Original Blog Entry: Computer problem

Was watching a you tube short the other night. All of a sudden my screen went black with sound still playing for awhile and then nothing. I could not figure out what happen. I fiddled with keys on my keyboard for 2 days. Once in awhile a blue buffering would do its thing for a few second.

I turned off the computer and turned it back on thinking it would reset the screen. Which it did not. I did notice when I shut it off I could turn the computer back on by hitting the control key but it still came up black.

I turned computer off last night and when I got up I noticed that it turned on by itself. I fiddled with it for a few hours and then left it for awhile. Sat back down and fiddled with it some more.

I do not know why I thought of it but I decided to press down on CTRL key holding it and hit computer shut off button at same time. Well that shut off the computer. I hit control key and it would not turn on. So I hit the on off button which turned computer back on and showing a lit up home screen

Had to sign in which I did and was back on the internet. Let all the online stuff load and then clicked on a web site. I noticed the web site would not load and then I noticed the you tube short was trying to load. Hit the X to stop that and then hit another website to load which it did.

What I figured happen is the you tube short locked up the screen making it go black and unable to turn computer off with the on off button. Probably trying to load a short before the previous short was still on.

Jammed that screen up tighter than a gnats ass to a rain barrel.
