP. But at the service center, its the DVI that has problem. They changed for me anyway.

I went home and installed the new graphics card and now there isn't any problem. Rizal's hard disk has been changed but drivers still can't be installed. Which I suspect that the case got problem. Gonna test it today with my sister's hard disk.

That's all so far, I'm still in the process of setting up my PC. Have a good day everyone!!!
