I really…really…really don’t want to rebuild. I find it stressful.
I really don’t want to research on my phone. Like last time. I could boot linux from USB. And use a browser on the desktop.
Could keep…
Case, keyboard, monitor, ancient video card, mouse, 16GB memory if compatable.
Replace…
Motherboard, power supply, CPU processor, hard drive…again.
There is s possibly that the only thing that needs replacing is the motherboard and/or the power supply. However I do believe the new harddrive has been damaged due to the aforementioned problems.
Add…
Surge protector
