So, a few days ago, my computer's monitor went into an unending cycle of turning on just long enough for the screen to blink, and then shutting down, and then turning on a couple seconds later just long enough for the screen to blink...
So, before I figure out entirely what I'm going to do about that, the monitor fixes itself. When I turn the computer on, I discover a key Windows file is corrupted, and I have to run the repair CD. Fine. I do, and the computer freezes. I try using the CD to just flat-out reinstall windows. The computer freezes.
Do you know how long it takes to realize a computer running on DOS has frozen?
