Laptop is Fixed! Though am keeping an eye out...
a month ago
As the title state, my laptop got fixed just now at my local computer shop. Turned out that the RAM of my laptop that gave out, and not what I had thought, which was the power system and battery. A quick change of the RAM and it was working like new again.
I'm thankful for this, since that means that there was no other major issue with my laptop. And best of all, my essay for my English Honors class is intact, which means i can continue working on it and get it ready to turn in for tomorrow. So there's that. :)
But I will say, this experience did leave me rather rattled. I honestly thought that I would have to buy a new Laptop and have to restore all my so-called lost files from this laptop manually. But it all worked out in the end, I suppose.
However, this is the second issue that my laptop has had in the past three months, the first one being the fans that gave out on my laptop and were making it overheat. Now with the RAM having been broken, that means that my laptop may not last for much longer. I've had this laptop for close to 3 years, so it's starting to show its age. I won't be putting it through anything rigorous anymore, and I'll be sure to keep my gaming down.
I'll need to seriously consider my options and get info on new laptops that are out there, see which ones are worth it for when this one finally goes kablooey for the second time, and the costs of repair for that second kablooey being not worth it.
Overall, though, I'm just happy that my laptop is in working order again. I can finally get to work!
Now, if you guys will excuse me, I got an essay to finish for English Honors. No rest for the wicked! :D
Sincerely,

Also, had it dusted too?
I guess it was overheating, too. It used to get super hot when gaming.
Reason is the cooling
