Ok. I got off the phone with the guy working on my computer. He says that the motherboard is shot because of a short in the video card, and he recommends a new video card, motherboard, and power supply.
I am going to look around and see where I can get good deals on these things, but another option my mother and I came up with is to just get a new computer entirely and pay it off in increments per month.
Any of you know of a good place where I could get either inexpensive components or an inexpensive computer that can be paid off monthly? We already tried Dell.com, and they rejected me for monthly planning. Somehow, I have big credit card debt despite barely ever using it (I only remember using it for a $100 PS1 and random gas back in 2001-2002). My mom says the big debt is due to interest charges.
FUCK CREDIT CARDS!
Anyway, if anyone knows of a place with inexpensive components or inexpensive computers that won't turn me down for monthly payment, please let me know. Thanks.
