While I greatly appreciate all of the advice I got from everybody about laptops (especially all that you gave, Sisen), I ended up just having it repaired...

It was some problem with RAM and the hard drive, supposedly. I still remained unconvinced the hard drive was bad seeing as when I stopped in yesterday to hear face-to-face everything that was wrong, I got to look at the computer and looged in just fine and all of my data was there and yeah... But they're replacing those. Which wasn't too expensive. But then are charging me to reinstall the OS and other stuff and yeah... It still ended up being pricey.

I'd have probably just bought the new laptop. But I called my dad and he said if they can fix it, fix it. He didn't want me to keep having to wait (even though I'm still waiting now to get it back from being actually repaired).

So once again, thanks guys. But it looks like I'll just be sticking with the old one.

Now to see what condition it's in and if I can remember all of my settings to restore ha...
