DISASTER - Dead PC
4 months ago
My pc that I use for all my work has died.
This is very bad news.
I have just finished paying for a second-hand laptop, which is how I'm making this post, but it doesn't have all the software I need to do my work. It also doesn't have any of my work on it, that's all locked up in the hard drives on my dead pc, the hard drives that I'm hoping are okay. I have back ups of some work but not the most recent, the pc died as I was working on things without warning.
Suspected failure is graphics card or motherboard. I've got no visual output to the monitors. The monitors themselves are fine, thankfully, including my drawing tablet.
I've got some things ordered that will hopefully get me access to the hard drives and the work that I need to do. However, I'm not sure if I can do everything I need to since the laptop doesn't have all the functionality I need and was never intended to be a replacement the pc, just a supplementary device to help with work flow.
I have been asking for help to get the funds to buy a new PC for quite a few years now and I'm asking again now. A new machine is going to cost about £2000-3000 GBP for what I need to create my work.
Those reading will know I've only just moved house, so I'm financially crippled. Even though I have just started a part time job, it isn't enough to cover the bills and save for a new PC.
I'm stuck.
This is a situation that's very difficult to get out of and while I'm doing my best, there's only so much I can do.

Cash is the thing I need so I can replace the PC and get back to work. The quicker I can raise the funds the better.

Do appreciate the offer of parts though, if it turns out that might be a solution I'll be in touch. Realistically though a new PC is a must in this situation, had I not moved house that would have happened a few months ago when I had the money to do it because the PC was really struggling to keep up with what I needed it to do let alone the more advance stuff I want to do.
Hugs.
