My PC is dead… again

Well, it looks like [my new PC](/2006/05/24/my-new-pc/) lasted less than [1.5 years](/2006/04/19/my-pc-is-dead/). Just got back from my vacation, and I can’t even turn the damned thing on. I suspect it cooled down after running constantly and the Mobo died. I am not really sure though. And I am not really sure what I will do to solve the problem. Debugging it and buying a spare part seems like the straightforward solution; however, that would mean I will just continue the cycle of self-built PCs.

On the other hand, I don’t exactly have a heap of cash sitting around after my 3 weeks vacation… so buying a complete, high end machine is definitely not possible for me at the moment.

What to do, what do to…

_Update, 2007-09-11:_ I fixed it last night by putting a new PSU in. Cost: 44 Euro. Cheap solution, but I am still unhappy about my setup. I guess I will find a new solution in the medium term. Until then… I’ll still need to buy a notebook next, for travel-blogging.
