I was going about my usual business catching up online. Then I hear what sounded like the equivalent to the CD drawer of the laptop opening and then tiny clicking noises. I went "That's weird" only to have my laptop freeze (I could still move my mouse though) and then I came up with "Windows has encountered an error and needs to reboot." So it rebooted itself only to come up with a black screen with "Boot Device Not Found"
By this time I'm Freaking out because I have art and an AMV I didn't back up yet. I did an F2 and scanned the Hard Disk. I wasn't able to tell what the results were because I was texting my boyfriend letting him know what happened and then it shut off on its own. I let it rest for a few minutes because the vent on the side felt hot to the touch then I turned it back on.
Luckily it booted back up just fine. But I'm posting this to let you guys know that if I'm unresponsive/haven't logged on in a few days then that's why. At the moment I can't afford another laptop for probably a few weeks (maybe more) so hopefully this will hold out until then. OTL As it is I have a bunch of other stuff I need to save up for so this is very irksome. :c
I will try to sign on through mobile when I can if this happens, but it might be spotty because my ipod that I've had for years has a cracked screen and I don't like using it for that reason.
If in the event that I cannot keep up with the upcoming site RP, I hereby accept the relinquishing of the canons I've applied for as well as the termination of the OCs I've held out for and the site RP may go without me.

That's awful! My laptop is also on its last legs, but nothing THAT bad has happened yet. I hope everything works out!

Update: So, this is the day after that event happened. So far everything's looking good. My original post still stands though. if I go AWOL for a while then my laptop officially rests in peace and the Site RP must go on.

Well I mean we're a ways away from it starting so hopefully we'll know before we get started.

Oh man that's rough. I had so many issues with my old laptop it was so painful. Sending prayers and good vibes your way!!
The only issue I have with my new laptop is that it won't connect to the wifi at camp so idk how active I'll be during the new month and a half |D

That sucks. I've been having laptop troubles myself, mostly the battery. Says it's overheated no matter what.
