it all started a month back when my sisters computer felt like dieing. she got a new pc within the last 72hours cost £10. its a old beast

Code:
CPU[Pentium II (Klamath) clocked at 233.868 Mhz]  Kernel[Linux 2.4.26 i686]  Up[-46min-]  Mem[-59.1719/60.5234MB-]  HDD[-4GB(13%used)-]  Procs[-36-]  Client[Shell]

first night it was working nicely. but the computer seemed to have the same problems as the last computer that died. the monitor wouldnt work right. so my sister went to turn it off with what she though was the power off switch. but turned out to increase the voltage. the pc went bang. i changed the power supply on it(next day) and got it to work agian. but it would not work right (wouldnt boot from cd) so i changed the ide cables and then it wouldnt work at all. well after hours of messing around with differnt ways to put the ide cables i had to call my dad to help me.

my last major lose of data was from trying to install suse with out reading the manual before hand. i really messed up my hard drive that way. i managed to lose all my data i was lucky enough to have knoppix to save my most important data(web sites i made mainly).
