Reviving an old PC
My dust-collecting PC is alive again (No, not the one in photo). This was after months of snobbery. It was left on its own after its power supply finally gave up. Apparently, the regular hard resets (turning on, off the power switch), which I used to reset my PC, have affected the power supply (and the exhaust fans). So I bought a new power supply, a new casing (looks better) and additional fans. And when I fired it up this morning, it was back on tiptop shape–save for two malware discovered during a long system scan.
By the way, I’m using ESET’s Nod32 antivirus software now. Looks fine so far after I installed it. Somebody told me that I should consider Windows 7 for this unit…But that means I have to backup the whole system in case something goes wrong.
Maybe not.
