So, the button on my computer is starting to go, I think. As such, I decided to not turn off my computer and just log off instead. I asked some techie type at work and he said that should be fine. Weird thing is that my computer was off this morning, not just logged off. I do the log off thing with my laptop and it works fine.
This ever happen to anyone? (Where you don't turn off your computer yet it shuts off on its own?) I apologize once more for dumbass questions. Eh, in case you need specs: Windows XP Media Center Edition, Version 2, Service Pack 2 AMD Athlon ™ 63 Processor 3400+ 2.39 GHz, 1.00 GB of Ram Yes I know my computer sucks. |

LOL I never thought it was Windows, I'm just afraid to push the button. The reasoning behind figuring out how to log off instead of turning off was because I wanted to avoid pushing that dreaded button. XD
For some reason, when I created this thread, I wasn't able to log off. It looked like I was logged off, I went through the motions of logging off, but I'd come back to the computer in the morning and there'd be my desktop, taunting me with me with my less than successful logging off technique. Either that or the computer would be off when I returned. |
