Home U.S. Coin Forum

Well now what else can go wrong. And a pretty toned cent

Your all showing great coins except I cant view them. My computer took a little bit of a power surge and it fried my graphic card. and wore to boot the built in chip took a hit too. First I lose my job then I cant buy coins. Then the other shoe ups and drops, stupid bad weather stupid lightning stupid not being able to buy coins and stupid bad graphics chips.


Some many great coin pic being posted and I cant even see them well I can they just all look like ghosts. Well I guess Im going to have to take the ole computer into Gateway and have them fix it and then I talk to them about it and they say it might not be covered. I hope it dosent cost a bunch the computer is 2.5 years old I dont want to be dumping a bundle into it. After all thats money I can be spending on coins. To bad I dont have an awsome benifactor.

LOL I hope by putting the coin on here the posting nazi dosent move this thread to the open forum.

    Next time you go to buy a coin buy a surge supressor instead. Get one that protects your phone line too because surges will come in on the phone line too.
    And don't worry things will get worse before they get any better.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
  • Ahhh surge protectors guess what everything is on one except the montor. I think I got a charge back through the montor into the pci graphic card into the built in graphic chip on the main board. I Know it fried the pci card i can see where its burnt. but the built in chip i guess mys have bit the dust too.

  • Yep you have to have everything plugged in to the suppressor for it to work, otherwise it comes in the back and bypasses it just like you stated. I like the panamax brand of suppressors, they have lifetime warranty and equipment coverage and are made to handle most lightning strikes.Get one for your tv if it's a big screen or cost alot. image
