Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

The power just went out due to wind from the rainstorm because of course it would.  No one in the state of Massachusetts knows how to ******* set up power lines.  They ALWAYS have to put them next to trees.  ******* hell.

My town has had multiple blackouts recently due to blown transformers. The power grid in Mass is in need of a major upgrade.

What happened to your laptop exactly?  Will it not turn on?

I bought my girlfriend a new laptop like 4 years ago, she had it like a month and then tripped getting up and the corner of the coffee table slammed into the keyboard. Wouldn't turn off after that, that was cool!

Did you flash the CMOS on it to reset it?

What happened before my computer became unusable was that the computer was lagging badly and would take a long time to complete tasks (and this is a brand new ultrabook I got for Christmas).  Then it finally blue screened and then began a never ending error loop; in which, I could start up the Ultrabook, but it kept saying that it was unusable.  I don't think it has anything to do with Malware as I have a good antivirus software and nothing turned up.  I think it is/was something to do with the graphics card and a mix up with drivers.  The ultrabook was running Windows 10 but only had graphics drivers intended for Windows 8 (R).   This caused the card to crash and recover a lot.  At least that is what I think is the problem.

Did you run a hard drive test? That can cause the BSOD some times. I hope you have the backup disks. That way it can be blamed on the place it was bought at.

Belated update on the laptop.  Fixed it after using Lenovo's"Novo Button" which allows you to factory default the computer.
