Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4614 Posts	Posted 09/02/2024 02:31 am My computer is hit and miss right now, but I'm working to resolve the issue. I think it's a hard drive connection problem. Most of the time I get a blue screen with 'Please Install Operating System' at powerup.

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 20696 Posts	Posted 09/02/2024 10:22 am Best wishes with your laptop, Yokozuna. Recently I was getting the BSOD - Blue Screen of Death - and messages about hard drive failure. It seems that the cause of it was Mozilla Firefox. Started using a different browser and all has been well (knock on my woody head) for the last 2 months. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 5212 Posts	Posted 09/02/2024 12:24 pm I know it's not feasible for many folks, but I have found that it's almost always better to keep patching an older machine as long as it isn't falling behind in security updates due to age. Also, I have personally found a Linux conversion to be a decent pathway to stretch old hardware, although that certainly isn't for everyone. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4474 Posts	Posted 09/03/2024 1:14 pm What do you need it for? As long as you aren't a gamer... If it's basic email, web surfing, YouTube, casual gaming, and Word/Excel, go a couple of notches below the fastest CPU and max out the memory & drive space. I've done that since my first machine in the 80s and always gotten 5 - 10 years out of them. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
