My computer just died a few minutes ago. The blue screen of death came up, it shut off then restarted, and now an error message that essentially says that my Windows is corrupted comes up and won't allow me to do anything, not even a soft boot, before it shuts off again. I've just tried everything I know to do, and it's useless. I'm using my family's borrowed laptop right now, but since the drives are so outdated and we can't afford to update them (not to mention that it's not our computer anyway) so the screen dimensions are all messed up and I cannot do any sort of art on it (well... I can. I just hate it). I've tried, but it's very unpleasant and drives me insane.

I don't know what to do! I'm $400 short of affording a new computer and neither mom nor dad can help me and I'm a full-time student and don't have a job. I'm screwed. If I can finish and sell a couple of fursuits, I might have enough, but there's really no guarantee of that. I hate using this computer for art, but I can do it if I need to, and any commissions would really help. Any at all. I'm a little desperate.
