My computer is failing. I think its 3 years last month that I bought it. Its a Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5210 and it appears to be the hard drive that's failing, that's why I haven't been posting for the last 2 1/2 weeks.
Some days ago I was attempting to post my latest build thread and spent 2 hours working on that thread and when I was almost done my computer suddenly turned off! It started about a month ago, it has just turned off by itself with no warning about once a week, one time it took me 8 hours to get it to boot again. It is slow and sluggish with the browser or email or other things will stop responding for a few seconds at a time and I keep getting warning messages from Windows saying the hard drive is failing.
I have been using computers since the mid 80's and never had a HD fail after only 3 years. Am not sure if I will bother fixing it or not. It doesn't matter because I have just bought a new Lenovo that is way better than the Toshiba and it only cost about $25 more than the Toshiba did 3 years ago. One surprise I wasn't aware of, the 1 TB HD in my new Lenovo is a Toshiba HD! I hope this one will last longer. I should be back to normal on the new computer in a few days. I'll post at least a short review.
