How did the laptop explode?

Didn't quite literally explode, but it will no longer run a video card driver or even stay booted for very long anymore, so I desperately need a good editing PC because that's pretty much where I earn all of my income these days. I only need about another $200 for the specs I'm looking at. ^^

I see.

Oh my god, thank you so much for getting the word out! You have no idea how nice that is or how much it means to me... <3

Happy to help - been there done that, got the t-shirt. :)
