I didn't really want to say anything until it was 100% confirmed but basically that computer I worked so hard to get before was defective. I had the first one and something odd happened so I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and sent it back for a replacement since my warranty was still active. Then the newer one stuck around until one day i restarted and it suddenly had a malfunction. I'd been trying to get around to finding out what was wrong with it and recently was able to find out that some circuit or the motherboard or something went stupid and the replacement piece is somewhere around $300 and I have completely given up on that thing.

When i have posted things in the time, it's been because i've used my mother's computer to do it, which is not exactly time efficient. for the moment, i have permanent use of it though so i'm gonna do what i can but yeah...that's the gist of everything...
