PLEASE HELP! I think my computer is dieing!?
I just came in from a New Years Eve party and turned on my computer. I couldn't get to any web sites and my desktop looked different somehow. Nothing seems to work right.
I had heard somewhere that computers were susceptible to viruses. So I went to the bathroom and, from the medicine cabinet I found two penicillin tablets. I crushed them up with a spoon and fed them where my CD's go. It ate them OK when the CD holder slid back in. But, it's still not working right. Now, it's turning off and on all by itself.
I called 911 but the dispatcher just kept hanging up on me. The emergency room is 15 miles away. My question is: Should I take my computer to the hospital? I don't want it to die.

If you have a lamp on the table, cut the cord where it goes into the base of the lamp.
Next, cut the wire down the middle where you'll now have two wires.
Now trim the ends off each wire where bare metal is showing. About three inches of bare wire on each one should do.
Now with the cord plugged in and one wire in each hand, yell CLEAR in a loud voice and ram each cord into the left and right sides of your computer at the same time.
Don't give up. Do it again and again every 15 seconds until you see the smiley face on your computer screen.

Ok ok, YOU are the most important now to save his life. Two tablets was too much. Start the reanimation process now imediatly. You don't know how? I help you: first of all he need to breath, keep the printercabel connected on the pc but take it out of the printer quick, take a deep breath and blow in the end of the cable. No movements??? Ok heart massage is the next: put your both hands flat on the keyboard don't spread your fingers! Now push them down five times, then take a deep breath again and blow in the usb printer cord again. Now 5 heartmassages again, then again fresh air... No changes?? Don't worry it can take long, don't give up, continue, when a smiling face appear on the screen it's alive again. Remember YOU are the most important now to save it's life. Be strong.!
By the way : if all this failes : a fresh cup of water over the screen can do miracles to.
Good luck.
