Mostly because my Desktop that I use has had the screen go black more than a few times. But it wasn't the dreaded BLACK screen that means everything crashed. It is just that my monitor goes black. I've discovered that I can turn the monitor off and on and then it is fine again for a while. Today it was fine all day until close to dinner time. Then we black three times in a row. I was thinking that was it, it was dead but now it has been fine again for close to 5 hours. So who knows. I've checked the connections and everything there is tight.
I do know when it went black the very first first time I rebooted it because i thought it was 'dead'. When it came back on I was thrilled and did the disk defrag and disk clean up (there was over 8Million bits of data in the Recycle bin). Anyway, that helped, well at least I like to think it did.
I'm not sure if I should just bite the bullet and get a new desktop but I have no clue about Windows 10 and whether it is compatible with my work's system. Thinking possibly going with refurbished. Choxi has some with Windows 7 that are only around $300. Will be something to think about possibly sooner than later.
We at least have the back up one upstairs should this one totally crash while I am working. I have used this one for I would guess about 5 years and have worked it very hard! LOL :)
Going to go get ready to hit the sack and watch some Jimmy.
