Computer woes
Well, it's a good thing I'm in the process of transferring to the new computer.
At 3 am I was awakened by a beeping noise. It turned out to be the main computer. No pattern to it. Just [beep[ [pause] [beep] [pause]....
I tried figuring out what the problem was, but windows didn't any error messages I could find. Nor were things like various temps out of range.
A few thing didn't work, and so I started closing windows to shut down. but some wouldn't respond. So I had to do a "force shutdown". And *that* was on the "shutting down" screen so long I finally just held down the power switch.
Powering back on it immediately started the beeps again and said something about the configuration not matching. Couldn't get into the setup, so I powered off.
Currently copying contents of the drive from the old to the new (plugging old drive into a spare slot).
Currently working on the one new drive that has been delivered.
Then I'll have to see if I can fit enough from the 500 gig C: drive from the old one onto the 300 gig C: drive on the new one to get things working acceptably.
If not I'll try running the new box off the C: drive from the old box until the new drives arrive.
Once I get the new box completely setup up[ with the new drives, I can put the old box on the bench and see what's hosed.
