Your computer will die in 5 minutes...

[joshthor]

grab my external drive, back up all of the items in "my documents", "my pictures", and "my music" in that order. screw videos. while doing that, i would try to figure out what the problem is with my computer, if its the cpu, or memory, i would take note of that and order a new one, if it was my motherboard or gpu i would remove my cpu, memory, and hard drive and sell them (keep the hard drive though) then buy a new laptop.

After backing up everything I need to keep I'll be googling solutions. If I can't solve it, I'll have it play Rick Asterly until it dies.

OH GOD, WHERE IS MY FLASH DRIVE, IT WAS RIGHT HERE THE OTHER DAY, I HAVE NORTON, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. SHIT SHIT SHIT, MY SAVE FILES GO FIRST ON THE FLASH DRIVE, NO WAIT, VIDEOS, I DON'T WANT TO DOWNLOAD THEM ALL AGAIN. MY TORRENTS, FUCK.

I got 3 more PCs. The one I am using at the moment is expected to die out soon, getting old.

 

[mjc0961]

Die how? If it's hardware (as in the motherboard is going to fry), I would just shut it off and get my HDDs out of there. If it was the HDDs that were going to fail, I would probably hate myself for not backing it up more. If it was the software, move everything important from my master drive to my slave drive, and then format and reinstall Windows on the master.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT I've lost all my data about 3 times now, PCs keep dying on me, well actually the first one my sister deleted a shit load of vital files because they were taking space that she wanted to use for music -_- she's not particularly bright but she's hard-working and has people skills so that balances that out, well anyway the second time I bought a used PC and it turned out to be deffective and the hard drive burned still not sure how that happened, 3rd time I was moving the car's engine bursted into flames and the computer and PS3 burned along with it.
So I'm pretty sure I could live with that.

FREEEDOOOM!!!!!!!!!

Okay, now I sound like a pathetic loser who lacks the motivation and self-discipline to get away from the computer and do more things with my life.

In all seriousness, I'd hastily upload my favourite pictures and writing somewhere. If I missed anything it doesn't matter too much. Then I'd see if my brother could fix this laptop. Some time later, after having been forced to do other things due to boredom and loneliness, I'd attempt to build a new computer, that or buy a really old one and play old games, depending on my mood.

I'd chuckle to myself and plug my charger back in.

Seriously, five minutes of battery life on a laptop really makes it hard to get anything done when there aren't any outlets around.

Actually, this, haha.

 

[Bad Cluster]

Turn it off, take it apart and deal with the cause using my other PC.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

I would thank myself for keeping everything mirrored on multiple external HDs so when this does happen, I don't lose anything. Then I would be happily shopping for a more powerful machine, while also cringing at the idea of spending that kind of money when I can't really afford it right now.

 

[Zhukov]

Turn it off.

Then call a technician.

 

[Sejs Cube]

By getting the name of the problem, rebooting in safe mode (if software)/shutting down (if hardware), and then checking things out on my laptop.

 

[Nexoram]

Shit. These kinds of threads have been done to death.
OT:If it was fixable then I would try to fix it. If not, than hell, why bother if it's unfixable.

That would explain why your computer would be dying.

 

[THAC0]

I would stand at the edge of the world as the new, and unfamiliar, horizon approached me.
So, it has come to this at last.

If the sun will rise tomorrow, I am unsure.
For this is the end of all things.

The creations of man, for all their ingenuity and hubris, crumble now as the night to end all nights claims this final day.

If my sacrifice has been sufficient, if the world has been saved, I will never know. This is a story that began in days long past, and I have only played my part, perhaps the final part.

Oblivion is very near now. The struggle is over.
I close my eyes.

 

[Gigano]

Sounds like a likely assessment, thing's been acting up of late...

OT: turn it off, take it to a PC repair shop, then let them deal with it. Or get a new one.

 

[OldAccount]

Make my laptop as comfortable as possible, hold him in my arms, be with my old friend in his last moments of life.

I love you, Patch!

 

[Wondermint13]

Why be a sore looser?
I would shut it down with dignity and go play some Muthaf***ing Playstation 2!!
