Remember those problems I was having with my family computer?

Well, it received a nasty virus that wiped the BIOS.

Family computer, from 2005-ish til today.

I'll buy another one so that me and my brother can team up on CSS. You never know, he might even join the clan as a casual player.

Can't you flash it using another comp to get the BIOS?

I was never able to flash the BIOS on that particular motherboard, but I can give it a go. Usually these viruses are pretty nasty and prevent this also. Will let you know how I get on!

Well, I couldn't flash the BIOS because the BIOS didn't know how to be flashed, you get me?

Anyway.

I'm selling the processor and memory in CEX Gloucester tomorrow.

Heh, I would at least have given that case a clean before taking pictures of it.

Bleh, maybe. At least I was honest. I also gave them photo's of the damage on it
It's going super-cheap anyway.

Yeah, but a lit run with a duster or some water would have made it look considerably better, lol.

Pfft. It doesn't matter too much for me.

i got a virus 3 times onto my dads laptop which he uses at work to program sky boxes (hope no information leaked there) he had to reinstall everything and now wont let me use steam on it. the charger light at the boottom right flashes low battery warning everytime i turn it on even tho its at full battery :O

I'm using a Linux PC as the main family computer now. It's an old Dell Optiplex SX280, Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 768MB DDR2, 40GB HDD, Ubuntu 8.04, runs MediaTomb and connects to PS3 wirelessly, it's a sweet setup!
