My computer is giving me all sorts of issue these days. My roomate, who is much more techno-savvy than I, has suggested that either my driveers are out of date or my computer is about to annihilate itself.
It’d prefer the former, of course.
But I have no idea how to go about fixing the problem. Especially on a budget of next to nothing.
Symptoms:
It shuts off occasionally on it’s own. When I turn it off and boot back up, it often goes to a black screen with only a blinking cursor. Only several attempts of on and off gets it to the sign on.
It now refuses to play my few burned DVDs ( I only have four, and they are all Doctor Who series 1-3).
Are there alternatives to a compete refurbishment or buying a new computer?
